TOTALLY!
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
It was AWESOME. I loved every minute of it. I loved how it had a much darky tone, yet it was, at the same time, light and funny. It was better than the first, in my opinion. It had a lot more action. The kraken, the fights with the flying duchman, and the three way sword fight. I thought it was neat how they would have about five action sequences going at once. It was wild, nonstop all the way through.
And it had a GREAT ending. Barbossa walks down and says "What'd become of my ship?" and then takes a bite out of an apple. Brilliant. I wanted to applaud. Actually, I did.
I think we've got something like the Star Wars trilogy going on here. Great first movie, better second one. It's so rare to have this happen. Dead Man's Chest made Curse of the Black Pearl look mild in comparrison. The third film has a helluva lot to live up too.
And it had TWO cliffhangers. Norrington handed over the heart to stuffy bad guy, (can't remember his name) and Jack being eaten by the kraken. It was so great where Jack seemingly faces death without fear in the end, and goes down with his sword drawn. I can't wait until next summer.

There was a gaggle of college-aged chicks, but *everyone* was surprisingly well-behaved in the theater today, it blew my mind, there were none of the usual people that ruin a movie by talking on the phone or freaking out for no reason.
The crowd laughed at all the right places and were quiet when it was appropriate, they all even clapped at the end. I usually don't feel that energy any other place than midnight shows full of fervent fans...it was quite amazing.

Seriously, why would you bring a little kid to a POTC film? They're very gritty and violent, not to mention intense. (DMC more so.)

Be on alert for spoilers. Ye shall tread no further than this point! ARrrr!
Like I said, I don't remember the first movie much at all, so the characters and continuing story were pretty much lost on me, except for a few exceptions. But the action was good, the Bootstrap Bill scenes were fun, and the swordfight on the water wheel, while a bit far-fetched, was quite entertaining. I also loved the eunich joke, because I'm just a fan of eunich jokes. But I agree that it had that Empire Strikes Back feel to it. I could see the cliffhanger ending coming. The only thing I regret not seeing in this movie is Will confronting Elizabeth about her kissing Jack. I almost wanted to see Will not agree to search for Jack at the end of the movie, just to show how pissed off he was. The CG was really quite impressive, and I didn't find myself thinking about the special effects like I would with the Star Wars prequels, even when it came to Davy Jones most of the time.
So, yeah. It was a fun movie, and I can't wait to rub my girlfriend's nose in it... if she can stop her gushing long enough to listen to me, that is. ^_~

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

It spends far too long going absolutely nowhere to be considered a good film. But it is far to gol-durn entertaining to be called anythign less than a MASTERPIECE.

(but take that with a grain of salt because this is coming from the same girl who wasn't all that thrilled about the Lord of the Ring's movies either. Pfftt... and I call myself a nerd.)

Probably from critics who hate it for the fact that it'll do better box office than Superman Returns.

I mean, I saw the first movie but I wasn't all that impressed. I was at a sleep over with a friend 2 years ago when I saw it, but there you go. And this movie just seems to be raking in the fans but again...I must just not be into pirate movies or Johnny Depp. Same thing with Lord of the Rings. I saw the movies in the theater but that was it. I don't own the DVDs nor do I really care about Orlando Bloom.
Pirates and Wizards. Whatever.

a) Pirates are cool
b) A good pirate film hasn't come out in decades
c) It intermixed horror themes
d) It was Orlando Bloom's next film after Lord of the Rings (and I think people wanted to see if he could pull it off outside of Legolas)
e) It had Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom for the womens, and Keira "hotness" Knightley for the lads
f) Johnny Depp's characterisation of Jack Sparrow was outrageously funny and larger than life
g) Geoffrey Rush is a brilliant character actor as well
h) the first movie was just a plain good film
i) Nostalgia related to the old Disneyland ride of the same name (which I thought was crap, but the kids probably loved it so anyone who rode it as a child would still have fond memories of it)
Now, I'm not saying you have to agree with all these points, but it should be easy to understand why it did so well and spawned a few sequels.

This was a hell of a fun movie.
I have to see it again. It reminded me a lot of that star wars vibe i get when watching the crazy stuff and drama we see in the original trilogy afterwhich this sight was dedicated. dazzling swashbuckling action coolness awesome villains from beginning to end, and much like ESB, the fates of our heros are uncertain. I loved it. I hope Jack's ok...

And the draw to pirates isn't hard to understand at all. It's simply a fun, action film, fun being the key words. I've never had so much fun watching a movie in a theater than when I've seen the pirates movies. I can also understand why some people don't like them, and everyone can have thier opinions.
