fantasticmuseHere is my non-spoiler review:
Go see this goddammed movie if it's the last thing you do. Trust me on this one.
My thoughts- in random order.
The movie was fantastic. Plot was excellent, very witty dialog, clever cinematography. No complaints about the acting skills of one Orlando Bloom, he was better here than I ever expected him to be. He got to work his little bit of comedy, and was good at it, which surprised me.
Keira Knightly is hot. Really, really hot. And her character is adorable- Drinking rum on the beach with Jack Sparrow, sorry Captain Jack Sparrow was possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen.
The damn monkey scared the fucking crap out of me. I will never recover.
And Johnny Depp. What can I say? I loved every moment of his screen time. His expressions, and especially his movements were hilarious, but I didn't have a hard time taking him seriously. He takes himself very seriously- pirate with a heart of gold.squeeomgLOVE
There were a couple flaws, it was really too long: about 2hrs and 12min and there were certain parts that could have been shortened, the epic battles got a little old after about 10 min.
Highlights of the movie include:
The skeleton crew underwater- amazing CGI there
Johnny Depp
The rum on the beach scene- "but why is all the rum gone?"
Orlando Bloom's hat
Johnny Depp saying "nice hat"
The kiss. Suffice to say Orlando Bloom is a good kisser. A very good kisser. *g*
Well, I guess that wasn't too spoileriffic, but it's best to be on the safe side. Oh, and don't take the kids to this one- it's rated PG-13 for a reason folks. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 10 for language issues and graphic violence. :) And just to get this out of the way SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!
