Hmmm...
You guys seen Pirates yet? I saw it Thursday and really enjoyed it. I was just wondering how you guys liked it. Apparently it has more backlash against it than Spider-Man and Shrek combined, which I feel is waaaaayyyyyy less deserved than Spider-Man. It seems that people have set some kind of outrageous standards for summer action movies nowadays, which I really don't think applies to the Pirates movies since they've done the unthinkable and added history/mythology/sea-lore to an otherwise brainless franchise. It really irritates me. Oh well. I guess people want to have to think, but just a little.

I haven't seen it yet, but round these parts the backlash against Spidey has been pretty harsh. I'll provide more comment when I have seen Pirates 3...
I saw Pirates the Saturday after it came out. To be honest, it could have been shorter, but I never *really* stopped enjyoing it. I've always gotten bored about 3/4 of the way through the Pirates movies, though. That, and I'm glad they tried to make it less weighty and serious than the second one. The humorous bits were what made the first one decent- my favorite part is by far the section where Sparrow is in the Locker. It's not the Jedi of the trilogy until the very end, which is very impressive. They managed to put everything that they wanted in the movie before making the studio happy with a big battle sequence. It's the best of the "3's" this summer, in short.
word.
