Great Films

Advantages: Great Storyline
Disadvantages: I feel the ending was slightly rushed.

Excellent Trilogy, it is one of my personal favourites of all time. I would recommend it to anyone of any age. There are a few scenes a of violence but there is nothing terrible or life changing in it. The films are very watcheable and addictive with a thriling storyline. The films are full of great special effects, sometime it leaves you wondering whether it's actually real as it's so convincing. Amazing characters, for instance Davy Jones looks ...

Certainly not the end of the world

Advantages: Captivating, intriquing storyline and unpredictable
Disadvantages: Some scenes were too long

...to go and see The Pirates of the Caribbean for it’s UK premier along with my twelve year old daughter and her friends, I was uncertain for two reasons. One, I had had a very late night the previous night and two, I had not seen Pirates of the Caribbean 2, Dead Man’s Chest. After settling myself down for the three hour stint and enduring the big feature previews, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film held my attention well. Having omitted ...
...to the preceding sequence of events, but the assumptions I made during the movie helped fill in the gaps reasonably well and the film was not too hard to follow (I understand some people find the plot very confusing anyway and I confess, I didn't fully understand the story in it's entirety). The first thing that caught my attention was the magnificent set, CGI generated of course but the artistry and design skill of the film makers were tremendous ...

Nine Pieces of Eight?????

Advantages: Excellent Acting, great story and effects, Johnny Depp!
Disadvantages: None

...of watching the first two Pirates movies I certainly had to watch the third so I could complete the series. The third is just as good as the first two in my opinion. We start the film with Captain Jack being trapped in Davey Jones Locker but a crew of friends set out to free him, the team is lead by Barbossa who has been brought back from the dead by Calypso. Will Turner is also along on this trip as he has his own agenda, he wishes to take hold ...
...port Royal are hanging all pirates and anyone who is found to be helping them. Will is enlisted by they to help capture Jack and led them to the Brethren court so the leader of the forces can take control of the court and rid the seas of these pirates. Elizabeth is again along on this mission but there is tension between her and Will as Will saw her kissing Jack at the end of the last film so he thinks she now loves Jack and not him. The couple find ...

Fitting but not fantastic

Advantages: Brilliant graphics
Disadvantages: Lacks a sparkle that the other films had

...impressed by the first two Pirates of the Caribbean films I was eager to see the third film, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I must admit however that although I enjoyed this film it simply wasn't as good as its predecessors and lacked a certain sparkle that the others had prominently displayed. The film itself was released in 2007 was a 12 certificate. It has the same all-star cast as the previous films but this time delves deeper into ...
...showed Captain Jack Sparrow has been lost to Davy Jones' locker and Captain Barbossa has been raised from the dead by Tia Delma to aid William Turner and Elizabeth Swan in their quest to get him back. Together they travel to Singapore to get a crew and ship in order to get Jack back from the land of the dead. In the meantime however Lord Cutler Beckett has grained control of Davy Jones' heart and with it now controls the sea. Together the nine pirate ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
