everything about this movie is bad. everything.

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2006)

Terrible, terrible movie. I'm not quite sure why so many people gave it a 10, were they entranced by the name of the movie ... or passed out after the first 5 minutes... or is it simply that they were preoccupied thinking up the fan-fiction they were going to write upon their return home? I mean honestly, this movie was just poorly done. They dropped the ball hard here. First of all, it needs some serious editing, it was far too long, and needlessly so. The fight sequences were repetitive and I hardly saw any swashbuckling! Next, can we get a little more imagination in the writing please? How many times are they going to repeat the same rum joke?!?!
I was considering giving the movie a 2 or maybe even a 3 due to the great visual effects, but topped with the terrible story, awful writing, poor score, and pretty much ruining the first one for me, I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
