Jack Sparrow > Superman!

[Zombie]

I have been waiting for the new Pirates movie for a year now, I can't wait to see it. I have not one desire to see Superman but come this Saturday, I will be watching Pirates of the Carribean! :smokin

[Silver21_Black20]

I can't wait to see Pirates either. I'll be at the movies this weekend with my niece.

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

I can't wait for the new Pirates movie....it's gonna be awesome.

[CuckingFunt]

I'm looking forward to it, but trying not to get too excited. I think about 90% of me liking the first one so much was because I expected it to suck majorly.

oh, it didn't? :depressed

[CuckingFunt]

oh, it didn't? :depressed
I didn't think so. Didn't try too hard to be anything more than fun, and it succeeded.

Still think it's a crime that Captain Jack Sparrow stands as Johnny Depp's only Oscar nomination, but the performance was solid.

[Zombie]

why don't you go see superman just to see it? you are afraid you will like it......wimp.
Superman Died!
Christopher Reeve was my SUperman. I have heard that this new kid tries way to hard to act like mr. reeve. :rolleyes

[Zombie]

[Zombie]

my father thinks like you. he hated reeve because he was a wimp......in the tv series in the 50's clark kent was a tough talker and wasn't wimpish at all......though the wimpiness is closer to the comics......zombie go see it, it will not dissappoint you. once you see that big fat S on the movie screen you will be a fan again....it was fantastic.
I'll wait for it to come out on HBO or starz.

[TheTruth]

we need to get these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane

[Spurminator]

And there is a movie about what? Shoot the god damn snakes.

How you gonna shoot muthafuckin snakes on a muthafuckin plane muthafucka?

[ShoogarBear]

Shoot the snakes?

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Damn, you would be the know-it-all on the plane who dies early.

[Marklar MM]

Don't pick up the big fat snake...it might just eat you. Go after the itty bitty snakes.(Preferrably with no fangs.)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm looking forward to it, but trying not to get too excited. I think about 90% of me liking the first one so much was because I expected it to suck majorly.


I totally agree. Also, you have to hand it to Depp, he plays a bad ass part. I dont really like him but I appreciated how well he played that character.

[CuckingFunt]

And there is a movie about what? Shoot the god damn snakes.
Actually, there is a movie about Samuel L. Jackson being a bad mother fucker whilst shooting the mutha fuckin' snakes on a mutha fuckin' plane!

[E20]

Throw the snakes out the plan. Shoot 'em, Gas 'em, Tie them in a knot, but whatever they do they shouldn't panic, because I find it funny that snakes invade a commerical plane, I mean come on they don't have arms or legs, just step on the motherfuckers.

[ShoogarBear]

You see, not only is this movie going to be entertaining, it will also be educational.

[leemajors]

i don't see how anyone could not see the genius that lies behind snakes on a plane. might be the best movie of the young century.

EW review: 'Pirates' a Bermuda Triangle of bad

Arrrgh! Sequel a wild ride that leads nowhere

(Entertainment Weekly) -- I was wrong to be so harsh on "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" when it steamed into port three years ago.

The original is a thing of balletic grace, theatrical richness of character, and self-effacing economy of action when compared with the shapeless, weightless, endless "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." The sequel is a version 2.0 that, in its final minutes, portends a future 3.0 of such necessarily staggering, ostentatious extravagance as to bankrupt all but the most iron-walleted of Hollywood producers.

Yes indeed, "Pirates" 2.0 is a theme ride, if by ride you mean a hellish contraption into which a ticket holder is strapped, overstimulated but unsatisfied, and unable to disengage until the operator releases the restraining harness.

The barely intelligible plot hardly matters, except insofar as young sweethearts Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are once again thwarted from, as they say in classic pirate movies, getting it on. This time what stands between the two photogenic romantic leads is bluster from a new villainous British prig-in-a-wig, some twitty adult who demands that Will do some impossible thing or another to earn his freedom.

Meanwhile, Jack (the louche weirdness now ratcheted up by the one-of-a-kind Mr. Depp so that jumpin' Jack is an exotic "Cage aux Folles" bird of even fancier lip twitches, wrist curls, and rouged feathers) owes a debt to the underworldly lord of the waterlogged, Davy Jones (Bill Nighy). And Jones commands a ship of dead fools disfigured with pulsating, curling, slimy goiters and squid-like protuberances.

This army of the deep suggests the very picture of ick by teen standards, conjured through the very fanciest of special effects; the clattering skeletons of the original "Pirates" look positively minimalist by comparison.

Anyway, as Jack, Will, and Elizabeth work cooperatively, the makers of "Dead Man's Chest" hurl obstacles in the trio's way with the tenacity -- and undifferentiated agitation -- of shipboard monkeys. Clash after calamity after jokey mishap ensues, with time enough for many of the original secondary players to cash their own paychecks.

But this is where the cheat between sensation and satisfaction comes in, a substitution only likely to become more commonplace as the "Pirates" franchise becomes the very model of modern studio brand extension.

Without character, where's the consequence? Without consequence, where's the joy? Without an artistic stake in eliciting joy (or sadness, or concern, or something other than a glazed giggle at Depp's finery), there's nothing to keep producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski, and their screenwriting galleymates from piling on another big false ending, and another, and another, "Caribbean" without end, until a pummeled audience begs for a toilet break and, for mercy's sake, a real conclusion.

Discounting adrenaline rush, fright, nausea, and relief as evidence of dramatic effect, there are no consequences in a theme-park ride: You get on, you get jiggled, you get off. Maybe you even ask for another go-round, because it feels so good when the jiggling stops.

The difference is, a ride runs a few minutes, while "Dead Man's Chest" cranks for what feels like an infernal eternity.

EW Grade: D+

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

D+ !!! WTF!!! No way it can be that bad. I'll just have to see it for myself.

[averageusaconsumer]

I'll just have to see it for myself.


Me too!

[MissAllThat]

I'll see it sooner or later. Same goes for Superman, although with that one, probably later.

[Marklar MM]

That is fine...I tend to like movies that are rated badly.

[ShoogarBear]

Of course, the reviewer admits he didn't like the first one either, so you have to take his calibration into account.
