Pirates

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2007)

If you have seen the first and loved it, then seen the second and taken slightly aback because you thought it was a little too over done, then be prepared to be set in the middle. At first I was going to wait, but when it was to be shown starting 4 hours earlier (due to midnight showings) it was decided to see if it could stand up to the first. The movie was once again mixed with all the things a pirate could want: love, romance, betrayal, twist, action, betrayal, and of course the sea. If people want to place the first movie against this one, it is advised against. Even though the story line continues, it seems to take on a life of its own. You wanted to see where the story went, but when you looked for something to go from in the previous movies, there was only the story. As it progressed I found myself wanting to see what was twisting where and how it was to come to fruition. As to be expected, the action gave some fun to the movie, but the intrigue was well placed. It didn't bowl you over but it was not slow going. ALmost a little long you have small kids with you. If you loved the first one, and like this one, stay for the ending.
