Pirates 3!!

[DarkDestiny]

I have advanced tickets for tomorrows showing. Yay! I can't wait to see Captain Jack again. I hope it is not disappointing like Spiderman 3.

Anyone else going to the 8 or midnight showing tomorrow?

[kt-san]

I just saw the commercial! and I just watched the second one yesterday which I shouldn't have cause now i want to see the third and I have absolutely no money whatsoever.

[Depression]

I'm going to the midnight.

[Vaikyuko]

I'll see it whenever I have time. I'm still somewhat pissed that Pirates 2 and 3 are basically one film split in half for marketing purposes. Cliffhangers make me very, very angry.

[Depression]

Cliffhangers make me very, very angry.

Yet they don't play it off at all as if Jack is dead or there will be any difficulty getting him back as he is shown in all of the trailers

[Haro!]

I am so going to see this.... Cute girls assemble!

[LOSTyears]

I hope it is not disappointing like Spiderman 3.Yeah I hear ya.
Won't be able to go till Sunday on my day off. I really enjoyed 2 despite all the negatives about it, wish the franchise could go further :( but it seems their going to wrap it all up here.

[Panko Z]

most likely midnight tomorrow for me. i liked #2 but i thought too many parts dragged on unnecessarily. hoping for better on this one!

[Danju]

Huh, another one? I still haven't even seen the second. I'm just not seeing what everyone uh...sees...in this.

I hope you were joking about what you said, if not you kinda could have put that in a spoiler tag.

[Kali-chan]

fixed, and I really want to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superplough]

I'm going to see it this weekend. ^_^

[Kali-chan]

I WANNA SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone want me to spoil the ending? I'm not quite sure of all of the details...

[superplough]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(filler)

PS did I mention NO!!!!!!!

[Kali-chan]

Okay, but
(this is just a view that may influence what you think, not the actual ending)
It is terribly disappointing

[superplough]

*doesn't read because last time I read someone's opinion of a movie it ruined it for me*

Sorry, but I want to see it with no skewed expectations of what's gonna happen.

[DarkDestiny]

most likely midnight tomorrow for me. i liked #2 but i thought too many parts dragged on unnecessarily. hoping for better on this one!

True. I thought the same. I believe they tried too hard with the crazy stunts/computer animation. Entertaining, but unnecessary and it really dragged it out.

Aww! Spoiler people! How do you know so soon??!!!

[Depression]

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/pirates_of_the_caribbean_3/

Mixed bag, joy. Matrix all over again?

Classic first entry, sequels cluttered with more effects than story.

[DarkDestiny]

^ Ooooohhh. Although I am tempted and very, very curious to read it, I think I will wait until I see it tomorrow. But I hope the critics ar wrong...

[Depression]

Yeah 14 positive and 13 negative reviews so far. A relatively small sample, but a near 50% rating isn't exactly a great sign.

[Evil_Koala]

Goin to see it tomorrow :D

[F Stop]

I have no interest in seeing this. I thought the second one sucked.

[Solid_Snake]

Overated film franchise that's riding the coat tails of all the "Pretty" and "Hot" lead cast.

In other words, fail.

[Dr. Ezra]

I'm going to wait a while to see this, I want to avoid the rabid fans.

I saw the second one the day it came out and the theater was practically empty. We went to the 10:00 AM showing. Heh.

Woah. It must be very unpopular in your area. As it was sold out for the first three days in mine...

Ghettos ftw?

EDIT: Dang! Even if I wanted to go I wouldn't be able too. Not that I would want to! :P

[Gibb]

I don't analyze the hell out of movies, I watch them for entertainment value. The Pirates movies are entertaining, and I plan on seeing the third one Friday night with a large group of people.

[Dr. Ezra]

Woah. It must be very unpopular in your area. As it was sold out for the first three days in mine...

Ghettos ftw?


No, it's waaay popular in my area. There were people with signs and decorated shirts when we were coming out of the theater. People just don't want to go to the early showings.

[Ikari Warrior]

No, it's waaay popular in my area. There were people with signs and decorated shirts when we were coming out of the theater. People just don't want to go to the early showings.

For some odd reason, Matinee shows are generally not that popular. There's a 9am show near me on friday. I love matinee's though. Less expensive, less crowded, and you get the exact same movie experience. I suppose it's more of an "I don't got the time" rather than "I don't wanna see a movie in the daytime".

Matinee FTW!!!

I might go but then again schools are getting out for the summer so hopefully I'll be able to catch an early afternoon showing.

[Raziel_MGS]

all my friends love this series, i hated the first one, never saw the second, and am being dragged to the third! the only good part about the first was when the the cannon fell into the dock and the two British soldiers ran into it, ahaha

[Westlo]

Loved the first, 2nd was a pile of crap, not expecting much from the 3rd.

[KazumaII]

Sorry I am not interested in watching a Yaoi pirate move.

[Sushikins]

I just returned from the theater, and all I can say is that it was awesome, very much worth waiting since last summer.

[Ariel Tsuki]

Or most likely, it's more like "I don't want to get up early for a movie" like me. Luckily, matinees in NYC usually run until 4 PM on weekdays, so that matinee problem occurs only on the weekends.


Also, I saw the movie. I will not spoil the movie, which was GREAT to watch. If you hated the second movie, you'll love, or at least like, the third one. I kinda see what some critics were going on about but IMO I didn't think it was as much as they say it to be. Personally, I like it very much and pretty much sold me to buy the eventual box set in the future.

So the ranking is like this, IMO:
1) Curse of the Black Pearl
2) At World's End
3) Dead Man's Chest

[Depression]

If you hated the second movie, you'll love, or at least like, the third one.

Not necessarily.

Many complaints about the second movie were due to the lack of its story. This movie is even more lacking of a story.

Is there anybody that can tell me who was on what side and what they were fighting for? Sides were switched every chance that was presented.

Extreme Spoilers for PotC: At World's End

Will- Was for the East India Tea Company for majority of the movie to get a chance to get the Black Pearl to save his father. But later realizes that he has to choose either Elisabeth or his father, who started to have memory problems. He does eventually see that his plan failed and the EITC betrayed him. Fought for the side of the pirates towards the end.

Jack- Made a deal with Beckett from the EITC in order to save his own hide and secure his freedom from Beckett's plan to finish off piracy in the Caribbean. Jack basically switch back to the Black Pearl crew because it was more benifical to him at the time.

Elisabeth- She only switch sides once in order to save the crew from the Singporean pirates. But IMO, the biggest plothole in this series is that they never explain clearly why she was falling for Jack while, assumingly, was still in love with Will. I think it was because Jack was her ideal of a pirate in actual flesh. But it seemed like a passing fancy.

Norrington- After having his honor restored from his unhonorable discharge from the second movie and giving Beckett Davy Jones' heart, he realizes he's been played as a pawn after he finds out that Elisabeth's father was killed. He betrays EITC for Elisabeth and dies for it.

Barbossa- Only helped get Jack back for a favor for Tia Dalma after she revived from death, but still wanted the Black Pearl for himself. Tried to preserve piracy of the Caribbean and was rectulant to join up with Jack for it. But at the end of the movie, he did manage to steal the Black Pearl again, only that Jack took the map with the location of hidden treasures inside.

Tia Dalma- This is only assuming, but she helped Jack because he holds one of the Nine of Eight Coins which were seals placed on her true form, Calypso. Once she had her power restored, she basically betrayed the pirates, who were hoping that Calypso would save them, by leaving them to their deaths.

Sao Feng- Betrayed the Code by helping the EITC get the Black Pearl crew in hopes of trying to protect the Singaporean pirates from EITC's plan to get rid of all pirates. Realizes that he's been double crossed somewhat by the EITC, he plans to revive Calypso to get back at them.

And I have to disagree that the third movie had less story than the second. The third movie was focused on finishing all the loose ends of the second movie, which I thought that they did an okay job of. The only minus about it is the sudden introduction of so many new elements of the story... although they managed to resolve them in an okay fashion.

[Alice Catherine]

My dad.

Is such.

An R-tard.

He took 10 screaming kids to see Shrek the Third (AND I HAD TO TAKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM TO THE RESTROOM AT LEAST ONCE) for my younger brother's birthday because, you know, our weather is basically ****ed due to global warming. So I did the best I could, helped with the presents, BAKED THE ****ING CAKE SINCE I'M THE ONLY WOMAN IN OUR HOUSEHOLD WITH RELATIVE DOMESTIC SKILLS, and cleaned up afterward...

Well, I just happened to see the Pirates trailer and my friends and I discussed seeing the Midnight viewing last night, because 7 of us have the Top 10 GPA in our grade and we honestly couldn't give a flying ducky **** less if we were too tired to go the next morning.

Well, MAH DAD (who would allow this for my 11-year-old sister with the Reading Comprehension of a vegetable) decided I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO, because I had caught a cold. So then I asked if, since I had a cold, I would be exempt from school today.

"Of course not."

So I decided to beg my mom to stay home today and my friends promised they'd call and tell me the details.

[Kevin]

I have no interest in seeing this. I thought the second one sucked.

Oh come on, the 2nd wasn't all that bad, it was just all over the place. Go see it F, I think you will be pleasently surprised.

[Alice Catherine]

I think I should ask my dad if I can see it again.

Does the WillxElisabethxJack story get any better? (Please don't spoil it; it's a yes-or-no question)

[Stafal-chan]

^_^ Went to the midnight showing last night. It was a great movie in my opinion....I don't see how (whoever was saying this) the ending was disappointing...:unsure: ^_^ I throughly enjoyed the movie. It was much better than the second one by far. ^_^

[Depression]

I'm not saying it wasn't thrilling to watch on the big screen or not exciting to watch because it was, and it had some of the best special effects I've ever seen.

However, you cannot defend this movie's lack of coherency.

All this movie was, was a mish mash of scenes without a narrative.

49% on RT is far from being a great movie. I think the term great is vastly overused in the context of movies, think of the term "love" being used in highschool relationships.

Not just the negative reviews, but even the positive reviews point out the same problems. Common denomenators found in majority of the reviews: confusion, incoherence, convoluted, overplotted, 'not comprehensible'.

[Panko Z]

saw the midnight showing last night which was great since it wasn't crowded cuz they showed the movie earlier in the evening. so it was like seeing the movie a couple of days later.

anyways, i liked it. i was a little tired since it was late night but i wasn't "bored tired" or sleepy like during the second film. the action, effects, and humor were top-notch as always but like the majority of complaints i really didn't know what the heck was going on. i didn't watch #2 the night before with my sister and friends or even #1 recently so i probably lost a few connections but i still remembered the basics. that being said...

there was so much side-swapping and backstabbing i couldn't keep track but i guess that's the point so no biggie. then the whole pirate brethren and lords comes out of nowhere with no real history or meaning. krakken is dead, wtf when how why?! what happens to davey jones? does he go to the locker too? i had no problem with the ending, though i was hoping will's dad would be the hero.
overall it was a good movie, certainly wouldn't say it deserves that low 49% rating on rottentomatoes.

@Alice Catherine (not a spoiler but in case other's don't want to know)
i didn't think so

[Evil_Koala]

Totally rapetacular guys. UPSKIRT KEIRA KNIGHTLEY! THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY!

[Depression]

Did anybody yell "this is sparta" after Elizabeth said "this is madness"

[Evil_Koala]

Did anybody yell "this is sparta" after Elizabeth said "this is madness"

*raises hand* :D And then when that Chinese chick got a bullet put through her head, me and my friends yelled "BOOM HEADSHOT!"

[Old Ape Face]

I saw this last night, the effects where cool and all but the transitions needed some work, like in scenes where their on the ship, and then on the beach its like nothing happened in between lol and then it turned into a chick flick at the end.

Captain Jack Sparrow (aka Johny Dept), was funny as usual though I got to hand it to the one eyed pirate for a good laugh. (Especially with the crabs lol)

I think this was a good wrap up of events.
I was hoping that at the ending credits Will turner turned out to look uglier then Davy Jones.

[Sushikins]

Did anybody yell "this is sparta" after Elizabeth said "this is madness"

Indeed, my friends who went with me also said that as well.

[Alice Catherine]

My friends all suck.

None of them actually went because they thought that I should be there. So they called and wanted to know if I could go tonight and MY DAD SAID NO.

[Fobb]

The line was long, and it was only the second day. Luckily we found good seats. It was a good movie, but pretty predictable.

[Luna]

I thought there were too many subplots, I was confused throughout most of it, but i loved the ending.

[Old Ape Face]

It felt like 2 hours of sword fighting, through in a few Jack Sparrow humorous moments, and other funny stuff, and conclude it with a chick flick ending.

My favorite/ parts were when Jack is running around the deck in the middle of cannon fire like it's nothing, and every cannon shot misses.

[Takkun-chan]

I loved the movie. Period.

^When I saw Jack walking out and cannons were firing everywhere, I was thinking jack was 'out for a stroll'. That 2 hours and 40 mins were worth my admission.

[DarkDestiny]

I'm not saying it wasn't thrilling to watch on the big screen or not exciting to watch because it was, and it had some of the best special effects I've ever seen.

Not just the negative reviews, but even the positive reviews point out the same problems. Common denomenators found in majority of the reviews: confusion, incoherence, convoluted, overplotted, 'not comprehensible'.

I would have to totally agree. So much backstabbing and unresolved loose ends made it so confusing. What happened with the love triangle? Thye dropped that. What happened to Davey Jones? What happened to Calypso?: Yes I know he died and she was released or whatever, but what was with the build up of their relationship if it amounted to nothing?

As for a positive, I liked the ending. Not your typical, happy ending. And they kinda made it open for a sequel, although I hope not.

[Tom Servo]

Ar! Tha' be truersure in 'em depths, som' say it be guard'd by a dragon an' a elvis impersonator - io turn'd to 'em an' said "oi don't th'nk my fine ship could ev'r make it into the harbour o' area 51 AFB, but io will send som' of me orange critters to hav' a looksee."

The king of the seven seas, uh-huh-huh.

[LOSTyears]

That 2 hours and 40 mins were worth my admission.Second, there was so much going on that it didn't feel as long winded as the second.
As for the negatives that seemed to be mentioned frequently I did not find it confusing at all. Without all the subplots, twist and backstabbings it would kinda delude the whole pirate theme and in this one they just went all out, well thats how I saw it. That whole sequence with Jack in Davy Jones locker and the finale were gold.
I do hope there is more seeing how there could be.

[Westlo]

Yeah honestly it was prety easy to keep up with all the backstabs.. their pirates ffs you don't trust them. THey all have their own agenda and will do whatever they can do survive and further their means to their goal.

Was much better than the 2nd one, could've used 20 mins cut from it though.. like the part when Jack is in the brig near the end.

[Old Ape Face]

lol that's my favorite part :lol:

"EVERYONE STOP!!!!! I dropped my brain" :lol: Best line in the entire movie.

next to "Hows Mum?" :lol:

[Alice Catherine]

We might go later if Aimee responds to my MySpace message.

[Dr. Ezra]

Did anybody yell "this is sparta" after Elizabeth said "this is madness"

I'll do that.

When I go see it.

[Alice Catherine]

It seems that God does not want me to see this movie.

I heard that my peeps were already at the movies so I asked my mom if I could go. She said yes.

OMFG ONE CONDITION TIME.

"You have to take your sister." So I was like "OK." knowing that she's 11 and she'll listen to me.

So we get there and I'm like "One kid, one adult for Pirates."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO! I WANNA SEE SHREK, YOU STUPID *****!"

So I was like, "I am NOT listening to this."

So we saw SHREK instead. With my STUDY HALL MONITOR. And her husband started....it was not a pretty sight. *sobs*

[goddessofanime]

I'm not so excited to see this as I was for DMC. Especially since I accidentally spoiled myself and know who dies and what happens to Will.

[Vaikyuko]

I'm one of the people who loved the original, and thought that Dead Man's Chest was an awesome movie, well crafted in its story.

This movie sucks in comparison. Sure, it's not a bad movie, but the narrative is RIDICULOUS. More gripes below:

Firstly, what the hell was with the plot? Rescue Jack! Brethren Court! Calypso! Davy Jones! Bootstrap Bill! Marry me! Pirates versus EITC! In all seriousness, it was a MASSIVE jumble of plots that would have made plenty of sense if presented properly and coherently. Instead, it plays out like it's one massive...jumble of crap! Hardly anything is explained, and it's just bad plot as a result. The acting on the part of everyone except for Elisabeth and Will was pretty decent; those two were so cheesily bad I wanted to punch them (well, I wanted to do other stuff to Kiera Knightley, and I wanted to kill Orlando Bloom, but that's my usual stance on pretty boys who can't act).

On top of this, there was a lot of pretty eye candy on the way to the land of the dead/Davy Jones' Locker. However, all the trippiness isn't explained, like why the hell Jack is hallucinating. He's DEAD. He can't hallucinate. You're telling me that he's the only person to ever come back and hallucinate, of all the nutjobs we've seen? Hell, Barbossa should be hallucinating a storm up, with all the problems he's had through the movies. Same thing with Sao Feng. You're supposed to feel something when a character dies. I didn't care at all, because he was just Random Pirate #905736 to me. He didn't matter at all to the plot, except for his stupid map to the Locker. That's it. Not to mention that it was ridiculous with Jack's father. He added quite literally nothing to the film, and it isn't logical for Barbossa to know more of the Pirates' Code than Jack would, being that his father is keeper of said code!

That said, Davy Jones wins for being awesome, though sadly not as awesome as last movie.

[Westlo]

I thought Davy Jones was horrible last movie, him not being anywhere near Barbossa was one of the main reasons for 2 sucking imo. He actually grew on me a bit in this movie even though I can't take him seriosuly since Epic Movie. Booty booty booty bootin shakin everywhere.

[Westlo]

krakken is dead, wtf when how why?!

I have no intentions of ever watching #2 again (once is enough) but doesn't Beckett say to Davy Jones

He made him kill his pet or something along those lines, isn't his pet the Krakken? Or did he have another pet? I can't remember and i'm not going to watch it again ever

[Vaikyuko]

What Van said above is correct. Apparently it ocurred offscreen, probably to save them time/money doing a scene in which it happens.

[Daishikaze]

What I don't get is:

Why kill the Kraken though? Surely with Beckett controlling its master, they could have eliminated the pirates much faster, right? Davey send the Kraken out after pirates in one direction, while he goes after pirates in the other. I guess they just wanted to make it easier for our heroes to win in the end.

[Westlo]

Well

I think Beckett made him kill the Kraken to assert himself as his master, also remember how Beckett wanted prisoners? That could've played another part in that and yeah it made it easier for the heroes too.

[sailornyanko]

I have no idea when I'll ever see it. Maybe in two weeks. I'm in finals and my friend is still recovering from his surgery.

[sailornyanko]

I thought Davy Jones was horrible last movie, him not being anywhere near Barbossa was one of the main reasons for 2 sucking imo. He actually grew on me a bit in this movie even though I can't take him seriosuly since Epic Movie. Booty booty booty bootin shakin everywhere.

Probably one of the few things that DIDN'T suck about that movie!

[superplough]

I saw it last night finally. Bloody Brilliant IMO. Jack was great as usual, esp at the end when the Pearl was gone and he had stolen the map. But I think it would have been a lot better without that crap on thew beach with Elizabeth and Will, I mean Wtf? And Will looked damn cool in his new captain outfit.

[RPGQueen]

It seems that God does not want me to see this movie.

I heard that my peeps were already at the movies so I asked my mom if I could go. She said yes.

Calm down. At least you don't have a crapy job which makes you work the night shift every night so you have a hard time seeing any movie.

[Kali-chan]

I still haven't seen this movie yet, and it's bugging me! I got a pirate airbrush tattoo, which I hope to still have when I go see it, though...

[Alice Catherine]

Calm down. At least you don't have a crapy job which makes you work the night shift every night so you have a hard time seeing any movie.

Sorry. It just seems like there's a barrier...

[Daishikaze]

Alice Catherine, believe me this movie is not worth getting that worked up about. You'll see it eventually, be glad that cash is still in your wallet for now.

[MikeJones123]

Is there going to be a part 4? So I dont really get it at the end, where is he going next?

[Vaikyuko]

Is there going to be a part 4? So I dont really get it at the end, where is he going next?

The map that said "Fountain of Youth" and his bit about other ways of keeping away from death didn't say anything about that? XD

[MikeJones123]

I couldnt read the map xD I thought it said something about "Death"

[Evil_Koala]

I have a theory.

Number four is gonna suck. Same goes for Spiderman.

[MikeJones123]

I have a theory.

Number four is gonna suck. Same goes for Spiderman.


If its the same director, 4 is gona be good.
but if its diff director, its gona suck like xmen 3

[Kali-chan]

I heard that
If there is a number 4, then Orlando Bloom refuses to return...

[Westlo]

The scene after the credits pretty much writes those 2 out of this series for good.

[Vaikyuko]

Which is undoubtedly a good thing. I've always hated Will Turner as a character, and Elizabeth became immensely boring ever since the second.

[Westlo]

Since they really shouldn't be in a 4th pirates movie, a 4th one actually has the potential to be better than the 2nd and 3rd.

[LOSTyears]

The scene after the credits pretty much writes those 2 out of this series for good.Seriously wouldn't mind that, since Jack and Barbosa stole the show. I think they could easily carry a 4th film, I can't get enough of Jack so I'd watch it.

[Depression]

Which is undoubtedly a good thing. I've always hated Will Turner as a character, and Elizabeth became immensely boring ever since the second.

Especially considering how wooden an actor Bloom is. Knightley seems to be even less talented. I cringed when she gave her prepare for battle speech.

[Westlo]

Seriously wouldn't mind that, since Jack and Barbosa stole the show. I think they could easily carry a 4th film, I can't get enough of Jack so I'd watch it.

The 4th has to have Barbosa, love Geoffrey Rush in that role.

[Vaikyuko]

Especially considering how wooden an actor Bloom is. Knightley seems to be even less talented. I cringed when she gave her prepare for battle speech.

I think Knightley can do better than Bloom, but that speech was just atrocious. I expected her to say something like "What are we? Mice or men!?" and one of the pirates to respond with "You're a woman.", but alas, didn't happen.

[Ikari Warrior]

could someone spoil the scene after the credits for me? I have no intention of sitting through another 3 hours plus credits, to see a scene that they didn't have to stick in there.

[Depression]

Will returns after 10 years to Elizabeth and their child.

Its unclear as to if he is returning to land for good, or if its only that one day allowed every 10 years to the captain of the dutchman.

Some speculate that he'll be able to return for good because Elizabeth was faithful throughout the 10 years, others say he fullfilled his duty.

[Daishikaze]

Especially considering how wooden an actor Bloom is. Knightley seems to be even less talented. I cringed when she gave her prepare for battle speech.

I definitely agree getting rid of those 2 might just give the series a much needed boost.

[Evil_Koala]

Knightley seems to be even less talented. I cringed when she gave her prepare for battle speech.

One word...Underbite.

[ryushe]

Man, I just seen the movie last night and my, oh my was it good.

I never seemed to see the big deal with the first PotC movie and I've never been interested to watch part two, but I was dragged to watch "At World's End" by a friend and I've got to say I now see what the fuss is about.

With the disappointment that was Spiderman 3 and the horrible horrible taste that 28 Weeks Later left in my mouth (I couldn't believe how bad that movie was. Maybe the worst I've ever seen) I wasn't pleased with what this summers was bringing to the table. With a friends desire to see PotC:AWE at any cost, I decided what the hell and I'm so glad I went.

I liked the movie so much I borrowed the same friends copy of PotC: Dead Man Chest DVD and I can't seem to fathom why so many people seem to dislike it. Sure it was a little all over the place, but I feel it set the stage perfectly for movie 3, which honestly I don't see as a stand alone movie enough to call it a 3. More like a 2.5 in my eyes (Which Spiderman 3 should have done maybe two quarters through the movie so they could make a decent part 4...Which now is unlikely...)

With an interesting plot, Great characters (Barbossa for FTW), Great musical score (The last scene score was fantastic) And an all around awesome movie from start to finish, I have to say this is one of the better movies of the summer and one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I just think people are critiquing the movie to harsly and not engoying it for what it's worth.

EDIT: My listing from the best to not so best;

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

And imo, That's what a movie trilogy is suppose to do. Each succeeding the last.

[Ikari Warrior]

Thanks, Depression. Given how you described that scene, I'd say they could leave it open for Wil and Elizabeth to be in a fourth movie, and at the same time, it's left open to write them out, too.

Hm. I think this thread needs more FANZ. I am a Pirates fanatic, and I'm not talking about Knightly and Bloom. They played their role just fine in my opinion--the only one I really care about is Jack and all the minor characters. But even so, I think the 3rd movie couldn't have come out any other way. It wrapped up all that was unanswered from Movie 1 and 2. Geez, I know you guys don't want the series to be over, but you don't have to get all angry about it. :naughty:

@Depression/ShadowCast: Just to clarify, according to the novel Will was released from it, due to Elizabeth staying faithful. The reason Davy Jones was so pissed off that he had to stay as the ferryman was because he could have gotten out of it had Calypso shown up ten years later. So it's pretty much set in stone that Will is free of duty, though he presumably can return to said duty whenever he wants, I imagine.

@meron_dori-ma: I'm a fan. Doesn't mean I can't be angry about how the film felt like it was completely butchered. I could have made a better film that was more cohesive, and by God, the Kraken would have been in it a lot longer. :P

They wont make a four. The story is finished.

[Westlo]

Believe me if they want to make a 4th they will.

[superplough]

I hope they don't though or we're gonna end up with like 7 of them a la Rocky. Seriously it's finished, they need to stop now while they're ahead.
