Darn

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2006)

I loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Loved the acting the humor and the interesting twists and turns...and couldn't wait for this one. Darn. I love Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom and I hated this movie. It was the slapstick version of the original. What if we all acted like the Three Stooges and re-made the movie. And it's not the actor's fault. It's probably Disney's fault...certainly the writers and directors and the folks that could have said Stop! The character of Captain Jack disappeared somewhere in the bad comedy though he did a great job with what he had to work with. Orlando Bloom was in it wasn't he? With a few excellently delivered lines (he can't do otherwise) he seemed to be kind of melded into the special effects. And for anyone who saw Underworld...come on Davy Jones! get a new character! we could see you through your huge makeup and we wanted to see someone else. Too much CGI. Too little of what we watch Pirates to see...Johnny Depp...acting...being Captain Jack... I was greatly disappointed. Sorry. I hate saying bad stuff about people I love. Lots of good people (I have to exclude K. Knightly...someone please tell her how to hold her face naturally and quit with the lip thing...)with not much to do. I do hope the next one is so much better. And, I am glad there will be a next one.
