We walked out after 2 1/2 hours. Yes, it's THAT long, and it's THAT bad that the only reason I didn't leave sooner was that I could see it resolving in the next 15 minutes after an hour, so I just kept expecting it to end. Kiera Knightly was the only good thing about the whole movie. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

I haven't seen it (nor do I intend to) but heard that it has no plot. The person who told me about it said that it just keeps dragging on but never actually materializes into a story. :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

To each his own, I guess... I liked it. One thing I didn't realize going into the movie is that Pirates 2 and 3 are one big movie, not really two seperate movies. Josh Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have a back-ache...

Smitha wanted to see it - thanks to you, we won't be doing that - whew! I had to force her to see Superman Returns and she complained that it was way too long - which it was by the way :-) Regards, Nish

Yes, and I hated it. It was WAY to long; far too many scenes dragged on and on for no reason. All the editing in the movie was terrible. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

I liked it. Everybody told me it was very bad and I went in there expecting nothing. Although the story was weak, what do you expect from a pirate movie that began with all pirates being brought to justice save one. The story was eerily similar to Treasure Island. Could have been worse by using Fantasy Island. Zee plane, zee plane.

The first one is well worth the rental. I haven't heard one positive review from reviewers for the media. I expect than in a few months it will be on HBO five times a day so I'll wait.
I wish we'd checked some reviews, I could have seen Cars again instead - THAT would have been a good move. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

I've heard mixed reviews of Nacho Libre. You found it to be funny enough to recommend to others? :josh: My WPF Blog[^]
