Thoughts of Pirates

My favorite part was the wedding scene

Dez will kill me, but I didn't love it so much. I thought the violence was less "in the head" and more "in your face", and the comedy wasn't as funny as it could have been. It seemed that the movie really was milking the past movies gags for all it was worth, and that's a bit sad. This isn't to say the movie wasn't enjoyable- I had a great time- but the plot lines are a bit convoluted, the characters all end up backstabbing each other, and the ending sort of wasn't my cup'o'tea.

Also, if they had just tried to make Orlando Bloom a little less "Fabio" and Kiera Knightly a little less "Bronzed Victoria's Secret Model", it would have gone a long way.

Keith Richards. Awesome!

Had they put a bit more effort into it instead of trying to hard to push it out for the public, they could have had a fantastic movie. Instead, the overall feeling I had walking away was that they only made it for the sake of making it, and that never really flies in movies.
