It was a very sloppy movie. The editing and plot are kind of random. Especially "Blackbird"- had no relevance to the plot whatsoever. I felt the filmmakers threw in their favorite Beatles tunes and tried to make a movie out of it.
But they all have great voices! Martin Luther had the best voice and my favorite rendition in the film was "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
It sounds and looks great but it isn't when you dig a little deeper.
I watched it again...and realized I love the Gene Wilder version more. This one's still funny but the oompa loompas totally creep me out in this version!!!!!
Not too fond of dizzy crap but I HAD to see it. HAD TO.
Sure enough the camera gave me a horrible migraine and it took away my enjoyment.
BUT what I love is the mystery and how it doesn't answer lots of questions. The unknown is what can be the most frightening and it's what J.J. Abrams excels at!
LOVED IT! Realistic, witty, funny dialogue, authentic performances with a unique atmosphere and twist. All around feel good movie about a not-so feel good situation. A refreshing comedy.
It's just funny and very entertaining. LOVED the performances by Paul Bettany and Heath Ledger. An awesome medieval film with modern twists that work extremely well.
The ending with Willem Dafoe (along with the rest of the cast) lip syncing to that song was so hilarious because of how out of place it seemed. His film at the film festival made me laugh.
I'm a huge Rowan Atkinson fan. I liked this way better than Bean: The Movie.
I love the Ancient Egyptian culture so this movie fully satisified me. Certainly not a full blown history lesson but extremely entertaining. My friends and I quote it all the time.
It's getting vastly overrated. It's a good movie, it's just that everyone's SO frigging hyped up over it. The music is gorgeous and so is the animation and characters but still, Hot Topic ruins it.
I had a few problems with some of the plot points (Calypso and Elizabeth...wtf?) and Tia Dalma growing into some super tall giant? What?! LAME! It's also a tad too long...
I really liked the fact that Davy had more screen time than I had anticipated. Bill Nighy and Geoffrey Rush easily steal the spotlight.
And...BEST WEDDING EVER. Barbossa can host my wedding ANY day.
Will Smith is one of the BEST actors out there for this reason: he has that rare talent where he can successfully play both dramatic and comedic roles.
Eh. It's alright...it tends to make me sleepy. Paul Walker was the essence of lame. Gerard Butler saved the movie. Read the book. It's a million times better.
