so after the surprise success of the
first film at how it seemed to keep
getting more and more money Disney
decided to do the Lord of the Rings
route and film it's two sequels
back-to-back and then another one
pointlessly followed to the consensus
seems to be that the first sequel is
great
the second sequel is awful and the third
sequel is wait there's a third one
did I just see that boy was that
forgettable I think I'm one of the few
people that has saw the same outlook on
all of them which is a all of them have
some really good action and some fun
adventure but all of them also have a
lot of pointless padding are really
drawn out and have some incredibly
confusing and also annoying moments in
Dead Man's Chest we continue the
adventures of Jack Sparrow as he goes up
against Davy Jones which is a really
great design but they also bring back
orlando bloom and keira knightley what's
the point their story ended in the first
one we didn't need them back and on top
of that they give them a lot of screen
time and a lot of backstory and nobody
cares
they were great at leveling out the more
serious and mellow moments in the first
one but that was it they did their job
they didn't need to be brought back and
a lot about their story doesn't add up
for example Orlando Bloom meets his
father and yet in the first film that
keeps saying how much they look alike in
fact they keep confusing the two for
each other this is say an image about
bootstrap film how much worse but look
at these two do they look remotely alike
would you confuse this guy for Orlando
Bloom at any moment giant Depp is still
fun as Jack Sparrow but he's really
overused
for example there's this one scene where
they had to save them from all these
natives they're trying to eat them why
there's no reason for it it doesn't
connect to the story and it goes on for
like 20 minutes could you cut that the
ending is also based on a cliffhanger
where they have to go save Jack Sparrow
which takes up even more time in the
next film again it's totally pointless
and even then that doesn't quite match
up at the end of this film they say they
challenge death and go to the ends of
the world to try and get him back but
then the next film they say they didn't
really want to back it was just for some
sort of big odds the pirates song is
sung or some crap like that it's so
inconsistent I feel like they really
wanted to rip off star wars here like
the stuff with the natives was or like
the Jabba the Hutt scene that went on
too long
that the little cliffhanger where they
had to save one the main heroes in
between movies as like Empire Strikes
Back but hey even in Star Wars a lot of
people said that Java C went on way too
long and was kind of pointless and there
was a lot more character and drama that
was riding in the Star Wars films than
there is in the pirates film but God
knows they try to shove this stuff in
Orlando Bloom has a lot of drama
dedicated to him Keira Knightley has a
lot of drama dedicated to her even that
guy that was chasing them in the first
one he's back and he partakes in this
really big complicated story and
speaking of which they are really
complicated there's like a ton of things
going on in these films I couldn't
follow it and I didn't care all I wanted
to see was some sword-fighting some good
action in some comedy isn't that what we
got with the first one isn't that what
we should expect from something called
Pirates of the Caribbean well in Dead
Man's Chest we did get a lot of that one
it stopped trying to show some a damn
plot points in our faces the characters
still get some funny lines there's a lot
of good slapstick there's a wonderfully
choreographed fight scene involving a
watermill wheel but if this film was
already kind of complicated the third
one gets really complicated shuffling in
at almost three hours with so many plot
threads so many characters not needed
and it being so needlessly dark and
confusing and weird and just not that
much fun again when the comedy is there
and the sword fighting and all that good
stuff it's fine but I just don't get
this idea of trying to turn it into this
big grand epic I mean sweet Jesus the
film opens with a little boy being
hanged yeah sorry Disney you lost me at
hanging little boy guys it's Pirates of
the [ __ ] Caribbean not Schindler's
List but like I said before there are a
lot of really fun scenes the climax is
really great there's still some good
comedy but you gotta sit through a lot
of boring complicated needlessly gritty
[ __ ] to get to it and a lot of people
just didn't think it was worth it
personally I think it's just a little
more annoying than the second one which
didn't knock my socks off all the time
either on Stranger Tides finally got rid
of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley and
decided just to focus on Johnny Depp so
everyone thought it would be better but
again there's so much focus on this
needlessly complicated plot he's looking
are the found of you that should be easy
right no they have to get like a diamond
from this glass and put it in there but
you have to get the water dripping from
a certain side and one gives you eternal
life one takes it away from you and then
there's also this kind of love and trust
that poses as Jack Sparrow I thought ok
wait a minute she poses as Jack Sparrow
come on movie even we can't buy that
this is like the Pirates of the
Caribbean we thought we were gonna see
with the first film not thinking at all
what it's talking about
I actually think Noah's brother Miles
said of best when he just asked can't
Jack Sparrow just go looking for some
treasure that's all we really want to
see and he's right the story in the
first one was very simple just pirates
trying to lift a curse with the second
third and fourth it's so all over the
place I forget exactly what the stories
are so it's a real mixed bag I can't
think of any sequel that was good all
the way through from beginning to end
but I can't think of one that gave me
nothing to enjoy either all of them did
have funny moments and all of them did
have some really cool action from time
to time but when they try to get really
heavy and really grand and really
serious man they don't know how to do it
and they shouldn't have to do it don't
try to tell Laura the Rings just tell us
Pirates of the Caribbean that's what we
liked with the first flick so if you're
patient enough and willing to sit
through a lot of complicated story to
get to the fun stuff you'll definitely
get your moments but if you're looking
for something more complete well flowing
and better put together then a pirate's
life this ain't
