Pirates!

*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*

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 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!
