SUPERB...ly awful

Oh my gosh... The sheer brilliance of this movie....
It cannot be put into words. WOW.
Where do I start about how this movie amazed me......?
It is astounding that a movie with such a large budget, potentially great cast, and an absolutely splendid start (meaning Curse of the Black pearl and NOT Dead mans chest), could turn out so very wrong.
As far as the worst sequels ever go, this outranks the two Matrix sequels. Its running time makes me very curious to know how many people walked out of the cinema!
The first Pirates movie (COTBP) was beautiful; light-hearted and fun with a very clever, witty script. It was an incredibly entertaining action-comedy... and made sense in its own strange little way! It baffles me how they could possibly imagine that it would be conceivable to turn it into an epic-style trilogy. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?? Probably the biggest problem with these "sequels" is that they are not in keeping with the atmosphere and the spirit of the first movie, and they just don't know their audience. I found that it was very child-like at some points, and then at other times it was unnecessarily violent, and not suitable for children.
Suffice it to say, I was lucky enough to see this movie for free, and since I can't have my money back, can I please have my 3 hours??!!
