*squeeeee*
I loved it!



*sigh*



  • OMG - Orlando is just gorgeous. Okay, that's not exactly news but he's extra gorgeous in this. Heh - these are going to be insightful & thoughtful comments aren't they? *ggg*

  • Johnny is as outrageous & captivating as ever. *dies at the swagger*

  • I love that they've brought back so many of the original cast - Jack Davenport! *squee*

  • I really liked the story - so many plot twists that my head was spinning but it kept me enthralled all the way through.

  • But, but...humongous (& very cool) cliffhanger! Aaagh! Is it next year yet?

  • Davy Jones was incredibly well realised - both through Bill Nighy's excellent performance & the amazing prosthetics/effects.

  • The action was great - lots of cool sword fights & some brilliant set pieces.

  • The Kraken (sp?) was really well done & I like the whole thing with Bootstrap Bill.

  • As in the first film, I just squeed over all the little references to the actual ride (my favourite Disneyland ride of all time anyway.) Loved the bit in 'the bayou' with the fireflies - it was just like eating at The Blue Bayou. *g*


On the downside:~
  • There were times when the lead players were split up (understandably for the plot) but it seemed like we didn't see so much of Jack.

  • What happened to the dog?!!!!! They'd better sort that out!

  • We have to wait until next year to find out what happens. *wails*

Erm....you liked Orlando then? *ggg* Well, there's a surprise;) I'm a bit wary of it to be honest because I loved the first one. Sequelitiss and all of that. Then again, how could I desert Johnny and his fantastic Jack Sparrow. Couldn't do it at all!!!

How are you? Things have been somewhat uneven here but I'm still fighting it..even though depression is a cheating bugger. As I am sure you know. How's your Dad?

Oooooh, the last one Doctor Who tomorrow!!! Can't wait. Then Torchwood in the autumn.....and Captain Jack *squees like mad woman*

Well, I loved the first one & wasn't disappointed by the sequel at all. But I know what you mean - it's always a risk, isn't it?

Sorry you've been up & down - I know exactly what that's like. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, I mean - look at me! (Okay, that may not be such a recommendation. *g*)
*hugs*
My Dad's doing okay, thanks - this latest round of chemo didn't have such nasty side-effects, thank goodness.

Yeah, can't wait for Dr Who tonight & then our other Capt. Jack. *g*

I knew there was going to be another film but I didn't realise they were going to leave us with such a cliffhanger!
*wail*

Hi Honey,
I loved the movie, I thought it waqs delightful. William was even more handsome than POTC1 and Jack was superb.
The action was tremendous fun and I was giggling all day remembering bits and pieces.
If you sit through 4 minutes of credits you find out what happens to the dog :-)

I'm going to kill Mr B - he said 'oh, there won't be a tag scene like in the first 'cus we've just had that reveal in the final scene.' D-oh! I should've known!
Now I have to go & see it again to see what happens to the dog. yep, it's a hard life! LOL

I am sterly telling myself NOT to see this film on opening weekend because it will be a mob scene. Especially since rain is in our forecast.

Oh, but this description and that PIC. That's making it soooo hard to resist!

We were lucky being able to go in the day. The cinema was still fairly busy but comfortably so - not jammed full like I'm sure the evening would've been.
But I think I'd have battled the crowds anyway - it was worth it! *g*
