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 ...

Review of Pirates Of The Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl (DVD)

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.

Will Turner is also along on this trip as he has his own agenda, he wishes to take hold ...

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 ...
