hilarious review clips
I was just checking out some of the reviews on rottentomatoes, and the reviews are hilarious. No real spoilers here, so just sit back and enjoy. Happy Opening Day, everyone!
From Cinema Blend:
We’re three movies in to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and I still have no idea who Will Turner is. He’s never developed a personality. Whether that’s because no one has bothered to write him one or because Orlando Bloom has all the acting range of a two-by-four is hard to say. It’s probably a combination of both. We may not know who Will Turner is, but nobody seems to care. There are so many big personalities in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End it hardly matters that the skinny little pale fellow over in the corner never turned in to an actual character. Big personalities rule these seven seas, and the biggest of those personalities is of course Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. But At World’s End proves that while his place in piracy may be the biggest, it’s not necessarily the most important. Pirates 3 is better than Pirates 2 for one, very good reason: Forget Captain Jack, Captain Barbossa is back!
If the previous movie was primarily about Captain Jack Sparrow running then this third one is all about Jack having meetings. It’s the first thing Sparrow does when he’s resurrected, and once he gets going he just can’t seem to stop. He holds meetings with himself, meetings with his enemies, meetings with his women, meetings with his crew, and if there’s a fourth film, I fully expect him to install an Office Space style conference room in the bowels of the Black Pearl.After awhile the film turns into one big, knotted mess of crosses, double crosses, triple crosses, quadruple crosses and double quadruple crosses. You’ve got to wonder why anyone even bothers talking, when both sides know that whatever the other has to say is almost certainly a complete fabrication. What’s the point? Aren’t these supposed to be pirates? Shut up and stab somebody.
From Cinematical:
Who knew the Pirates of the Caribbean series would turn into such an entertainingly convoluted soap opera? The first 2/3rds of At World's End are jam-packed with more plot twists, character developments, back-stabbings and revelations than an entire season of Desperate Housewives.The most common gripe about the flick will be the blather. Just about every character onscreen gets to deliver huge speeches, explain current plot threads in blatantly expositional chunks, and then head off to betray everyone they just hung out with for an hour.
From SAMoviemag:
But have no fear: Pirates 3 still makes for fine entertainment and a swell time at the cinema. The movie kicks off on a dark tone by breaking one of Hollywood 's most hallowed unwritten laws (hint: it involves the fate of children). Then, with Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, his friends Luke and Leia infiltrate Jabba the Hut's lair to rescue him by . . . Oh sorry. Wrong trilogy.
