POTC slightly over rated?
i saw the film and i enjoyed it but i was surprised that it had its own forum and someone even listed it as the greatest film of all time in a different forum.
its a good summer blockbuster but explain to me why its so great.
i dont think its a particular new concept - surely its just an update of an old style. is this why people like it - in the same way Gladiator or the mummy is popular because its an update of an old genre?
I think i liked it because it wasnt the same as most action movies where you could guess the plot line and know what was gonna happen. I actually didnt know what side Jack was on until the end. Also, it had comedy mixed really well with the action and that made me enjoy it too. I wouldnt call it the best movie ever, but it definatley is one of my top 5.
Personally i dont think its that overrated but i can see what you mean. It was just a fun film and how often do "sprawling pirate movies" get made?
I think it had a good blend of comedy, romance and action and Johnny Depp certainly brought an ambience to the film. Worthy of an Oscar nomination though?- Nah!
I dont think it was the greatest movie ever but it's one of my favourites. It helps that there's quite abitof eye-candy though! (so shallow!)

Woah... woah... woah! People, people, settle down!
OK well I think that this movie is THE best!
here are my reasons:
1. This movie wasn't a normal type of action movie, it wasn't like a war or matrix movie, It was an old type, pirate type, new type of action movie, and I think it was a little too good!
2. When was your last pirate movie you saw? Was it as good as POTC? I doubt it! ya know why? Because there were none, exept for those really old black and whit movies! Trust me. Pirates movies are very expensive. Trust me people these days are so cheap! Exept for POTC of course!
3. It was an adventure of your life time! The ride POTC in Disney was nothing compared to this great movie! Action, comedy, adventure! What's better than that?
4. The effects of the movie were great! It felt like you were in the movie, exitment, confusion, journey! It's like everyones life!
5. Great actors! Johnny Depps best role! Orlando and Kiera were great! And it was really fun watching them act! Every move, evry word they made or said made everything so real! The Movie was so real!
I LOVE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN! I think that it sould win the oscars! Johnny Depp should win the award for best actor, because every other actor playes the same, naturally! But Johnny played a diffrent way! And only he can play it!
I'm auditioning for the sequal, I hope I get a role, I wish I could!
............and yes. I am obbsesed.
I think POTC is pretty overrated. It was a fun watch, but the second time I saw it, I was bored. Depp performence was great. Blooms on the other hand, not so much. The action is so-so. And its good because its an expensive film to make?? Ok. ❌ . I thought Master and Commander was alot better ( i know not really same movie plot) but the ships in that movie we real, and no CGI can do that.
Just because it fits in a genre of film that hasnt been done in a while, does not make better or worst. And as for sequels, im getting sick of this, there's no continuing story. It just going to be the same movie. but with better special effects.
Its not bad, but not even close to being the best.
Honestly I enjoyed the movie a lot, and have it on video now, but I'm ready and willing to admit it is a bit...cheesey, I guess. I mean, the storyline is not fantastic, it's fun, but it is kind of...filmsy. But I can't help it, I love Jack Sparrow. I really thought Depp's character carried the movie, because it was a really hilarious character. Is it enough to do the same for the sequels? Maybe not so much. The story is filmsy and cheesey, but Jack Sparrow is wonderful, and honestly, that movie makes you want to be a pirate. And I think that any movie that can make you want to become the character qualifies as a really excellent movie.
Yah Depp was great, but i hate Blooms character. It was so cliched. " Because I love her"...Give me a break. But for a sequel, Instead of Jack getting the ship back and about cursed gold its. But instead, its about a ship that got sunk, and probalby mystic powers, ..and theres probalby going to be two parties going after it, One Jack Sparrow and Two.. a bad guy
I could be wrong...but i can see it happening.
