Watching Space...

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2006)

I really feel like I just watched 2 hours of Space. Like what they had to say was really just about 30 minutes worth of plot movement and the rest was to show case their academy nominated talent and amazing vfx. This was more the promo video at a scifi convention and less the movie part 1 was made of.
The actors really flopped as well. Jack Sparrow was wonderful, but Johnny seldom fails in his delivery. Sometimes he picks bad scripts, but regardless his delivery is always on. He was the only human actor that did this with this plot less tale. Orlando and Keira really missed the mark. Sometimes you can tell when an actor is already swinging for the fences and strikes out completely.With these two actors that is exactly what happened. There was no levels in their performance and no memorable moment.
The second savior of the film (The first being Jack Sparrow) was Davy Jones. WELL DONE!!! I am so glad I live in an age where claytronics don't exist and characters like Davey Jones does. I couldn't stop staring and couldn't get enough. Jerry Bruckheimer should be kissing who ever did the VFX's rear, because without that this movie would have flopped.
At the very least he should give his writers a smack on the wrists as they didn't fill the void of a second movie with amazing content, instead they left it empty with the occasional change of scenery.
