I just watched the BEST sequel this side of the Caribbean. I was quite impressed. There were certain scenes I would have done without just for time and pacing's sake, but other than that it was fantastic. Yes there were certain things I missed, like getting to know Jack Sparrow. We've already met him, and let's face it his entrance in the first movie can never and will never be topped. But they did a great job in bringing him into the second one. Johnny Depp, you will never cease to amaze me. LOL
I'm trying not to give away anything but it is so hard! It is extremely dark compared to the first one, and I'm not sure if I'd recommend my brother going to it, especially after he brought up a 100lbs octapus during their last fishing outing, but it's just so great. The music was, again, fanTASTIC. I loved it. I was dancing in my seat. I so wish I were a percussionist. That would be an awesome round to play.
Anyway, there were a few surprises, but overall, it was a decent film. I love that Orlando Bloom brings an honest character into hero-dom. Will Turner will never be turned.
He may come close, but still. I really do love that character. As much as Jack Sparrow is celebrated, I think Will should get some props as well. He always gets a bad rap with teh fans and with Jack for being a wimp, but it takes so much more courage to be a Will Turner than it does to be a Jack Sparrow. *off my morallity soapbox*
I think they may have gone over the top with the "bad guys" in this film, but still... it was a great film. Worthy of being a pirates movie.
but if they add any of this to the ride I'm going to go kick some sense back into the bigwigs at Disney. lol
