Well, I've posted my days and what not throughout my other journals I have all over the intraweb and it's just generally one gi-normous post. It's just broken down as I see fit. For this specific blog holder I'm going to type about me seeing POTC: Dead Man's Chest. (There may or may not be spoilers in here so waaay before hand and even before I know I do, just turn around if you haven't watched the movie, or if you don't really care at all.)
One of the greatest movies EVER, in my opinion. I loved what they did with it, but seeing that they have Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer, there was no general way they could fail. And the score, OH MY GOSH. I love that guy who did the music! I only caught his first name, Hans, but that doesn't change the awesome-ness of the man.
Now, my friend Billy asked was the only reason that I was going to go see the movie was because I was in love with Johnny Depp. And I said no. Johnny Depp, IS an amazing actor, and he is an EXTREMELY hott Captain Jack Sparrow, but that wasn't my only motive for seeing the movie. I actually really like the director's work alot almost as much as I love Kevin Smith. And that's saying alot. But it's almost. But also because I wanted to see where they took the story, and oh boy they sure did take that story places.
The beginning threw you smack dab into the middle of a conflict. They begin with a conflict and end with a problem. That's a good movie I say. And if you were watching the movie and didn't know about the 3rd one and were miffed at the ending, at laugh at you. Anyway, the beginning with their marriage ruined, WOW. I didn't get what the hell was going on at first. Keira Knightely with the whole wet dog look doesn't look half that bad. :P And Orlando Bloom in those fancy clothes is seriously HOTT. I strongly don't like the man cause he can make some ugly expressions, but he was great. In that outfit.
Ever since the beginning, the conflicts and problems (whichever you will) never stopped coming, it was awesome! {This is edited out because it's too much of a spoiler and kill me.} That was just me describing generally all the problems that arose. And that's probably only 45 minutes of the movie. Maybe an hour at most.
Another subject I must address before calling it an end is the CGI. I thought an entirely CGI character would turn out terribly. But knowing how they did the cursed crew in the 1st one hinted me in on how they worked that out. I thought they did swimmingly. My opinion here, but they made the scenes go really well. The kraken was a very nice touch as well.
Generally, it wasn't that humorful as the first one. There were little things that would catch you and make you laugh, but as a whole, it was not a humor movie. You couldn't even lump it in as a second or third genre. I think action will fit it nicely.
Random stuff about the movie I can't help but comment about: the after ending scene I knew they were going to have: I'm kinda happy they didn't kill the dog. I know most people were angry that that was what they were waiting for, but the CBP's ending wasn't all that great either. It was just funny and a nice little way of them saying: thanks for watching our credits. I learned that Johnny Depp has his own personal driver. No one else did. Just thought I'd mention.
And a perfect ending for this entry but won't rival the ending of DMC, I LOVED THAT ENDING. Captain Jack's exit was a great as his entrance, as if not better. I knew he would get his hat back. That's when you know something his wrong with him, when he leaves behind his hat... *sighs* THEN, Will seeing Elizabeth kissing Jack. OUCH! You know there will be problems there. At the end when they're all drinking to Jack, they all say something good about him except Will. Leaves some good character conflicts for the 3rd installment. And the great way to end the movie and begin the next: {I cut this one out cause you would REALLY hate me if you haven't seen it.} It was really awesome. Now I REALLY can't wait for the 3rd one. ^_^
