Not impressed

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2006)

There are two big critiques I have of this movie: 1) Davey Jones boat and crew looked like one big green and gray blob. It was virtually impossible to distinguish crew members from one another and from the background when they were aboard the ship. Yes, the ocean is full of kelp and barnacles, but not everything is dark green and gray - not even in the depths. Give it some color and make things distinguishable! I rue the day this gets released on DVD...things will be even less distinct.
2) I hope all movie studios read this comment: If you're going to make an action movie - let the audience be able to see the action! I get so irritated by movies that cram fifty different action shots into 5 seconds, but you can't tell what happened in ANY of the shots. Slow it down, people! Give the movie some depth. I can't even tell you what happened in half of this movie because all I saw were flickers of things flying across the screen. What was flying or what happened to it, I couldn't tell you.
One last wish I have is that modern movies would stop showing people vomit. It's just disgusting, uncalled for, and I don't understand the modern fascination with showing it. You never saw it in old movies, and nowadays you can't escape it. It's ridiculous.
