Less money on effects and more thought in a good script....

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 2007)

Once mind is blown away, when sitting through the 170 minutes of Pirates of the Caribbean. In a negative way that is. I just walked out of a packed theater in Hamburg, and guess what, the audience was really, really happy to see some light again. No emotional ride whatsoever. The movie is just overblown with effects and effects and some wired performance by Mr. Rolling Stone himself. Where was the story? Because there was not one story but so many of them, that I lost count. I could really tell anymore, where the hell are they now, who is chasing who and where has Johnny Depp lost his integrity to the role he once so brilliantly gave birth to? His character is just stumbling through a maze of a pirate flick, that will do another billion dollars at the box office, but will not touch heart and soul. An CGI Effect loaded 170 minutes film doesn't equal automatically into a good film, Bruckheimer should know, I should have known.
