Saw this today, 3pm session at Southbank. Place was fkn packed.

This movie rocks. I think based on the awesomeness of the first movie, everyone will have high expectations for this one. You won't be disapointed. So much action. So much comedy. So much lizard walk from JD. Seriously, go see this movie now.

While not as blown away by its sheer coolness as I was by the first one, I think that in many ways this movie is a lot better. Some of the action scenes are so complicated, choreophraphing them would have been the biggest motherf***er in the world.

All the CGI was very impressive, nothing looked plastic or fake to me, just generally cool. It has improved upon how cool all the undead dudes looked in the first one. Very nice.

Acting was good all round plus Keira is smoking.

Sets up very nicely for the next movie and I can't wait.

9/10.
go go go

johnny depp is so hot

Going tonight bitchez!

isn't this a girl's movie?

gunna go see it at the drive inns tomorrow nite :)

Do they make her boobs look bigger in it?

I saw it last night for free.

^^ tight ass :P

The f***er was sold out. Boo!

I was at the same show as you reaload. Very impressed :D

gunna go see it at the drive inns tomorrow nite :)

Oh snap, I won't be taking the torry so you won't recognise us anyway :P St. Wagon drive-ins ftw.

lol hashy lol
anime is kewl

going to see this tommorow night, looks rad.

Hell yes, saw it gold class (had to be said) last night. Re-Watched the first on DVD on the weekend in preperation, and enjoyed the hell out of it, nothing dissapointed.

ps, stick around for the credits.

Yeah this movie kicked ass. Haven't seen a flick this good in ages. Also our 6.30 / 7.30 / 8.30 and finally the 9.00 session we went to see were also sold out. Worth the trek off your seat to go watch it fellas.

The pure awesomeness of this film proceeds itself. I havent heard one bad word spoken of it.

Hopefully will get to this one on Saturday night if we can get in. Fingers crossed!

Not trying to be the sound of dissent, but I didn't think that movie was that great. It was quite well done, special effects and the like, but the story was laclustre and obfuscated and introduced very little from the first one.

Cliffnotes - Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest == The Matrix: Reloaded.

Want me to start?

I found it disappointing that Johnny Depp's character was diluted to the point where his sole purpose in the movie seemed to be to provide comic relief. Granted he had his funny moments .. but there were many situations/comments that were so unfunny and sad that it was painful.

More cool lizard walking and less talking like a git would have been nice :/

I give it 6/10 over the original's 7.5/10.

i agree with n-dude and parabol.

I didn't think it was very good. It was still worth watching, but not up with the 1st one.

It was too long and drawn out, and the sword fights seemed to go forever - they became very tiresome.

The story seemed to be a bit all over the place, and the characters seemed to be able to hop from location to location and back again pretty much instantly...ie not very realistic seeing as they're meant to be sailing on a ship.

The whole plot wasnt well explained at all. I mean u could follow it, but it just seemed messy.

And the fact that it's only half a film - to be completed with the 3rd movie, sucked.

Pirates 2 = Matrix Reloaded, as stated above.

the characters seemed to be able to hop from location to location and back again pretty much instantly...ie not very realistic seeing as they're meant to be sailing on a ship.

there will be an extra 1000 hours added to the extended dvd edition.

It's hilarious that most recent movie threads' OPs refer to it as the second coming of christ but it turns out it really wasn't that fantastic after all

What a surprise, yet another movie / game that Hashy doesn't like.

I haven't seen it yet, my good chum. It really wasn't the point of my post, see if you can read deeper than potential bandwagon invitations.

Why would someone who is not interested in something create a thread about it?
"Hey theres a new potc movie coming out, never saw the first one, dislike Johnny Depp and probably wont see this one, so what do you guys think?"

Hashy is bitter cause he hasn't caught all the pokemons yet.

Is the action all close up or do the let you see what is actually happening?

The action is so physically unbelievable that you stop caring about what is happening.

This is an unexpected development!

Yes I have.

I'm glad someone said "Matrix" in the form of Mat_2...


I'll hold out till the next lan for this one... and the next :P


ta dudes

On the subject of "Matt"....


Eds the boss didn't log your call today;


log into the crm and update your shiznitz

Yeah no actually it did.
First one has story references to the second alot.

Movie was good.
Whoever said to stay the end of the credits is gay however.

saw it tonight... dissapointed. I really enjoyed the first one but this just didnt have the same charm. Im not really sure what it was that caused this though. The CG was very well done, the action sequences were impressive generally and there was some reasonable humor. However, somehow the end result just wasnt great. Depp didnt seem to be quite as entertaining this time around and the story really wasnt as tight as the first's.

It wasnt a bad movie by any means, it just didnt live up to the first. The matrix analogy is spot on. First film dazzles, 2nd two are good movies but not as much as the first.

i slept through the first 2 hours and hadn't seen the first one so was horribly confused/bored for about 50minutes

just got home from indro seeing it, wasnt a bad movie - but it wasnt as good as the first one.

the plot dragged on in my mind and didnt really conclude - and dont say sequel, even prequels are ment to come to some kind of conclusion.

7/10

Still waiting on the unwarrented and unmarked spoiler so this thread can be complete

johnny depp lives to tell the tail

Saw this last night at Germside and I agree with all the people saying negative things.

- Plot was all over the shop
- Seemingly main characters ended up being fillers for a quick joke
- Fight scenes were drawn out
- Matrix 2 ending = f***in suck.. If you can't fit the plot into 3hrs, go re-write the script (LOTR exception).
- Bringing back old cast members for the sake of people remembering who they were was pretty s***, get some new ones.
- Kiera didn't show nearly enough body shape and kept reminding me of her role in Bend it like Beckham
- Too little "Johnny" moments

Overall it rates lower than PotC 1.

- Matrix 2 ending = f***in suck.. If you can't fit the plot into 3hrs, go re-write the script (LOTR exception).

They filmed the 2nd and 3rd films back to back with the intention of releasing them in short succession.... so they did that on purpose. Deal.

Seemingly main characters ended up being fillers for a quick joke

I agree johnnies character could have been played with a card board cut out. He had about 15 lines in a 3 hr period.

Further Orlando Bloom is on going proof that there is no god.

The matrix analogy is spot on. First film dazzles, 2nd two are good movies but not as much as the first.

Matrix 2 and 3 were absolute pieces of horses*** on toast.
PotC 2 pisses on Matrix 2 & 3, actually even a Uwe Bolle Movie pisses on Matrix 2 & 3 which are possibly the worst movies ever created, ever.

- Plot was all over the shop

No it wasn't you're just retarded.

- Fight scenes were drawn out

The only long (and yeah drawn out) fight scene was the sword fight between Commodore, Jack and Will.

- Kiera didn't show nearly enough body shape and kept reminding me of her role in Bend it like Beckham

Riiiiight, she was still hot as and your comment just proves your others are on a gay bandwagon.

yeah i am a fan of the first and bought it on DVD, and was pretty excited about this one..

it was good, but not as great as the first one, like a lot of reasons listed here..however, I could not even compare it with the s*** that was matrix 2 and 3.


best movie of year still = V for Vendetta

V > Superman > POTC2 > X3

Only 2 Blockbusters left :D, Snakes on a plane and Casino Royale. I have high hopes for Casino Royale.

I predict Clerks II will be movie of the year

it was alright, the whole omg pirates kick ass feeling you get from watching the first film was absent in the 2nd, thus i was disapointed. but as far as action flicks featuring pirates, big squids and tribal people go its pretty good.

also, stfu loki.

also, stfu loki.

f*** you have issues man.
Ditch the emo nonsensical bs hate crap that you and only you out of everybody actually possesses and grow up.

Also, *Yawn*.

I WASNT INVITED TO NO LAN!

No it wasn't you're just retarded.

Wrong.. seriously the plot was f***ing crap. Someone needed something so X had to get this to save Y to save Z. So please show me where the plot was above something that hasn't been done to death already and isn't a repeat of the first movie with just a different bad guy.

Riiiiight, she was still hot as and your comment just proves your others are on a gay bandwagon.

Wrong.. the Kiera comment was only one of a number. Mad props for trying to say we're on a bandwagon instead of focusing on the movie being so little when it had the potential to be so much more.

I WASNT INVITED TO NO LAN!

Yeah I wasn't cause you supposedly still have some major emo problem.
I don't remember really caring either, indeed I sent a msg to rubba sayin "thanks for the invite" and that was it, I ended up doin other... stuff...

Grow up man, you are making yourself look like a total ass.

Wrong.. seriously the plot was f***ing crap. Someone needed something so X had to get this to save Y to save Z. So please show me where the plot was above something that hasn't been done to death already and isn't a repeat of the first movie with just a different bad guy.

Oh, yeah... No doubting that.
But the quote was "it was all over the shop" which it wasn't, the actual plot made sense, how they went about it wasn't confusing either but it was exactly as you put it.

For what it was though, it was a good movie - to quote Evis.
"If the first one didn't exist - would you think this one is a good movie?"

Enjoyed it for what it was; I liked Davey Jones character but I do agree Depp's character could have been more like the 1st ones :)

Aargh another movie spoiled!

Well I'm off to Gold Class on Monday, so I'll let you all know then if it's good or not.

I was going to be at the 3pm session at southbank, but the bitch was sold out :|

it made $55.5 million on the first day in US and may break spiderman's record opening weekend of $114.8 million.

Saw this today and god damn I'm so glad I saw this on the big screen! From start to finish I was totally into this movie, cast were fantastic, fight scenes legendary, CGI outstanding and Keira was a goddess!! Defiantly left me eagerly awaiting the third one. Not as good as the original (how many sequels ever truly are?) but a fine second edition to the POTC series.

Keira was so hot she deserves a second mention!!

Jim cameron's Aquaman already beat that anyway.

its broken spidermans record. pirates made $132 million on its opening weekened.

Saw it at southbank uber screen.
Loved it.
Went and watched the first film the next day.
Dare I say No.2 entertainment factor kicks ass over 1.

This movie was f***ING s***, and I found no real entertainment value, until i came home and watched the ninja's review...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBly9_mci90&feature=Views&page=1&t=t&f=b

first one would have been good but was too long

half put me off seeing the second one

also, cant wait for aquaman!

edit:
hehe, askaninja

The fight with the natives was rubbish, as was the way they avoided anyone except minor characters getting hurt much at all during the whole movie.

Oh, and bootstrap bill was a whiney old poofta, I guess it's supposed to run in the family.

last edited by icewyrm at 07:41:29 13/Jul/06

this movie sucked bigtime, couldn't believe how s*** it was

The height of Kiera hotness in the first one was on the island when she was drunk.

Come on... no-one would ever find out...

It was fun. Of course, I got to see it for free :D

So SPOILERS FORM HERE DOWN

What happened at the end after the credits? couldnt be assed waiting around for the credits to end.

o yeah fireblood that dog on the beach is made chief, and that's it

haha thats funny!

^ no actually it really wasn't after waiting 10-15minutes for the end of the credits on scuzzy's advice who will be lynched and robbed on next sighting.

Friend and myself were the only two people left in the whole cinema waiting for the credits to finish, when they did, we were happily suprised.

If you watch after the credits of the first movie, there is another short skit, which explains the monkey in the second movie.

This was without a doubt the most disappointing sequel I have EVER SEEN. I went to see it with two 14 year olds - basically the target demographic - and they were both hugely nonplussed by it as well.

f*** this movie, and f*** everyone that helped make it the box office success that it turned out to be, because now we get to look forward to even more s*** sequels with no plot as more and more brands are raped by Hollywood

its based on a ride at disneyland trog, what more can we say

haha

also, hahahaha @ Ask a Ninja link in twat's post. Hilarious AND true - it would be better with ninjas.

14 year olds EH

I the movie could have been much better if it closed up some of the plot lines that it opened.

It is really anoying that various plot lines where opened up and not one of them was finished off. It didnt feel like a complete movie, because it wasnt.

SPOILER:




William Turner SO better turn evil next movie. The whole Davey Jones legand is a Love tale, Davey lost his love so he went nuts. The 2nd movie is implying that William has lost his love to Cap'n Jack, so it seems fitting that William takes over were Davey will surly leave off..

SPOILER:

But Jack is clearly dead!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER SPOILER:

He's probably not REALLY dead, I think they'll bring him back to life for the next movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one

William has lost his love to Cap'n Jack, so it seems fitting that William takes over were Davey will surly leave off..

But William didn't lose his love to Jack?

f*** this movie, and f*** everyone that helped make it the box office success that it turned out to be, because now we get to look forward to even more s*** sequels with no plot as more and more brands are raped by Hollywood

Got emo? So you didn't enjoy the movie, I'm sure that means it sucks. right?

(Spoilers, though how this movie could be made worse I don't possibly know)

How does it not suck?! The plot wandered all over the place. The character development was confusing at best and utterly uninteresting at worst. Keira went from helplessly in love with Orlando to somehow mysteriously being attracted to Jack - or was she?!

There was not one, but two giant running ball/wheel scenes?!!?

The deadly Kraken that Jack is so afeared of can't tell the difference between Jack's hat, and Jack. Does that make it more scary, or stupid? If it's really smart, how come it couldn't tell that Orlando was floating on the water twenty yards from it after it sunk the boat he was on BECAUSE OF HIM?

The ending was a relief, though I had to say I experienced SERIOUS PANIC when Geoffry Rush appeared, because I thought it might launch into a whole new half hour long adventure where they went back in time and saved Depp or something. Instead it was teeing the game up for yet another iteration of toys, video games, and raping people at the box office with $15 tickets.

Keira went from helplessly in love with Orlando to somehow mysteriously being attracted to Jack - or was she?!

You must have blinked there Trog when she was making out with him and backed him into the mast so she could chain him to it. Distraction is what it was about, give Jack what he wanted so she could do what she needed to do.

Haha man, on the simpsons when homer becomes the voice of the dog in itchy and scratchy. You are the guy at the fan day going "In episode 317 [insert goof here]"

You must have blinked there Trog when she was making out with him and backed him into the mast so she could chain him to it.

No, I saw that. Why was she so torn up about it? Why was there that whole scene with her and her ex guy where he said she was falling for him?!

It almost doesn't even matter whether she likes him or not, because now Orlando thinks she does, and that is obviously going to set the scene for their relationship at the start of the third movie.

Maybe she was upset because she had to sacrifice Jack to save everyone else?

yeah the whole broken compass thing pointing at each other and her being in denial about it was all part of the deception to get him tied up to the mast

right aaawn buddy

I'd like Keira to handle MY mast, if you know what I mean

So people can't be inlove with someone yet be attracted to someone else?

So people can't be inlove with someone yet be attracted to someone else?

Someone being in love with orlando bloom is a bit of a strech for my imagination.

Stating the bleeding moronic clearly uncontestable truth hasn't been done so badly since lawrence fishbourne last jacked in to the matrix.

tanakakhan your attempts to defend the stupidity of this movie while valiant, suck

orlando would be touched IF you know what I mean

tanakakhan your attempts to defend the stupidity of this movie while valiant, suck

Ok, my argument here lost, But I fully enjoyed the movie and I'll wager that every person here who didn't like it will still go and see the third one, if only for closure to all the plot lines.

it's cool you enjoyed it
I dunno if I'll see another one in the series, it'll probably depend on what else is on at the time

The third one stars Chow Yun Fat and has an oriental flavor to it, so I'm looking forward to it. :)

Have you seen the Google Earth marketing they are doing with this movie? Pretty neato I thought :P

heres a little video I made of it (its right at the end...)

I had some fun watching the film. It was clearly made to sell action figures rather then tell a good story though.

The third one stars Chow Yun Fat and has an oriental flavor to it, so I'm looking forward to it. :)

Good - if there's anything this movie needs, its more characters.

I haven't seen the second one yet but people were saying johnny dep's character needed to be more like the first. My question is in what way? wasn't he acting weird/drunk/seedy enough in the second or was he just complete serious holleywood hero type of character?

saw it a couple of days ago. it would've been really good except for the over the top action scenes.

What is with a sequal not being a sequal but half a movie?

Finish the f***ing thing.. grrrrrr

pirates 2 and 3 is intended to be a back to back film.. so the third one is expected out next year

Saw it on DVD last weekend. I must say, like the Matrix, the sequal sucks compare to the original.

nice job reviving an old thread ya fkn noob.

Yeah, the sequel was s*** I reckon. And that whole beginning bit was a complete waste of time and had nothing to do with anything except to fill in 30 minutes. Thinking back on it, there was bugger all to the movie and certainly no where as entertaining as the original was. If you wanna see something fun, watch Crank. Awesome flick!
