I actually thought the movie could have done better without that scene. Not only did I find it a little too "slapstick" for my taste, but it really prolonged the beginning of the movie; time that could have been spent delving further into the plotline (or simply making the movie a tad shorter). I actually found the first movie quite funny, while this one was a darker, more plot-heavy (but equally good) film. But oh well, to each his own.
'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,' hauled in a whole lot of doubloons this weekend, sailing straight past 'Spider-Man' to the biggest three-day opening in movie history. The film earned $135.6 million, easily besting the $114.8 million record previously held by Spidey's sticky fingers. In addition, 'Dead Man's Chest' earned $55.5 million on Friday alone -- crushing the $46.6 million its predecessor 'Curse of the Black Pearl' made in its entire opening weekend in 2003 AND surpassing the old single-day record of $50 million that until now belonged to 'Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith.'
Ark wrote:Loved it. Felt it was better then the first movie. [SPOILER]My fav part of the whole movie was Liz kissing Jack. At first I was like, oh this is lame. Then when you realise she dupped him...and he kinda just blankly looks at her and calls her a pirate....that was a really good scene.[/SPOILER]

On a related note (going only by the first movie), I didn't like Depp's character as much as everyone else in the world seemed to. Will was better. >:0

[SPOILER=Bootstrap Bill]Ok...Bootstrap had been a part of the first movie's curse. That's how he sent the coin to Will. So, when Barbossa and his crew threw Bootstrap overboard with the cannon strapped to his foot, he wouldn't have died, right? Since he was undead and all...But then, Will and Jack broke the curse, which would have brought Bootstrap back to life. If he was still underwater, though, he would have drowned. Does this mean he didn't join Davy Jones' crew until after the first movie? The one eyed pirate from Barbossa's crew mentioned that Bootstrap was "twice-cursed." So he definitely was a part of the curse of the Isle de Muerta. Unless I missed something, one could only technically join Davy Jones' crew after dying...right? Confusion~![/SPOILER]
Hopefully, they'll explain that in the third movie...XD

It was entertaining, action-packed, creepy, and there wasn't a single political agenda being pushed, as tends to happen nowadays. It was good. I dug it. My favorite scene HAD to be the waterwheel fight, though. The stuff with the Kraken was pretty rad, too. All in all, I enjoyed it. I want to see it again this week.

[spoiler](Hint: Who else was faithful enough to give him some Aztec Gold"?[/spoiler]Actually, I thought it was funnier and better then the first...I didn't care what kind of comedy it was, it was just there...as for those who didn't quite enjoyed the film, the thrid movie was also filmed at the same time...dyzzispell wrote:[SPOILER]How in the world did Barbossa come back??[/SPOILER]
Miso_Chan wrote:I thought the movie was horrible, especially when they [SPOILER]brought barbosa back from the dead.[/SPOILER] The only reason I went was to see Orlando Bloom. I have a bunch of LOTR posters hanging in my room of him. (he's SSSSOOOOOOOOOO cute!) he's sorta selling himself out though, i think. He's just trying to get in all these movies that turnout to be bad. (like pirates and Elizabeth town.)
Ark wrote:I am not a Bloom fan by any means...but his acting in Pirates is heads and shoulders over his stale pretzel acting in LOTR. (And I happend to love the LOTR movies as well)
Davy probably made the deal with Bill back while he was still undead, as a means of escape from a living hell. But now, the fishy zombieness is still in effect despite the skeleton zombie curse being lifted.
