Not Another Gay Blade

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2007)

I didn't much care for the second Pirates movie and this third one cinched it further for me. I didn't really understand the second movie all that well and definitely was lost in this third one. The impression I was left with after viewing this movie aside from exhaustion of waiting for it to end was that this had to have been a spoof movie ... one example is a showdown on the beach minus Clint Eastwood and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly music. The other impression was fraught with most every pirate in the movie was gay, including Jack Sparrow. I got very weary of watching Johnny Depp prance around like a fruit, which am glad I was spared most of this gayness in the second movie, but it had enough to wear me down.
To me, the 2nd and 3rd movies should have been put into one movie, but with all the visual padding they sold it down the pipe to the public. I really feel badly for parents taking their kids to see this since it won't make much sense to them, but kids like visuals so I suppose it will fly. However, due to how very, very, very long the movie is, I doubt young kids will sit comfortably in the theaters.
At least George Hamilton did a great classic in The Gay Blade with a good script, but Pirates 3 definitely is an arduous one-time viewing, heavily touted movie and not another Gay Blade.
