at least the popcorn was worth it

Doug & I  went to see the newest Pirate movie last night 
It should have been called Pirates to the end of the world and 3 hours of your life you will never get back

Granted the special effects and CG were awesome but that was not enough to save this movie from being classified as not even worth the price of a cheap rental

Plot lines were wayyyyyyyyy to confusing . I'm still not sure who was double crossing who to get to what and why

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over the top action scenes that leave you shouting ... OHHHHH come on knock it off that could never happen . GIANT voodo woman who explodes and thousands of crabs come out of her .
Multiple Johnny Depps in the same scene all not making sense and  all with out the humor that I was hoping to see from the 1st movie

The tentacle guy was less mean than in the last movie you could say the giant squidy like man had a emotional side to him that just made it even creepier than it was in #2

Orlando Blooms love intrest in the movie (can't remember her name for the life of me)  becomes a captain of a ship and her costume changes to trendy asian couture with a touch of Gangas Khan . Totally insane . Like Pirates generally  travel the seas with trunks of clothing on their ships just in case a cute female needs to change for dinner.

I think the Asian Pirate lady lord could have been Margret Cho's mother in real life . She had the same pissed off at life yell that Cho has

Orlando Bloom was adorable but then again a bad movie cant take that away from him

This movie was missing the fun and humor of the first one, but then again sequels are hardly ever as good as the first one . I think what this movie was missing in chemistry and story line they tried to make you forget about with action scenes and special effects . It might have worked if those elements would not have been so outrageously over the top . Even more so than the previous Pirates .

The writers and directors  totally leave the movie open for #4 and i was told by my husband that i best find someone else to see it with because he now classifies Pirates 3 in the same bad cinema class as  Oceans 12 . Which was another movie he complained he could never get back the 2+ hours he spent at the show to make me happy
