> Thank you God, that there isn't as much QUotable Jack Sparrow this time through. THat's what drove me insane about the first one. Everyone in the WORLD was going around quoting Jack Sparrow, and I wanted to kill them all.
Yes, I share your thoughts there. if I'd have heard that "the day you ALMOST caught Captain Jack Sparrow" line from anyone else back when it first came out, I would have strangled them. But I think "Oh Bugger" will be heard in many a public place for awhile, so make sure you don't have any sharp objects on your person when you go out.
> The camera work is pretty cool. There's a scene where a three way swordfight is going on, and it's taking place on a waterwheel that's rolling through a forest. All three combatants at one point end up INSIDE the water wheel, and the camera turns with them. It was the coolest thing I think I've ever seen in a movie. Yes, I'm that lame.
Nah. Not lame. That was the coolest movie thing I've seen in awhile. I was the only one in the theater who could follow the action inside the wheel with precision. I have eleven straight hours of Super Smash Bros. Melee to thank for that. Go, Link!
***ERHM SPOILER ALERT OMIGOSH SOUND THE ALARUM***
All things considered, in this movie, and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think anything major actually happened in the storyline. There was no plot. All you have to remember going into the third movie is, Jack has been eaten by a Kraken, and somehow they all have to save him. Or not. Maybe they ran out of money, so they couldn't have Johnny Depp anymore. Man, that would make the third movie somewhat of a crap fest.
Anyway, plot or no, it was one of the best movies I've seen this summer.
I do think that... other... captain guy... from the last movie... I forgot his name, don't bother telling me later, I'll already have looked it up. But anyway, that captain dude who walked in at the last five seconds of the movie made me happy. I wanted to see him come back, but...
HE DIED. COME ON. He got SHOT in the HEART. With a GUN. By JOHNNY DEPP. At the PEAK of the storyline in the last movie. AFTER the CURSE had been BROKEN. By ORLANDO BLOOM. If you get killed by major celebrities, chances are you are not coming back in the sequel.
Makes you yearn for the three-quel. I mean, when they showed that captain dude from a low angle, you got that "Gosh, he's gonna kill some serious bad guys and raise hell in the next movie" feeling.
