I actually liked Keira Knightley in this movie - which is pretty good.

The movie is visually challenging at places, as is the plot between "this happened" and "oh no it didn't". But the push and pull would work really well after another watch or two, I'm sure.

All in all, the movie is a bit chaotic and crude - which works really well for this piece.

Not overly dazzling or brilliant movie, but definitely worth watching.

The movie looks good, the acting is fine, there isn't unnecessary romance forced into the plot, and overall, the movie expresses the darker side of the Batman-movies.

And I rather like Bale as Batman. He did a fine work as the caped crusader.

A weird, strange, odd movie as only Johnny Depp can make it. (I now can see where the chicken performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is coming from *laughs*)

Anyway, if there was any plot in this surreal movie, I totally missed it. By the end of the movie I began to hope there would be something in there, but... not really.

The characters just sail through the movie without making much sense.

A sort of "bland" movie - not bad, and not overly good either.

The movie looks great, the acting is convincing, and the child-actors don't quite capture their roles as early teens, but that's nothing new. There is no actual growth into a hero to be found in young Will, though they try and make it look like so (it just isn't that convincing).

The movie is not bad, though. I haven't read the books, so I can't tell how they compare against each other. This one merely makes me want to shrug and go on without much to say.

The two stars come solely from the beautiful look of this movie, and the fighting sequences. That's about all there is to see in this movie; they have been done very well.

The plot: in 1.5 hours we get a sort of fast forward play of all that is going on when it comes to the plot - and when it comes into character chemistry and growth, I think that was missed those completely. The "romance" in this movie is so lame it shouldn't even be there.

Also, what are the chances of a full scale military fight taking place in LA before the city being even partially evacuated? Okay, let's ignore that, and enjoy the Godzilla-like angles with helicopters flying amongs the tall buildings shooting pretty dragons.

I'm also still trying to figure where the movie jumped for its last, climatic scene, but... let's look at the pretty dragons again, shall we? (and thank you for not making the end scene completely sappy...)

Frankly, the movie was too short. When the final fight began to take place, I leaned back on my seat and cursed in my mind that the film was going to end soon!

This movie looked good, sounded good, was funny in all the right places, moved well and was all in all pretty perfect - though, alas, the fun didn't last forever.

Only weird thing was probably the attempted chemistry between Mr. Stark and Ms. Potter (Jarvis/Stark worked much better in my opinion :P), but that can be easily ignored with everything else taking place on the screen. (And of course there is the matter of Nick Fury: I have nothing against Samuel L. Jackson, but... why did they have to make Fury black? I'm not being a racist, just wondering...)

All in all, I'm waiting a possible sequel with huge anticipation! Even if they wouldn't manage to make it as good as this first one, it would still definitely be worth the watch!

Robert Downey Jr. made an amazing job in this one. Nothing more needs to be said. Go watch it.

This is my favorite in the trilogy - aside The Return of the King. The extended edition beats the theatre-version, as expected, but it doesn't make much difference in a review: this is more about action than the first movie. The scenes are magnificent, the battles breath-taking, drama believable and heart-wrenching. The humour between the characters is also worth notice. Watch this, and fall in love. If not, at least you know what you are disliking ;)

Now this film is something you watch again. And again... and again... Hilarious, full of twists and turns, and you just can't get bored of it. Orlando Bloom's character has a lot to grow, but all in all, this is a film I would tell everyone to see!

Yo ho! Here we go again! A sequel of "Black Pearl", and a good one of that. There is no longer a fear that the third part would be bad, either: the second is a definite success! The movie is long, perhaps, but the way it is cut makes it feel rather short. It is also confusing, at times, but the plot explains itself pretty quickly, filling out the gaps it might have left - and there is always chance for a second fiew, which no doubt shall make the movie all the better. With some extensions, I would rate this movie with 6 starts, if possible. Captain Jack is indeed back - as promised - the ever "charming" himself; but he has less screen-time than one might think. In the true spotlight, we have William Turner (Orlando Bloom), who makes an amazing performance. His character is finally given the well-earned depth. There is great humor to be experienced, swift turns in the plot, intense action that has little breaks without turning boring at any point, amazing visual look - and already familiar characters that we all love - or hate. Go, see, enjoy!

I still think that the extended versions are better than these short ones, but... Even as a "cut" one, RotK is still a breath-taking film! Massive fighting scenesed and great drama. Though at some places, the emotional shock of characters is more amusing than heart-breaking... Ending part of the trilogy - and that place is never an easy one. The ending was probably a little too long (with all the fake-endings), and I wished to see so much more that was entirely left outside - even from the extended version. Still, my favorite LotR-movie, aside The Two Towers.

If you didn't much care for the previous parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, I don't think you should go and see this. Then again, if you are a fan, this is definitely a treat for you! Much different than the ealier movies. The plotting gets a lot ahead of the viewer at times (nothing a second watch can't fix,). The beginning is pretty shocking (and so is the end, but in a very different way), but don't feel discouraged by that. Keep watching. The movie just doesn't get boring, even if some of the fighting scenes are really drawn out. If you are even slighly interested, this is a very good way to spend three hours of your evening. Special note towards Orlando Bloom's Will: he was a total surprise in this movie, even if the end wasn't as shocking as it could be (there are rumors, yes, and I've heard a lot of them). The end, however, is very stylishly made! My applauses for that - and deepest thanks for not ruining it with the traditional way (well, they still do in a way, if you watch the scene after the ending titles). Ye have been warned!

A movie that definitely makes you think. The only pretty things are the lies set to block the view of those who are not supposed to see the truth. The only consolation might be that Yuri finally finds his consciense in the end, just a little - even if the cost is the death of one he loves, and being abandon by the rest. That doesn't mean he wouldn't go on; we all have our personal drug we cannot get rid of... In Yuri's case, I think it's more than that. The story narrative is littered with irony, sarcasm, and dry humor. The story begins from the end, then goes back to the beginning, and from there it unfolds with ruthlessness that cannot be compared with anything else but reality itself.
