My Favorite Movies

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!

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 ;)

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

I was repeating "fucking beautiful" in my head thorough the movie. It looks good, it sounds good, there is just right amount of action and humour - and one watch won't definitely be enough!

I never watched the cartoon on TV, but this still hits right to the core for me.

The camera-angles are a bit shaky and blurry at times, but it gives the movie more speed and a sense of realism.

Even if some aspects of the story are definite clichés, and there aren't any real shocking revelations, it is still an enjoyable movie. Go and watch!

This is a movie everyone should see - especially if they were fans to the tv-series, "Firefly". This movie captures humour, action, drama and fluent story-telling in a one, good package.

A lovely, thrilling movie that you can watch without staring at the clock once in a while. Jared Leto is making a fine appearance, not to speak of his fellow actors.

I have not yet watched the longer cut, but I am sure it will fulfill the already perfect movie. Depth, dedication, faith - and the loss of it. Battle, cruelty, love, loyalty. What are we fighting for in this world? And is it really worth the fight - and the sacrifices?

The journey of Balian's turning from a blacksmith into a knight is portrayed as if it took only a while, but with some little common sense, we can imagine it took some time (as in reality it must have. When this matter is settled, the rest is one, enjoyable ride. Beautiful, bloody ride.

Like the book, I have never thought this part of the trilogy as the best. I became a fan due The Two Towers, even if I had seen this one in theatres. Though I have began to appreaciate this one too, after becoming a true Tolkien-fan. The beginning of the movie is slow, setting an image to the viewer's head. The appearance of the Nazgûl and Aragorn (Strider) is also a thrill, there! The difference between the world of Hobbits and the rest of the Middle-earth is also well portrayd during the first steps, and moreso in other parts. Later, after depart from Rivendell, there is a lot more action - and drama - in order. The main characters become known to us, and their personalities only deepen during the films. Again, I spurr you to see the extended edition! If not, enjoy this piece, and if you - like me - find yourself disappointed when the ending titles begin, go on and watch the other two parts! There, you won't be disappointed.

A perfect comedy, which can be watched time after time. The characters are hilarious - even if, naturally, somewhat surreal at places - and they awake situations that are irresistable to not laugh at.

Again, the group is out - and chaos follows (in a good way). New situations give new stage to the events - spiced up with new characters, like Zed (who with his voice shall endelight us later, too). A perfect sequel to the first movie.

More people - more fun. Now always, and some characters are just too unreal, but then again, so are the movies. It is nice to see some people who have been featured in previous films to take a place in this one, and throw their own sauce to the very strange soup... Perhaps not as good as the first two movies, but definitely not far behind. A nice chase in the end crowns the cake.

This movie rises as high as the third part, but it is perhaps a little tired already. Again, the plot is hilarious and the characters brilliant. This time, the chase of the end is taken to the sky - not bad, that, either.

In this movie, what appeals to me most is that finally the men are old and mature, touching (compared to the "The Three Musketeers" -movie). Especially D'Artagnan stole my heart. The story is amazing, the acting pure and talented - even Leonardo DiCaprio I can withstand, for once. A lot of plotting, secrets, decisions between friendship and personal desires, loyalty, duty and hatred... This is finest drama and action in one package!

A steady, captivating movie. There is no dizzying action, explotions, or dazzling special effects, but the movie manages to be one of the best I've watched recently.

The characters are introduced well, as are their lives and patterns. They grow thorough the movie - especially the brothers Terry (Farrell) and Ian (McGregor). In the beginning the first is a gambling man living on his luck, while the latter dreams big but it keeping his feet safely on the ground.

When the game gets tough, though, it is almost surprising who is going to grow a conscience, and who will bury their fellow men for their dreams.

Drama, love between brothers and family, and dreams close to coming true mingle in this film. Blood is thicker than water, they say; family is everything, they say here. 'How far; how long; how deep?', I ask.

I loved the ending, especially. After all the drama and hard (impossible) decisions, it all comes down into such basic things. Our big struggles in life are such a small thing in the eyes of the world.

I have not read the book, but maybe I'll have to, even if this story is something that I usually don't like.

The cast - magnificent. Acting: brilliant. The set, the music... flawless. Not to mention the story that drew out a tear from me in several places (and that is a rare occurrence).

Even if Jo's antics got me wondering once in a while, the story was never overly... well, anything. It was balanced, beautiful and heartbreaking, and basically just to TRUE. Especially when looking at Beth and her untimely death, that is just the course of the world.

This movie is on its funniest on a first watch, but then again, the funny scenes are just SO hilarious that the movie is enjoyable even after several re-views.

There is a plot in the story, the characters are tastefully introduced, Rowan Atkinson is amazing in his role, and all the necessary elements of a good movie are there.

It's all about chaos, really. Enjoyable, shamful, chaos.
