I might catch it tonight. I didn't care for the first one at all but I guess I'll give it another shot.

Those numbers are amazing.

As much as I liked the first movie, I have clearly underestimated the appeal of the Pirates franchise. It's going to blow every other summer movie out of the water

Awesome numbers.

 

It shouldn't really suprise anyone, few movies appeal to a wider range of people then this.

Has anyone else seen it yet? I really can't wait.

Just got back from seeing it and I thought it was tremendous...great action, comedy and it made up for the fact that it seemed too long with a lot of action.

 

I hadn't seen the first one either and I went to blockbuster right after and they had no copies of it anywhere.

i thought the movie was awesome...in my opinion i kinda like the first one more but this has like a deeper meaning to it.

i didnt really get it until after the movie (and a little help from my cousin) but yah its really good. cant wait for #3

What do you mean, you didn't get it?

If you didn't see the 1st, there are definitely some things you missed out on and might not have understood. Regardless, if you liked this even without a backstory, you are going to LOVE it after watching the 1st.

 

That man at the very very end of the movie was involved in the 1st movie (if you didn't get that already)

 

I finally saw it. I loved it! I kinda liked the first one more, but I agree that this one had a more deeper meaning to it and I like that. I was laughing my ass off in certain parts.

 

 

When we saw Will Turner find his father, I was like, "Holy sh..." Awesome.

 

 

I can't wait for the next one. I am dying to see it now!!

This movie was deep? Unless you guys are talking about the depth of the sea, I just didn't see much depth in this at all. Still a really fun popcorn movie.

It made an estimated 132 million over the weekend. Crushing the old record set by Spider-Man by over 18 million!

I can attest to the huge crowds--I went to see it Friday night and when I got there at 8, the only tickets left were for 11:00, a showing which got delayed for about 15 minutes because they had to open up more theatres to accomodate the crowd. Really good movie, though--I can't wait for the next one.

It wasn't deep really, but in relation to the first POTC, it was, so I guess I could see where everyones coming from. The second one had a little more character depth and development, specifically with Jack Sparrow and his fighting the coward within himself and Elizabeth screwing Jack over despite her obvious liking to him.

 

It's really not deep at all though, just a lot of fun.

Did anyone stay for the treat after the credits?

Well the depth that some of you mention is a direct result of character development. Since we already know who the main characters are, they are able to tell a more 'in depth' story. As opposed to the first movie, where they were still introducing the characters and had to focus on that most of the time.

 

If that makes any sense.

What was it?

No what was it????

 

Remember the dog with the keys? Remember he was chased by the cannibals? At the end credits, they show him sitting on the throne, with a big bone in his mouth, being worshipped by the canibbals.

 

 

It's on YouTube. Type "dead mans chest end credits" in search.

 

It's not a big deal, but still cool.

I liked it alot, even though for the most part, it was completely ridiculous (that island scene after they get the chest). Johnny Depp wasn't as funny this time around, as his character almost seemed more based on gags (with the natives and whatnot).

 

I have to say, my two favorite characters in this movie were the fat guy and skinny guy with the glass eye.

I really really liked it.

 

I wish it were 500 years ago, I would so easily be a pirate.

My review:

 

 

 

I have to say that the first movie was a welcome surprise, considering there wasn't exactly much to go on from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride itself.

 

There were plenty of positives in this movie, particularly the performances of Johnny Depp and the actor that played Norrington. The newer character of Lord Becket was also interesting, although he had very little screentime after the beginning. The film hinted at the East India Trading Company, which was an extremely powerful British company that will apparently have more importance in the 3rd film.

 

The graphics used to make the crewmen of the Flying Dutchman look crazy was very well done, as was the graphics used during the Kraken's attack sequences. The appearance of Captain Barbossa (the villain of the first film) was a good way to end the movie.

 

I had a few gripes with the film as well:

 

-I was completely lost during the dice scene, except for the fact that Will finds out where the key is.

-How was the Kraken able to keep regrowing its tentacles? I didn't get that.

-Besides the comedy of the cannibal island part, they should have removed that to make the movie a little shorter.

-The scenes with the fortune teller were stretched out too long.

 

 

Great soundtrack too....wish i knew what the main song was.....obviously there were no words but i've been humming it all day.

Oh, I've had it in my head all day.

found out the song was called The Black Pearl......

Saw it yesterday and thought it was worth the price of admission. Not the best movie I've seen in recent years but still worth seeing, especially if you enjoyed #1.

132 million for the weekend.

 

Easily breaking Spider-Man's 118 million opening.

 

It was on 1,000 more screens but still sold more admissions then Spider-Man did.
