candylandWell, I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest last night. Little Sister was lovely enough to escort the entire family for free, as she works at the movie theatre and can do such things.
Oh. My. GOD!
First of all, Johnny Depp is as brilliant as ever. To use my mom's phrase, "The man is eye-candy." My response was, "Eye-candy with talent!" AND RAGETTI AND PINTEL WERE THERE, TOO!! They're like the Abbott and Costello of the Pirate-verse.
...kind of strange, but I think my two favorite scenes involved things rolling down hills *laugh* There was the one on that island with the cages (oh, Jack...), and the one with the watermill wheel! That was so cool, I actually started applauding (though I did notice something blooper-ish--when Jack jumps into the wheel, he brains himself on that metal bar, but then later on he's back inside the wheel, and there is no metal bar to brain himself on. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?)
Special effects ROCKED OUT LOUD. The monsters were as cool looking as ever--the Kraken, anyone? The Flying Dutchman jumping out of the water was so cool! I don't know if Davy Jones was as cool a villain as Barbossa--he was just an awesome character and an awesome bad guy. But Davy Jones was still rather interesting...as was the witch-lady whose name escapes me.
I have to agree with many in that the ending should have just had a big sign that said "To be continued in Pirates of the Caribbean III: If we don't get a REALLY good ending fight sequence, we'll hunt down the filmmakers." But did anyone else think that the last line (and the person who spoke it!!) was friggin' awesome? My Dad and I actually started cheering out loud--and I don't think we were the only ones, either. I won't tell, 'cause I don't want to spoil that uber-excellent moment for anyone else ♥
All in all...I WANT THE THIRD MOVIE NOW!! EVIL DEMANDS RESOLUTION!!
Oh, and I just have to add one more thing...my favorite line:
Jack Sparrow: *sing-songing* I've got a jar of dirt, I've got a jar of dirt... *falls down the stairs*
Oh. My. GOD!

...backwards logic ftw!

Date: 2006-07-12 08:14 pm (UTC)I am evil, and I demand resolution. Ergo, EVIL DEMANDS RESOLUTION! ...AND POSSIBLY A MAKE-OUT SCENE!!
It's a good movie. I think the third movie is going to rule on every level.
