A college student and self proclaimed film junkies point of view

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2006)

As you can see my rating for this movie was a 4. It wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen (see white chicks for that) but at the same time I did leave the theater very upset. I can appreaciate that this movie is part of a larger story. I loved the matrix trilogy and it employed the same release path. But the major difference between the matrix trifecta and pirates is that of marketing. Everyone (read: who cared) knew that when they went and saw Reloaded in May of 2003 that they should not have expected the story to come to any kind of conclusion. It was well known that there was a third movie coming out 6 months later and that it would pick up right where it left off. However with this movie (possible spoiler i suppose) that was not the case. When ______ (that guy) came walking down the steps at the end, I fully expected the movie to march on. In fact I was pleased that the movie stopped putting it off, then that very thing happened. Right when the story (or at least one of them, there were too many to count) was about to come to resolution the credits rolled.
Now to be fair I have no problem with a clifhanger. Its going to a movie expection to see some story, with an ending, and instead I get a gigantic clifhanger. FOR A MOVIE THAT Isn't OUT FOR ANOTHER 10 MONTHS! With that rant about the ending (lack of one) over; the movie was still visually appealing, and rather entertaining. Granted it was dull at points, and the dialogue was hard to understand, it was still overall good; if you can deal with watching a 2.5 hour trailer for the next movie.
Summery: No ending, heavy accents, slow at times, great cgi, Capt Jack Rocks.
Recommendation: Read a few spoilers, save 8$, see the third one its only 250+ days away.
