POTC 3 sucks

What the hell? Seriously. What the hell? After tarnishing the POTC name with Dead Man's Chest you would have thought they had learned their lesson. Bad news: they havent.

1>Why is Chow Yung Fat even in this? He's insignificent and there for 4 mintues. Tops.
2> Why do people give Knightly and Bloom roles? They aren't even good enough to do panto.
3>No idea what was going on. I was convinced the technician had laced the reels in the worng order. Turns out the start is supposed to feel like you've walked in during the middle of something, and that nothing is supposed to make sense.
4>Takes things too far. Squid man is in love with black women who is secretly AN ANCIENT ALL POWERUL SEA *** Barbussa wedding Elizabeth and William IN THE MIDDLE OF A HUGE FIGHT ON A SHIP THAT IS GOING DOWN A WHIRPOOL. Jack Sparrow MAKING A PARACHUTE.

lol

I was gonna see the premiere, but today was the absolute worst day that the premiere could've been on. No other day could've been worse than this.

Needless to say, there goes half my incentive to see it. Just the fun of a pirate premiere was my incentive. >_> That being said, I'll probably see it tomorrow. I think I'm in for a lol. =/ POTC was awesome, and Dead Man's Chest sucked. I'm expecting nothing more from this one.

After 2 I didn't expect much from the third... which is why I didn't go today. Apparently it's convoluted as hell though.

See I have to disagree. Why you all hate 2, is something beyond me. I thought it was great, and the 3rd was even better. I'm happy they took the time to explain everything, so by the end of the movie, everything made sense. And if you couldn't keep up with it, then you pretty retarded, because it wasn't confusing at all. The action was amazing, the SFX was amazing, and the finale battle was amazing. The only problem I have with this movie is Bloom and Knightly. Why are they actors? Why do people hire them?

But either way, it was still an awesome movie and I enjoyed it from start to finish.

[quote]Why you all hate 2, is something beyond me.

Cliffhanger ending is cliffhanger.

I rather enjoyed 3. Make a hate thread about how Superman Returns sucked plz.

Oi, you got it backwards.

I saw it, and I came out a lot more satisfied than I thought. It wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't bad. I can't really explain why, but for some reason, it had more of the feel of POTC1. Maybe it was because thewy actually had something to work with rather than "That movie sold well! Let's make a sequel, and better yet, make up a bunch of new crap because we completely closed off the first one!"

After having something from 2 to work with, it seemed a lot more structured than the previous. I could hate lot more for so many parts being so ridiculously mind blowingly fake (ie, that entire final battle), but that's just what the series has turned into. Look past all the uh, epicness, and it's not bad.

Overall, it was far, far better than the second, (And the scenes were actually necessary, no thirty minute long cannibal scenes!) but still can't match up to the first. It was a good ending to a trilogy, but a fourth shouldn't be attempted, not in my opinion.

Speaking of which, are they making a fourth? ;| Do they have to sign a contract or something? It seems like they left it open.

Eh. They didn't set up a fourth, but they left it open nonetheless. I'd have mixed feelings about that. If anything, it'd be about the Fountain of Youth, of course. It just seems like they'd have to spawn a whole new amount of crazy story to do it.

At the end of the credits it shows Elizabeth and her child looking into the sea ten years later, green light appears on sunset, Will comes back.

I'd give it a 8 outta 10.

Yeah, I saw that. Nothing really worth waiting for.

Anyway, maybe I'm phrasing things wrong. ;| I meant they're leaving it open for a fourth by doing the Fountain of Youth, but they're not setting it up for a fourth. By ending this, one can think that Jack and fellow Pirates pursued that, or they'll just make yet another movie.

I LIKED IT!

For all of you people who actually enjoyed this film, something is seriously wrong with you. Either you need your head checked or have a serious bad taste in films and considering which members here hate or love it I'm going to go with both.

If anyone can explain to me what was happening in this incohrent jumbled mess I'll eat my hat.

Oh and the battles were complete ****. Did they even get a coreogropher in or were the film makers content with having the pirates swordfight like infants with sticks?

I don't mind cliffhangers when there are good or needed like say in Star Wars (although they more open ended than cliffhangers) but for Pirates it just a bad cash in. Vamp has it spot on. Dead Mans Chest was esstionally a long *** teaser trailer for the 3rd.

If they DO make a fourth film, they need to lose Bloom, and possibly Knightly. Also, so what if they make up stuff? What else are they supposed to do? Remember "Luke I am your father."? Or how about the Star Wars prequels?

Anyways, I saw the very first showing. I thought it was really good, although I admit that it got confusing in the middle. What with all the double crossing and all.

To me it would seem very stupid if they keep continuing Pirates. I mean the more you drag out a series the worse it seems to get. Don't get me wrong, the third one wasn't bad. I enjoyed it more than the second, which was a disgrace. However, if they choose to keep extending the series it will grow old. The first one was fantastic because it left the ending to your imagination. You could do whatever you wanted with that ending. I thought it had a nice touch. The ending of the third one had that feel to it also. A nice conclusion if you will, even though it left many things open for more movies. An extension will be too much. I can't possibly see what rediculous thing they might pull out of their hat to try and tie the story to the Fountain of Youth, but I have a feeling it will be bad if they do.

All right, so that **** after the credits... wow. Lame. So lame.

And if he's not interested it means he wouldn't be in one what? lol

A fourth would rake in a ton just from people who just want to see how bad it sucks, let alone the fans. :s

I liked the movie. It had a lot of action, etc. The story line was stupid, but it was still fun to watch.

People are stupid. Some people who hated 2 or 3 will see it just out of curiosity to see if it turns out any better or worse than those did. You can't honestly be trying to tell me everyone hated 2 and 3, and that therefore everyone would skip out on 4. There are hundreds of thousands of people who loved both of those and would still see a fourth. It would rake in a ****load of money, regardless of whether or not a few people disliked it. It might not make as much as any of the first 3, but I have no doubt Disney would turn a profit from it.

edit: bebop ninja

Hey, it's like Snakes on a Plane! People actually go see it just to see how awful it really is!

Are we talking about the same people that go to see every horror movie that comes out, all of which are absolutely terrible, yet still manage to debut and stay at number one for a few weeks? Yeah, people don't know what's good and not good, as made apparent by a lot of people (not on the internets) liking Pirates 3.

goooooooood movie.

Best part was after they went over the waterfall and it went dark and you heard all the voices around you. It was so much like the ride. I was so disappointed after the film when I brought that part up and no one noticed it. People are missing out on this films best material, I say.

Like I said before, I liked the film. I can see how it wasn't that great, but it was still enjoyable. Spiderman 3 was a lot more disappointing for a sequel in my opinion.

Spiderman 3 is better than POTC3 because it had less plot holes, better acting, better story, better direction, better action scenes, better special effects, no Keira Nightly, no Oranldo Bloom, Venom and Bruce Cambell.

and emoness :*(

Pirates was more depressing than Spiderman could ever be

Just learnt filming for Pirates 3 started without a compltely script. Goodness.

Remember the line about Jack when that sailor dude said something like 'you think he has it all planned or do you think he makes it up as he goes along?' The films always felt that way to me, as if they were making it up as they went along, which strongly reflects Jack's character. I believe that is how it was meant to be. I always enjoyed that aspect about the films, too. It reminds me of the days when I used to play with action figures and I'd just start messin' around and come up with a completely ridiculous and often times entertaining story/idea. That's part of the film's charm. People are missing the points.

You think that they intentionally went ahead with a budget of 200 million and a half finished script just so they could do some petty symbolism as "it reflects his character"? Come on Dexter you're smarter than that.

The movie must've done something right if it got all of you talking about it.

I thought it was decent.

Did anyone else think when Elizabeth says "I don't think now is the best time," during the wedding scene was terrible acting? Of course, the wedding scene was pretty ridiculous overall.

a fun campy pirate romp has suddenly turned into a weird epic fantasy adventure bull**** cluster****.

sad

STALIN DID SOMETHING RIGHT, HE HAD ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE IN THE GULAGS TALKING ABOUT HIM!

[quote=Tiptoegecko;585190]And it turned out to be a decent movie. So HA!Snakes? It was awful. It's worse than The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's all a matter of seeing it with the right crowd.

What I disliked most is how the Kraken had a big role in 2 but in 3 it was reduced to nothing.

Becket had to make sure Jones wouldn't use it against him.

Disturbia wasn't that bad. Wasn't good, but wasn't as bad as recent horror/thriller movies.

Whatever, I'm still going to see this in a few days. Even if the story is lacking, Bloom and Depp on huge screen? I'm not complaining.

Although I did have trouble sitting through Kingdom of Heaven.

I'll laugh when someone says they won't go and see it cuz of this thread.

Fight the power Lisawangz.

what's that have to do with what you quoted him about?

Yeah, he is pretty stupid like that.

Vamp is stupid >:3

Can't help it. I've lived in Canada for too long.

Wolverine is Canadian and he isn't stupid.

No, he has ****ing claws coming out of his ****ing hands and an unbreakable skeleton.

Good point.

Well since you guys liked part 2 so much I thought you might like to know it got movie of the year last night at the MTV movie awards....And Johny Depp gives the worst acceptance speaches ever. Uh, I dont know what to say, uh, thank you? theres a good start *******.

Now that would be funny.

MTV doesn't deserve that M in its name.

Jack Sparrow is overrated. Even when the first film came out I couldnt understand why guys were springy rubbery ones over this character. Yeh he was cool and pretty funny, but not that funny.

they're just gonna make 20 more potc movies and make it old just like spiderman is doing right now.

Shut up.

okay, was it just me or did it seem like it was left open for a third? also, why the hell is elizabeth the pirate king? i saw the movie just got a little bored of it and lost intrest, the only part i really listened to was when jack was in davy jones locker and they were coming back.

That was the third. But yeah, they could make a fourth. I doubt they will, and if they do, I doubt Gore will be behind the camera.

I don't find that funny at all. High School is lame. You don't need to succeed in High School to succeed in life.

the horrible spelling in the thread title is hilarious.

"POTC 3 sucks" was a much more appropiate and accurate thread title anyway.

annnnnd changed back.

Sequels are supposed to take what the previous film contained and build upon it. The more radically they build upon it the better, I say. If they're going to do it again do it again extremely. They build the fantasy aspects up into epic proportions. In this regard they succeeded. Just because people didn't appreciate its style doesn't mean that it is a bad film. It was an exceptionally well made film from a technical point. People just didn't want it so extreme, so unreal.

Thats what I hated about the sequels. I mean, a sea ***? So stupid. So out of tone with the film. You went from a fantasy film where you could suspend your beleif to magical pirate wizards and sea ***desses. Poor.

Normally I have some great analytical spiel about the movies I see, but in this case, I'll just say that the movie was bullsh*t and I liked the second one. A bunch of "wouldn't it be cool" CG scenes and an occasional tolerable moment of movie, linked together by poorly plotted deus ex machinas, moments of cynically constructed pathos, and terribly ham-fisted attempts at humourjokes. I think if the writers were less confused the movie might have had some sort of coherence, but it was a bombastic, underwhelming mess. Geoffrey Rush stole the show, while I learned that there is such a thing as too much Johnny Depp. The whole thing felt cheap and manipulative, and I was sick of the ride on the SS Make Random Sh*t Up about the time they started blathering on about Calypso.

The fight scene was not awesome. Only Pirates 3 could bore someone during an action scene.

Agreed. I didn't care for the action scenes at all. What was supposed to be funny fights felt dull and dumb, even knowing it was targeted towards children. Perhaps too much? The action scenes in the first 2 were more interesting, but I really don't recall caring for those either.

I saw it two nights ago. I was okay, but it was horribly incoherent at times and terribly over the top at parts like the wedding during the fight scene. Then again, I didn't pay and I went with this girl I know, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it.

Did anyone actually know what the hell was going on? When we had a staff screening we became convined the technician laced the film reels up incorrectly because it was so confusing and incoherent.

Plot-holes. Pirates is filled him with.

kinda weird. the first film was a perfect mix of comic fun and serious action. The 2nd film I felt focused on more comic fun (hence Jack Sparrow's repeated poncy running). The 3rd film seemed to focus more on the serious action, lacking the comic set pieces that gave the first film its charm.

But I think they tied up the series quite nicely. Any story-basaed mistakes made in Dead Man's Chest seemed to be properly fixed, and the whole thing was nice to look at. Also, theres no reason to follow the exploits of Will Turner and Lizzy Swann anymore (then again there was no reason to do so at the end of the first film...but they still did it anyway :-(....)

Well...it was better than Spider-man 3! And it couldve done a lot worse!

Considering how *** awful Dead Mans Chest and At Worlds End were it's fair to say the enjoyment of the first installment was a complete accident.

I don't think so. The just got the formula right the first time and tried to do too much with the following sequels. They lost track of what made the first film such a success.

Jesus Christ nevermind
