Movie: Pirates of the Caribbean II

Wow. This being the sequel to the "The Curse of the Black Pearl" seems to have done pretty good!!

I loved the first one and now it seems that the Pirates of the Caribbean will be turning into a trilogy...Hmmm...



No Bottle of Rum, but...

Well, it's hard to say. Will have to see it for myself. I just hope this Pirates 2 lives up to the first one(I thought was great!) or "works with" it to create a good trilogy if that is what they are aiming for.

Can't wait to see this, I thought the first one was hilarious too, and from the trailers i've seen this looks equally so. Bring on the skally wags an work the planc cause wes gonna bring home the treasure

i too cannot wait for the movie! it's frustrating that it's not out here! a bunch of my friends have seen it and said it wasn't too shabby for being a sequel

Here is some pic's from the movie...

As i'm back in the UK, how I love England, I will be watching it very soon

I am looking forward to seeing this too.

Starts 27th July here!! Yo ho me hearties.

I don't know... the more I read about it, the more it seems Pirates 2 aint gonna be that good...

Dont read about it. Just go and watch it.

Johnny Vaughan Review
Well he seemed to like it?*

*Though he also gave a good review for Deuce Bigalow:European Gigalo, which was absolute shit. Could the good review been in return for a part in the film?

There's a preview on the 26th, but as its out now, I am betting that it could well be this or next weeks 'Sneak Preview' at the cinema.

considering we have so many johnny depp fans on this forum, it is time to start a thread on tomorrow's opening of the pirates 2. some friends and i will be watching it tomorrow night and i am looking forward to seeing it. word is that it is a good sequel and even better as the 1st, i am however trying to make up my own mind as most sequels are not as good as one hopes. the trailers look like fun and johnny depp will be the eye-candy throught the film

here are some pics:

i can't wait to see it! my friend's who've seen it (since it's been out awhile in the US) have given mixed reports.

There's still tickets left for tonights showing aswell.

Another hot man on the screen... hot inside, hot outside, hot on the screen - ideal for end-of-July!

I saw it in Manchester on Saturday. Won't spoil it for you.

I saw this not long ago, was brilliant! The only thing I can complain about is that I have to wait for the next part now, was well annoying the way it ended. Again great film will make you laugh, and in parts jump a mile.

Luckily one of the local cinemas in Aachen is also going to show it in the original version... Yipee.. Know where I'll be thursday night

Stroke me!!! Looks a bit like don riina.

i imagine, grilled over a BBQ with nice garlic sauce or maybe chilli sauce, he could be very tasty

Nah! I reckon he'd be a chewy as fried Wrigleys gum marinaded in boot polish and left out to bake in the sun.

Anybody else going to see it today?

me me me me me me me me
and i am excited... will have my beer and some ice cream while indulging pirate stories... 10.15pm cinema

I´m going to the earlier showing (7 p.m.)

My wife and kids went to see the film this afternoon in a cool cinema whilst I sweated it out in home-office.

The funny thing is they havnt said a thing about the film this evening...

Maybe they are still thawing...

Just back from seeing it. I thought it was enjoyable. Quite funny in parts.

I saw this a few days ago... I really liked it. A bit darker than the first, maybe not as funny, but still very enjoyable. I did laugh out loud during a few parts. Definately worth seeing if you liked the first but as with most sequesls, it's not as good as the original but certainly a fun film nonetheless.

Hmmm - am I the only one who didn't like it?
Saw it in England last weekend and thought it was nowhere NEAR the first part, which was hilarious.

It had quite a few funny bits, and the costumes and effects were good, but basically I found it just boooring.

I saw it last night and really liked it.
I thought the start was a bit slow, and some of the attempted jokes at the beginning fell a bit flat. But once it got going it was great fun. Can't wait for the next one.

Anything with Jonny Depp is worth seeing he is so good to look at, he was just great in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

agree katz - even the semi-boring bits at the beginning were eminently watchable for that very reason

saw it last night.
johnny depp was GREAT...
i liked it a lot. 2 reasons why i didn't like it very much: there was action all the time and the camera had only a few moments were it was steady and calm. in the first movie the camera was a bit slower. and i didn't like the sea creatures and sea-looking sailors...

and for those who haven't seen it: don't expect an end... Pirates 2+3 are one main story line...

Two great minds think alike!

fucking astounding film saw it on wednesday showing and gonna go see it again this weekend,

only problem was possible it was a little too long at 2 1/2 hours but it is only a minor criticism as it was so fastly paced there was always something happening

depps again at his best and this time bloom and knightley wernt just the pretty wooden dolls from the first film

great film loved the slapstick comedy and the set design was amazing. a true peice of pirate escapism, ending was annoying as you have to wait till next may/june for the next installment but a fking great movie overall

bring on miami vice now.

And just a little something from Pirates II..Have not seen it YET, but hopefully REAL soon!

thought it a great action film . its not often that people clap at the end of film happened last night.

Nope, you weren't the only one. Not that I was expecting much, but I was willing to give it a go. I found myself sighing with boredom at several points. And although I can suspend my disbelief enough to accept the premise of the story, some of the stunts that were done were just too silly or went on for too long to keep it up. Agreed about the costumes and effects for the most part.

Best line was from my husband. At the end of the film, when they are paddling up the river at night and he said "They are going to run into Marlon Brando soon".

In this country people clap if a trained pilot manages to land a plane, so I wouldn't use that sort of behaviour as a benchmark.

I usually clap if I manage to put on my pants without havin to zip up my ass.

and he probably understood the vodoo lady as well as kurtz? i had to concentrate there and put on my creole-jamaican ears on "high".

i had a good time in the film. thought davey jones' crew was cool. i had fun, but at mathaeser, they charged 9,50 EUR for a tix. what is the world coming to?

not true, londoners clap in the cinema too and they are not necessarily clapping when the plane lands

If somebody was landing a plane in a cinema clapping would be the last thing on my mind.

They do? I wouldn't mind betting those people you've seen clapping in London are tourists - let's be honest, 80% of London's population are tourists anyway.

Now, if somebody landed a cinema on a runway, that would be worth applauding!

It would have to be a Multiplex though, any common or garden cinema pilot worth their salt could land a arthouse cinema on a runway.

I find that the Cinema audience claps at a lot of the films I've seen there - nothing special.

I think the english audience is a harder cookie to crack, when watching a funny movie in England you rarely get more than a couple of giggles at parts when most Americans would be bent over their popcorn, hot dog, and nachos histerical. With this movie though the whole english audience was in stitches, I think it makes the movie more fun.

Crap! Boring as hell. I went in not expecting much and was still disappointed... mostly by Depp's performance (compared to his effort inthe first movie). They did the usual Hollywood thing of concentrating too much on special effects at the expense of everything else. The original was much better. On saying that there were a few moments that were very funny.

I really enjoyed it... but... the poor doggie

well, the audience was clapping for the film: the story of the weeping camel at the curzon cinema, not sure that was a tourist crowd

Ay, so it was...
totally agree, boring as hell, while the special effects were quite interesting, (i enjoyed the fishhead people), the action sequences were so redundant, and, i can't believe i am about to say it, johnny depp's performance fell flat in this one for me... (god, i feel like a traitor)
