Off to see the second Pirates movie (insert massive squeeage here) in about 10 minutes. Will put down ramblings later in this same entry. *doesn't like wasting space ;) :P*


*bounces off humming the 'He's A Pirate' tune from the end of the first Pirates movie* :D



ETA:

I personally thought this one was alright. There was something missing that was there in the original but I can't place it. Really I don't know what possessed them to make a sequel but hey....I did laugh throughout though so that's gotta count for something! ;) Some memorable moments then:

- James Norrington, scruffy = ♥ + me foaming at the mouth on occasion heh heh *ahem* But he looked lovely ;)

- The 3-way sword fight was hilarious and the whole wheelie thing as well with poor Jack chasing after it and getting caught up in it hee hee! ♥

- "Bugger..." XD :P

- I liked the fact that they used pretty much all of movie 1's soundtrack to get back into the mood of things. After all, it's been 3 years since the original and I love the piratey feel to the music so yeah.

- Liked the special effects & loved Davy Jones & his crew, plus the giant tenticles. I really liked how we first see the tentacles taking out the ship that picked Will up when he escaped off Jones' ship; mainly the camera angles shot facing up so you really felt that you were looking up at those giant suckers :)

- Davy Jones himself - what a cool villain, being some sort of weird sea creature with an octopusy type thing for a face. Was it just me or did anyone else see Bill Nighy from time to time in those eyes (yes I know it was him but like really see traits of him there, like seeing Andy Serkis in Gollum)? o.O

- Nice to see Pintel & Ragetti back again, and behaving themselves (i.e. working with/alongside Jack + co.)!!

- Tia was awesome :D

- Will getting bitch-slapped hahahah!!

- Jack: "Elizabeth! These clothes do not flatter you at all! It shall be a dress or nothing, and I happen to have no dress in my cabin..." *snerk*

- The Jack/Elizabeth kiss O.O J/E = OTP anyone?

- Jack talking to the natives about Will: "Eunchy snippy snippy" (and doing the 'snip' motion with his fingers XD).

- Jack: *singing in the nah nah nah-nah nah tone* "I got a jar of diiiirt, I got a jar of diiiirt, and guess what's in it!" ROFL.

- Bill Turner/Bootstrap :) I really hope that Will is able to save him in the 3rd installment.

- Jack running & screaming like a girl whilst being chased by the cannibals - HEE!! ♥

- Jack shooting the crow on 'his' coffin & apologising to its dead inhabitant for using its skeletal foot as an oar.

- The Black Pearl's crew doing an OMGWTF?!!! look on learning that their rum will be used as explosives, ROFLMAO!!

- Will: (talking about getting Jack's compass)"...then I'll return here to marry you."
Elizabeth: "Properly."
Will: "Eagerly, if you'll still have me."
Elizabeth: "If it weren't for these bars, I'd have you already."
(Governor Swan breaks a candle off the wall in shock) XD

- Jack decapitating the hermit crab-like crew member of Davy Jones with a coconut & the head attempting to get into contact with the body again whilst it walks straight into a palm tree. *sniggers*

- Jack: "How did you get here?"
Will: "I strapped two sea turtles to my feet." (Nice little nod to film 1)

- Jack Sparrow:(to Will) "Mind the boat."
Will Turner: [to Gibbs] "Mind the boat."
Gibbs: [to Ragetti] "Mind the boat."
Ragetti: [to Pintel] "Mind the boat."
Pintel: [to an anonymous sailor] "Mind the boat."
Sunburned Sailor: [to Marty] "Mind the boat."
Marty: [to Cotton's parrot] "Mind the boat."
Cotton's Parrot: [to Cotton] "Mind the boat."

- Jack: "Guard the boat, mind the tide...don't touch my dirt."

- Barbossa appearing at the end; I was not expecting that at all!! I was expecting it to be Jack (who else, but then didn't everyone?) somehow and another 1/2hr or so of the film left! Loved the line (something like) "So tell me: what's become of my ship?" & then takes a bite of a green apple with the juice trickling down his chin and then the credits start rolling - sheer genius!!

Yay! Have fun!

And this is totally random, but I had a dream I was at some movie premiere or something and David Caruso was there so I got his autograph for you, but I couldn't remember what your real name was so when he asked me my friend's name I was at a total loss. :p

Hahaha, isn't that REALLY weird??

Okay, so I started reading your review of the movie and didn't get past the first point because - *guh*!

Don't you just wanna jump new and improved semi-piratey Norrington? (Well, okay maybe jump him AFTER he's *a bit* cleaned up, but you know what I mean... The scruffiness and all! *swoon* )

First time I saw the movie, sure I went in for Will, but I came out thinking about Norrington and looking most forward to seeing him again.

Second time I went to see it - same thing!

Tomorrow's going to be my third time and he is, once again, what I am looking forward to most.

Oh how I wish he could be just a little bit less ice cream cone and a little more sexy scruffy pirate in the next one...

Now back to your review. :p

Hee hee! I can think of a few things I wanna do to him! ;) *steals yummy piratey!Norrington* :p Hee, he's a right wee bit different though from the first movie. I think he was maybe a little bit too pompous for my liking but after seeing DMC I was like "Helloooo handsome!" He's definately one to watch out for! :D

I went to see the movie without a lot of expectations and did enjoy it. I didn't even find it long like some people. Actually my reaction was more of a "Noooo, I want some more!"

I noticed Barbossa's boots in the back room when they went to see Tia Dalma the first time, but had no idea who they might belong to. It wasn't until the end of the movie that I connected the two things together. I wondered if Jeffrey Rush credit in the second movie was a mistake when I first checked it out on imdb. LOL!!

Same here! I SO thought it was Jack coming down the steps somehow & that there was like, another half an hour to go but Barbossa just appearing like that made my jaw hit the floor, but I liked that, that I totally didn't see that coming at all! And yeah I also noticed a pair of boot-clad feet in Tia's earlier but assumed it was a customer! LOL!

I liked it ok but didn't realize it was a bridging sequel which set up multiple story arcs. Hopefully, the latter will be resolved in POTC3, which I intend to see (though not my husband who thought POTC2 was a big waste of time). I found myself looking for Norrington and then wondering where he went. The third installment will be good, if it has lots of Captain Jack, Norrington, and Barbossa.

I hadn't read anything about POTC2 and had only seen the trailer showing Davy Jones (who looked like a very cool villain) before heading out to the movie.
