Tonight Franklin and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At Worlds End. The last time I went to the movies was for Pirates 2 with Nes and JK and I was totally disappointed because I really enjoyed the first movie. I thought the 2nd one was too long and they tried too hard, it was missing the magic of the first one. If it wasn't for the fact that the 2nd one ended on a cliffhanger and I was craving movie theater popcorn I would have waited to see it. I have to say, I'm glad I didn't wait. The reviews have been very mixed, I fall into the love it category. This movie was as long as the 2nd movie but it didn't FEEL long. So many people betray each other you have you need a chart but it's so funny with scenes that make you laugh out loud, scenes that make you cringe and some that make you hide your eyes (OK, just me, LOL). Jack was definitely back and I just loved him in this movie and I have to say Orlando has beefed up some, this was the most manly I've seen him and he was hot. I'm not a big fan of Keira but I really enjoyed her character in this film, she kicked ass and her mouth didn't bother me that much (I just hate the way she talks for some reason).
If you didn't like the 2nd one and were leery about seeing this, I say go for it. Franklin hadn't seen either of the previous movies and he enjoyed it too. We're going to rent the first 2 when I get back and then go back and see it again since I didn't really remember much from the 2nd movie.
Now the disappointing part is the movie theater was not stadium seating and they didn't have the flavored popcorn seasonings I enjoy so much. As long as I've been craving this and they didn't have it, what a bummer! I will have to put more pre-planning into my next movie going experience. I need the stadium seating, I'm a shifter and need as much room to move as possible!
8 Mannions Speak :
Whew! Chick! I was afraid to read on because I thought you were going to write some spoilers. LOL.
JK and I are going to watch it tonight too. I can't wait. Aaaaw I remembered you were here the last time we saw no. 2.
Fuck, I miss you. It was a great summer for sure. :)
I was one that hated #2 and said I would wait until #3 came out on DVD, but Ryan went with his friends to see it last night and said it was good and I need to go see it. He was dying to tell me about it so I said go ahead, so I've heard a little about what happens. Nothing he said really made alot of sense, but his tone was excited as he told it, so I said I guess I'd go see it in the theater then.
Glad you went and enjoyed it and got your popcorn!
I was scared about spoilers too LOL. I can't wait to see this, it's definitely one of the 3 movies I will see in the theatre this year. I don't think you can fully appreciate Captain Jack on a 27" TV screen, you know? Thanks for the review!
How was the popcorn?
We're going to see it at the matinee today. I'm glad to hear it was so good and especially the part about a beefed up Orlando! He's always been just a mite on skinny side, but still appealing.
We're going to eat at the Ryan's that serves steak right before we go to the movie which will cost about as much as popcorn & cokes at the theatre. LOL
I hope I enjoy it as much as you did.
Went to Annette's last night & played with her karoke. I had to do Wild Thing again, because you know I can't sing. I threw in some hip gyrations and butt wiggles, and nobody noticed I can't sing because they were too busy laughing at me trying to be sexy and seductive! Hahahah!
Maybe I just need practice....
(nah, won't work)
Chow, Chick ;o)
LOL, since the movie was new I knew a lot of people hadn't seen it so I didn't want to spoil it for them, that and the fact, so much happens I couldn't begin to even tell you. You will need the intermission though. I totally had to go pee and when I went another movie had let out so I was in line! I can't believe it's been almost a year! How crazy is that? I miss you too chick!
Missi, I think you'll have fun watching it in the theater. Don't you love kids when they're enthusiastic?
LOL Libby, I love how you and Nes were worried about spoilers yet kept reading! The popcorn was a bit of a disappointment, unfortunately. I guess that's a good thing, if it was better I'd be going back for it again.
Ryan's was great, and yes, your meal will cost as much as the popcorn and drink! You guys will have fun at the movies. I can totally picture you gyrating, totally hilarious!
I liked the second one,although I do think it was missing the panache of the first.I'd love to see #3 in the theater,I'll have to try & talk hubs into it.The only disappointment I've ever felt at Pirates was that she fell for Will instead of Jack,LOL.I had hopes in the second one that she might be with Jack.What can I say,Capt.Jack just does it for me *G* A beefed up Orlando sounds good,too,he is way too skinny.
Love the pic girl!
Thanks for no spoilers. I would have had to cut off your porn supply if you'd have spoiled LMAO
I loved the second movie. Not as much as the first, but still loved it. I'm a sucker for this type of movie and Orlando LOL He was awesome in Kingdom of Heaven. If you haven't seen it, I recommend the extended version. The stuff the cut out of the theatrical version does take away some of the story. My point though, is that Orlando put on 20 lbs of muscle for that movie and it's so worth it.
Bo, you like the bad boys, LOL. I do see the appeal of Capt Jack when he's being played by Johnny Depp!
Hey GOP, I got my porn today, woo hoo! I will be sleeping well tonigt, EG! A manlier Orlando is definitely nice!
