I appear to be the only one who didn't like this film...

Rating: 3/10 (13 July 2006)

Everyone is going to think I'm crazy, but I really hated this film. I wasn't expecting much going into it, because I also disliked the first Pirates film. This one was worse. And why was it so bad? you may ask. I am a very picky person who does not enjoy most films anyway, so this is quite normal for me. The film simply tried too hard to make people like it. And you know what? For the most part, it worked. The film has lots and lots of action, and lots and lots of yelling. Lots and lots of ugly creatures, and lots and lots of the good-looking stars. There was never a dull moment. Aaaaaand that's why this film bored me so. The whole time I was in the theatre, I was thinking to myself, "Calm down, Pirates movie! It's okay! The audience isn't going to walk out of the theatre if you take a breather!" It was just too much. Too much of everything; trying way way too hard. Therefore, I was completely and utterly bored in the theatre, angry that I had come to see this silly little film. All I know is that at the end of the film, I really didn't care about what happened next...so much of everything went on EXCEPT any reason to like any one of the characters. I hated them all for being so one-dimensional. Action, yes. Likable characters, not to me. Maybe I just prefer the simple things in life, like the quiet.
