Advantages: Brilliant script
Disadvantages: None

Pirates of the Caribbean and the Dead Mans Chest is the second film in the pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and is more than a worthy sequel. The film is once again a fast-paced humorous adventure that invites the audience to climb aboard and immerse themselves in the ship-rocking storm of a story. In Port Royal Elizabeth and Will's wedding plans aren't exactly going to plan. On their wedding day the pair find themselves arrested for helping Captain ...
...and the storyline. The now-familiar Pirates of the Caribbean is often heard, signifying that greater action is on its way and is combined with much subtler pieces of music for an overall brilliant effect. The cast once again performs together perfectly. The relationships they have with one another continue to blossom but it is Jack, who once again despite what he does is loved from the start, who steals the show. His dead-pan humour is combined ...

Advantages: awash with bucklers being swashed
Disadvantages: treasure that should remain buried

what a combination, National treasure is so dire I find it difficult to imagine how these 2 could be paired up together other than a Disney smash cash tie in. take my advice, buy POTC on its own! National treasure - Nicolas 'Francis ford coppola got me the job' cage stars in this duck as a treasure hunter following in his father/grandfathers/great-grandfathers footsteps. Tales of Masonic/knights templar treasure send him from the arctic to new York ...
...just get POTC and ditch national treasure as that should be left buried in my opinion. 2 discs, no extras, £15 on Amazon new, £11 used I had to give it poorer ratings due to the inclusion of National treasure.the effects in POTC were pretty good but stunts/action/excitement were pretty thin on the ground with national treasure not sure if this is allowed but i met a 'pirate' in Sydney in april this year who was the spitting image of Depp, here's ...

Advantages: Great all round movie.
Disadvantages: A lot of violence

Apocalypto is the story of a happy Indian youth ripped savagely from his rainforest life by ruthless, bloodthirsty Mayan warriors. Its portrayal of the Mayan culture -- including its strange dress, hair styles, costumes, tattoos, body piercing, and decorative scars, as well as its industry, class system, cities, warfare, weapons, myth, and religion -- provide a bizarre and fascinating backdrop for what is, at its heart, a solid, thrilling, fast paced ...
...The movie does have a lot of violence, which although not for the faint hearted, is a realistic part of the culture being described. The whole movie is in an ancient native language, subtitled in English, and it lends an air of authenticity to the movie that I feel would have been missing otherwise. The acting is superb and the direction is without a doubt Mel Gibson's finest work. All in all a highly recommended movie. ... Read review

Advantages: Matt Damon's performance
Disadvantages: n/a

...list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum. If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits ... Read review
