But this movie? Bah. I found the plot to be a little hard to follow. So many things were going on at once that it just became white noise. Capt. Sparrow lost all of his charm and became more self centered. And I don't know where the infatuation with Swan came from. There really wasn't that much there in the first movie, so the second movie made me confused. Plus, I hate Swan now, the bitch. First she leaves her first fiance, and now apparently is drifting towards Jack and leaving Will behind... good lord. I really hated her walking out of the theater.
I felt no connection with these characters at all. Everyone could have died at the end and I wouldn't have batted an eye. It is as if the movie was constantly reminding me, "It's alright. You don't need to concern yourself with this." Disapointing to say the least.
And the connection between Will and his father felt more like a connection between a nephew and an Uncle, not to mention the fact that Bootstrap was the only crewmember that wasn't a CGI fish-monster. It kind of lost it's realism just having that starfish stuck to his face when everyone else were sharks and squids.
The first movie may not have been a hit with me, but it was still charming. This movie left me bored and frustrated.
