Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
I know this has nothing to do with Iraq, politics or the ME, but life goes on...
Today, trying to keep the kids happy during the Summer School Holidays, we decided to watch a movie at the local Cinema. My Daughter wanted to watch another Computer Generated Cartoon movie (they seem to have more and more of these each day), My Son wanted to Watch Nacho Libre, to keep the Peace, my sanity and everybody amused, I decided instead to watch, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
We’ve already seen the first movie and thought it would be fun, if it was more of the same. My kids enjoyed the first movie so much, that we even bought the DVD so that we can watch it whenever we want.
But, boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, was I wrong this time…. This is the first movie that seem to suck and blow at the same time. It is just wrong on so many levels and I just don‘t know where to start… Could it be the bad/non existent story line that they've tried to milk for 3 hours? Or, is it the shallow characters? Or even, the incoherent dialogue?, Or is it the premise of a third instalment - I think it’s the combination of all these.
On the plus side, the acting was not that bad, nor were the effects and stunts, but nothing special this day and age.
We left the theatre sad that we’ve lost 3 hours of our lives on this drivel, happy to be still sane and alive, bored to tears, and wished that we‘ve watched something just plain stupid, like Nacho Libre, with the odd laugh, instead.
Rating – 1 Banana (I don’t know what that means, but its really, really bad – or absolute rubbish – try to avoid at all costs)….
And to sum up the movie, there is a memorable quote from it that goes
“No! If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?”
