Absolutely monotonous

Rating: 1/10 (17 July 2004)

Possible spoilers.
I could only endure about an hour of this movie, before I walked out of the room where I had been watching it with my family. Why? First, the movie lacked a plot. It was strictly about the everyday lives of a group of pirates, and had no extraordinary plot elements. Instead of being a movie, it should have been made a sitcom. At least sitcoms ARE generally about the everyday lives of a person or group of people. Movies should have something more.
Secondly, this was one of the most monotonous movies I have ever seen. Most of the hour that I watched was the same dialogue, paraphrases over and over: "I'm a pirate." "Are you a pirate?" "Is he a pirate?" Hearing the same word in ALMOST EVERY SENTENCE grew very tiresome after an hour.
Lastly, constantly hearing the word "pirate" was only half of the problem with the dialogue. Much of it was JUST PLAIN CHEESY. I could not see how any educated writers could have come up with the dialogue that was used in this movie. If you want matching corny plot and dialogue, Pirates of the Caribbean is the right movie for you.
