itchythesamurai Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 But would have removing the corset altogether resulted in a better movie...? A question for the ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Frankly, I think we were lucky to just have the corset line, what with Jerry "Pear Harbor" Bruckheimer producing. It could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scabb Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Any reason, or do you just not like POTC (or think the sequels going to be crap?) Just didn't excite me! Although I'm still expecting it to be ace. Oh, and David Boreanaz is way hotter than Deppo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elTee Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 A review is in. Kind of what I expected really, but I still think I'm gonna enjoy myself to death when I go to see it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Indeed, just got through reading it, and while I generally trust empire, I have found them to sometimes differ on my own opinions so I won't go totally on what they say and I still think I'll enjoy it. Plus we still have a 3rd installment to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I say, I say Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Jack Sparrow definately has one of the best entrances in terms of our modern-day heroes; no-one can beat him coming into the bay on a sinking rickety little ship. Powerful scene as well as absolutely hilarious; I think thats one of the great factors about POTC, it can be fairly powerful at times but its all mixed with great humour.

elTee Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Apparantly they've, if not topped, at least matched that entrance in the new movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Here's another early review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well, that guy seemed to like it, but like Empire, thought it was a bit too long, which just goes to show the dangers in summer movies. You're average summer movie shouldn't be any longer than around 2 hours, if not less... but I'm not about to go into a screenwriting debate with anyone because I get enough of that elsewhere. I guess it's all down to differing opinions and I still have high hopes for the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yeah, but I remember the hubbub about Curse and how much it was like Monkey island. Now granted, this does have a few more similarities (voodoo lady) but then it turned out that the first film... well yeah, it kept the similarities (island no one could get to, skeletal crew, governess, voodoo root... no wait), but it was still a pretty decent movie. Plus, where would we be without movies ripping off other things ("Seven Samurai" er... "Maginficent Seven" anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think Ron's just sulking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yeah, I think that too. I understand some of the Empire viewpoint, but to be fair - there is MASSIVE expectations of this film. Just please god don't let it be 'Matrix Reloaded'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I think Ron's just sulking. Actually, in the recent interview on Gamespot, he said he'd rather enjoyed the first (went in with low expectations for the obvious reason, it's based on a theme park ride, came out quite happy), so he's probably just playing his Grumpy Gamer bit. Hopefully I'll get to see it sometime this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien426 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Read The Grumpy Gamer Speaks on Gamasutra for some vague references to the game that Ron searches a publisher for. Nice comparisons to movie studios and indie films. Bottom line: Ron hates you for going to see this blockbuster movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Question, if Jack Sparrow, at some point in the movie, did say something along the lines of "That's the second biggest _____ I've ever seen", would we think of it as stealing, or an homage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'd call it a reference. No? "That's the second biggest _____ I've ever seen"He should also add silently "Note to myself: need two of those second biggest _____s I've ever seen to mark the spot!" That would make the audience go bonkers, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchythesamurai Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Stealing all the way. There's no chance anyone professionally affiliated with PotC would acknowledge Monkey Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
