Two out of three movies out of the way already.
I actually was really happy with the first one. They did a good job with the fencing. I was delighted that they mentioned the footwork, which proved to me that they knew what they were doing when that was choreographed.
The second one was good, but there were a few things I didn't like about it. They made the rum joke way too much, it got old pretty fast. I also didn't like the Jack/Elizabeth fanservice, that was totally random.

I didn't feel the fanservice was COMPLETELY random. It served a purpose, even if it were a minor one.

I really enjoyed the second one, but it can't beat the first. I started to dislike Elizabeth in the second one (though she did have some pretty funny scenes) and the movie was soooo long. It might have been better if they cut off about thirty minutes. But it isn't such a big deal since the last scene had Barbossa showing up and all of a sudden you were interested completely. Was that on purpose? lol
Did anyone else think, "Wow, he's clean," when they first saw Barbossa? After all the things you see in that movie seeing him made me think that. xD "Hey, he took a shower!"

True, it did serve a purpose. But it was fanservice. D:
Yeah, I started to dislike her as well. Although, I have to admit, I could totally see myself throwing rocks the way she did at the three of them fighting.
And I have to say this: Norrington. Oh. My. God. <3 He was totally wicked in the second movie!

I usually hate to double-post, but I don't think anyone will mind.
Has anyone seen the trailer for the third movie yet?

I've never seen either of the movies. XD I'm a tad interested, but I'd rather wait until it's popularity dies down a bit. I have this thing about mainstream movies, anime, games, etc. XD

Yeah, I know what you mean.
The POTC fad should be out when another mainstream movie comes out anyway. I think they did a good job blending fantasy with historical fiction though.

Yeah, I've heard that they're great movies (possibly why they ARE mainstream XD). It's kind of nice considering there haven't been many good American movies released for a couple years.

Yes, really. I hate when you hear awesome reviews from a lot of random people about a movie, and then it turns out to be... well, a lack of substance.
