lol 🙂

its all down to personal tastes i suppose...
i thought the pair of them had great chemistry in POTC, and im sure they would continue that if they were in other films...

but i could just see myself sitting there in the cinema, watching the film and thinking;

"Omg...its just like lizzie and jack...only its not" lol 🙂

While I liked Keira well enough in the first POTC she's got some serious acting tics and just isn't on par with Johnny at all IMO. I think a lot of his female leads suffer from that problem though.

Acting tics? 😕

in what way?? lol 🙂

i dont know, to me personally i think keira is probably one of the best female lead roles that johnny has been against for a fare few years to be honest...

Shes the only really memorable one, anyway lol 🙂
(besides ricci...i rather like her, and i think alot of her past was like johnny's...i think thats why they connected)

Based on his performance in Pirates? His character had mad chemistry with everyone. That was Johnny.

And he had zero chemistry with Christina in Sleepy Hollow. They had anti chemistry but that was Christina not Johnny.

Johnny is such a good actor he really is able to make anything work but I've never seen him paired with an actress who has had chemistry that's almost as strong as his out of all the movies I have seen of him. That's JMO but I'd put Keira and Christina about on the bottom of the list of having the most chemistry with him.

i guess you have your opinions and i have mine 🙂

i take it that you dont really like keira very much? lol 🙂
ive liked her work ever since 'bend it like beckham', and she was brilliant in 'Dr Zhivago' 🙂

but hey, each to our own 🙂

Lol, T.Maria, I'd be doing the whole "I've got semi Sparrabeth closure! Yay!" thing too 😛 I thought that he and Keira worked well together, and that their characters had chemistry, the actors worked really, really well together but weren't perfectly in sync so to speak (just my opinion, i'm still sparrabeth 😛)

I like Keira in general - Bend it like Beckham was awesome! I like the fact that she hasn't changed her body much for hollywood, hasn't gotten a boob job etc - even though she is really skinny, I think thats just the way her body works, its like that with some people.

I loved him with Kate Winslet, I'd *love* to see them together again. I thought they had fantastic chemistry together 😄

see, now i differ with kate winslet 🙁
i didnt think their chemistry was all there...but im comparing them to the likes of kate/leo in titanic (I LOVE titanic! One of the best movies ever made!!) 😄 and i thought they were wonderful together.

To be honest with you, i think the way you view chemistry depends on how you view the characters...

if you like the two characters then you are more than likely to see chemistry within their scenes 😄

example:
I love liz and jack, therefore i think they have great chemistry with eachother.

SelinaAndBruce doesnt like liz, therefore she protests to any chemistry with jack because she doesn't see anything 🙂 lol

I don't dislike Keira necessarily but she has never wowed me. Johnny Depp has wowed me in all of his roles even when he's in a crappy movie he makes the most of it.

Keira is just okay to slightly good to me.

yeah, I thought the chemistry in Titanic b/t Kate and Leo was much stronger, but I thought it was still pretty strong when it came to the sort of relationship Kate and Johnny's characters had in Finding Neverland - it wasn't exactly a romance...the love was there, they just couldn't really act on it (oh, the angst!).

I did say there was chemistry with Sparrabeth but it wasn't to me hot or romantic and it was mainly coming from Johnny who has chemistry with Jack Sparrow's compass.

I think wanting two characters together can make you see things differently too.

I mean I came into Pirates just recently quite blind to all the Sparrabeth Willobeth mumbo jumbo so I watched pretty open mindedly and Sparrabeth aren't terrible together they just are overhyped IMO.

oh, i understand that savvy 😄
i LOVE forbidden love...its always the most exciting kind of love there is, but its heartbreaking at the same time 🙁

*sniff* I know! That is one of the reasons I love Dramione, Snevans, Sparrabeth and Barnabas/Josette from Dark Shadows. *sigh*

Okay, I'm now feeling an overwhelming urge to make a siggy with all those ships in it!

Yall are funny. 😆 But I sort of know what you mean the people in my signature don't get a happy ending either 🙁

What do you mean? 😛

Torturing yourselves shipping the unconventional couples, lol. It's funny in a cute way. That's a lot of torture though 😆

Not all of those are the unconditional couples O.o Barnabas/Josette is canon, Sparrabeth is semi-canon, so is Snevans...Dramione, not so much, but it is *hot*.

I mean the ones that pretty much don't win anywy. I don't think Sparrabeth was ever much of anything though. The compass thing was just Elizabeth's mind and Jack's words playing tricks on her because the whole time it was pointing towards the chest.

When was it said that the compass was always pointing towards the chest?

Unfortunately, savvy, the DMC commentary says that the compass was pointing to the chest the entire time because the deal when she's on the beach is that she is kind of walking in a triangle around the chest and that's why it seems that it's moving on her. When she sits, since she sits on the chest, it stays still.

But the whole point is that her imagination told her it was pointing to Jack. She would automatically assume it was pointing to the chest and Jack was just in the line of the path if she didn't feel anything for him.

I don't know. Everyone's different with the couples they like. Selina, I loved Batman Returns because of the chemistry between Michelle Pfeiffer and Michael Keaton, but some people I know didn't see it that way. Hence different ships. I didn't know the reference of your name until I saw your sig and that brought back a lot of good memories.
