Pirates Vs. Superman

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2006)

and as you can tell by the latest box office readings, it proved to be correct. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has brought in a whopping 132 million over this weekend alone, while leaving Superman in the dust, which earned a measley 21 million, pretty low if you ask me for it being in its second week of release only. Why they put Superman to go head to head with the POTC is beyond me. They should've known the man of steel would stand no chance against all them damn bloody pirates!! Now onto the movie, all I have to say is WOW!!! This was an awesome fantastic sequel that really lived up to the first. And I might as well go on to say it might have even surpassed the first. Everything was outstanding. The acting, directing, special effects, visuals, EVERYTHING!!!! All true Pirates of the Caribbean fans will not be disappointed! Johnny Depp is defintley of course the stand out in the film as Jack Sparrow. The entire theatre was cracking up mostly the whole time. Dang, now I really know he was born to play this role. I couldn't see anyone else playing it but him. The other returning players also gave outstanding performances. Orlando Bloom was given way more screen time this time around then in the first and deftinley shows his talent that hes a fine actor. And Keira Knightley again shined playing the lovely stubborn Elizabeth Swann.
And I have one thing to say to all the people who are bashing this sequel and saying it wasn't good at all because it just has a lot of action scenes and special effects and that there is no plot. So what??? The last time I checked, most people go to the movies to get away from the real world, so to speak. They don't want to be bored by a bunch of scenes where it's just talking and thats it. We want to see fighting, lots of action and special effects. Hey, if you don't, this is your wrong movie. Go see Gone with the Wind or some other sappy drama. I'll take this over any of those anyday!! And hey, if you didn't notice there was a plot, I'm wondering if your watching the same movie I am.
All in all, this is defintley the Big Summer flick of 2006. No doubt about that!! HIGHLY Recommended to everyone who loves a good awesome action oriented special effects extravaganza!!!! This will be a real treat for you. And yes, TAKE THE KIDS!!!!! There are some scenes that are frightening and scary, but not enough to make them cry. The showing I went to had numerous children in it, and all of them enjoyed the movie. I didn't hear one cry or peep out of them except of course laughter. So do take them. The entire family will enjoy this!!! A MUST SEE!!!!!!!!!! 5 stars in my book!!!!!!!
