Some of the critics were right, Pirates#1=fun, Pirates #2=dumb

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2006)

When I saw the first teaser trailer I definitely had my doubts about this movie. Whe I saw the full trailer I had more. I read some of the early critics opinions and had even more. When it opened and I saw the rest of the review I took heart in the fact that a lot of the critics like it (just goes to show you) and of course when it beat the records I just knew I should hurry to see it. Well I was wrong. This movie was just dumb it was really bad. From the opening shot to the closely "to be continued" I just wanted to yell, "let me out of this HELL!" You know the Mummy and The Mummy Returns at least had the good sense to keep in the sequel what we liked about the first movie; it even built upon it, a little. This movie not only threw away everything we liked about the first movie, it then had the nerve to add everything we hate about movies period. Let me list them: No Decent Plot, No worthwhile villain (unless you count Norington), Stupid Effects, Creature features and Teenager gross-outs. And not to mention no decent romance. I didn't give too hoots for any of these characters. Banish them all to Davy Jones Locker, please. 3/10
