POTC slightly over rated?

yup

its an amazing movie and im sure any obsesser such as myself will be able to persuade you if you talked to any one of us for the right amount of time!!

i shall assist all who need reconing!

Like moi...😉 I need to be obsessed...I have too many obsessions, but who cares? 😄

obsessions are healthy, everyone has one and if they don't display it, they're un-healthy!!!

Very true✅

I agree with the person who made this thread. The only reason that POTC was successful was because it re-introduced the 'epic' genre to the screen; something that had been absent since the 50's.

Since n00b children of nowday never even knew it existed beforehand, they suddenly think it's the best thing since sliced bread. But I'm not complaining. I enjoyed it. I just think it was successful mainly because of stupid kids thinking 'Johnny is hot, therefore we must see it'. Pathetic.

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?

Its a movie that nobody would expect 2 do well but the actors work well together....the characters are unforgettable...the film is very funny, the stunts and CGI used was extraordinary and it's a movie franchise like nothing else out now'a days 😄

ok first of all, you ^^^who said that are only like 19 or something, so you're not really an adult yet (move out or 22 years old under my standards).
secondly: i don't think johnny was hot in that movie. He just looked better than he did in any of his other freaky movies, no offense.
and third: if you say it's pathetic that stupid "kids" think johnny depp is hot(adults do too), then you are complaining.
and to get back on topic, it was a good movie but not the best ever, and maybe they should make a forum just for movie bashing, since there seems to be some movie-bashers in this forum.

It IS one of the best movies I've seen...yet...not. I don't know how exactly to explain it...the movie by all rights SHOULD have been very boring. But Johnny Depp MADE it intresting and made you want to keep watching it.

that's a great way of explaining it. like if johnny depp wasn't in it, it wouldn't have had that comical effect.
BRILLIANT!! 😱

Even if it is overrated its still going to be a well liked movie.

POTC 1 and 2 are both great movies, and I agree, even if it was overrated (which it is not) it would still be well liked........and the 3rd movie will be nothing less than great, just like the first two movies.
