POTC 2 Discussion thread... SPOILERS

🙂 Gosh i love my job. i get paid to sit around doing nothing, so i can chat about my obsessive tendencies for adventure films.
I'm sorry. i love this film. i find it delightfully ironic that about half the movie didn't HAVE to be in there for the story, but it was soooooo fun anyways. you get to see more sparrow that way. in my world, not everything has to have an ultimate point. its a movie. just have fun with it.
I was inspired to chart out my hottest moments list.

1. jack and liz's intense kiss. and then jack calling her a pirate with that look on his face... that won out for my favorite all time bit of acting- depp at his best in that moment.
2. one word: CURIOSITY.
3. Jack attacking the kraken "hello beastie..." most herioc, dashing thing ever.
4. right before will gets lashed. okay sorry, i am not a sadist or anything, but the intensity of this moment is just heart-stopping.
5. the brawl at tortuga. i laughed so hard, gee, harder than ever maybe.
6. when the three guys are fighting. three gorgeous men, swordfights, good music? yes please.

hmm thats all i can think of for now- because the whole movie was hott. a few comments: Kiera is gorgeous and her acting has grown, but her hair looked awful in this film. lol. or maybe it just looked better in the first one. and she is totally popping out of her dress in the first few scenes. orlanda has beefed up, lets credit "Kingdom of Heaven" for that one. If Depp were any sexier he might explode. You know what else i loved? How gritty it was in this sense- all the pirates teeth were rotting! i know they did that in the 1st but i noticed it more in this one. made me want to brush and floss. wow this is like a reprise of my last post. hehehe.

did they borrow the morder set for the jack's entrance or what?!

So here's my question. can we somehow get Han Solo and Jack Sparrow into a movie together?

Here's another question: How seriously are you all taking the numerous foreshadows in this film???

by the way, what happened to that annoying lady sailor from the 1st film? im glad she's outa there.

let's just smile and think about the phrase "i happen to have no dress in my cabin."

arrrgghhhh. This movie was soooooooo NOT GOOD!!! It didnt have the flavor and feel as the first one! It was toooooooo cheesy at times especially when all 3 guys (Jack, Will, and the dude that got the heart) were running and fighting like idiots!

if you have NOTHING nice to say about the movie, don't say it at all.
at least other people had good AND bad points.

that hurt babe 🙁

life sux, deal with it 😎

I really enjoyed the 1st movie, it was a fun summer flic that was mindless but entertaining.

However, I found pirates 2 to be 2.5 hrs of boredom that was slow moving and generally stupid. I did enjoy the 3 way sword fight but I thought davy jones and his crew of sea monsters were very dumb and childish. On a good note the special effects were good but the plot was bad and I just wanted to leave the theatre but I didnt cause I paid $10 to get in.

really? my ticket was only $8.
and see what i'm talking about in the above entry? good AND bad criticism....it's appreciated 😄

walks out in shame 🙁 ❌

Well yeah but if she didn't find that much good about it then you don't have to talk about it. We can discuss anything we want. We're mostly talking about good stuff aren't we (well of course haha). But I know what you mean.. there was no need to say the monkeypoop bit or anything.

My ticket cost £5.. don't know how much that is in dollars. And that's the student ticket. Adult tickets are £6. £5 is still really expensive though 🙁 It only used to be £4.50 on peak times 🙁

Ours were on $8 dollars too hehe

Even though this movie isn't a great movie, it's the only one this year that's gotten me to come back to these forums (last time I posted here was when Spidey 2 came out). Since then movies have been bland and not worth talking about. Yes, POTC was disorganized, long, dull in some parts, but surprisingly the most entertaining movie I've seen this year. They really did add an interesting twist -- the Liz and Jack bit. Even my friend who hasn't seen it won't believe me when I suggest there's some love interest between the two (she was like "NO, they wouldn't go there." haha.. but I'm glad they did go there because johnny and keira have A LOT of chemistry, and it might have to do with how keira looks a whole lot like johnny's ex-fiance, winona ryder. Anyway, i definitely think liz has feelings for jack, succumbed to her dark desires, and disguised it under her act of trickery, pbb as a way to tell herself she's not really in love with jack but that she's doing it for the safety of the others. Anyone agree with me on that?

i agree Kiera and Wynona look alike. A LOT alike. when i was younger and i saw edward scissorhands, that was the first time i'd seen wynona. then pirates came out and i got confused because i thought kiera was wynona and i was thinking "shouldn't she be old?". but then i watched edward scissorhands again and saw that they only have have the same face.
i think this movie was the most exciting all year because all they're doing with movies now is remaking old ones and the new ideas are really ripoffs from other movies. almost every movie this year has had the same plot. so Pirates to the Rescue!! 😄

I was also a bit disappointed in the 2nd movie, Mainly because it did not do the first movie justice. And Johnny could have done wayyy better then that as Jack. I was expecting much more from him especially because I did not love him as much as I did in the first movie. As for the story line the jokes were as good as the first BUT the dramatic parts sucked crap. They could have written the script for Will and Elizabeths love a bit more better to me it was sitting there like those cheesy movies when are like "oh I love you Ill get you revenge blah blah".
Anyway, as for the audiences point of view, no one really paid attention much to the fact that the monkey is undead. IE: Remember he took the gold from the chest at the end of the first movie? Well doesnt that mean the rest of the crew is undead again? Which explains Barbossas return. Most of you have been saying that the lady brought him back to life. Could be if my theory is not correct. BUT If my theory is correct this may explain that Jack is still alive because he is also UNDEAD again because of the monkey, they didnt want the audience to figure this out. They wanted to "trick" the audience so their all pissed off and figure out his escape in the third movie. Since Jack is the Captain of the black Pearl again he is ALSO undead all crew members are cursed again but no one really pays attention to that sideline much because they did not reveal that Jack is undead.

PS: I hope that Jack and liz hook up in the third movie, Id like them better as a couple then Will and Liz, Will= Wussy pirate lol. I really freaked when she kissed Jack but I hated her for tricking him 😛

As someone pointed out on this board somewhere, that She did it because she didnt want to admit to herself that she loves Jack, could be a good theory. Which could lead to a sword fight over Liz in the third movie heh.

That is just my theory it could be wrong but it could be right.

Forgive me if I rambled on too much I am a film studies major IE: Film critiquing.

just because the monkey stole one coin doesn't mean the whole crew is undead. only the person/thing that steals the gold becomes undead. therefore, only the monkey is undead. nobody pays attention to that sideline because it's not a sideline. sorry, but that fact alone pretty much pushes your theory down the drain. also, the pearl sank, it went down with the kraken and jack. so he's not really the captain of the pearl anymore.sorry for the bad news 🙁

BUT, the whole captain went down with his ship thing might factor in because when Jack jumped into the kraken, he was still captain

I dont remember it saying Each member of the crew individually took a piece of gold, it said that ONE piece of gold was taken the piece that Will had, that was given to him by his father. Since the whole crew was cursed when that ONE piece of gold was taken doesnt that mean they are cursed again?

"As someone pointed out on this board somewhere, that She did it because she didnt want to admit to herself that she loves Jack, "

ooooooo neat twist, didnt think about it that way. nothing like a pirate soap opera. hehehe.
