Two thumbs up.  Lots of great swordplay. Excellent summer flick.
Orlando looks great, even in one scene where they seem to have dressed him as Captain Feathersword.

Not out in our neck of the woods yet. I am looking forward to it though. And Hidalgo. And The Big Empty. If they ever make their way down here...
do. (who's crushed Equilibrium never did)

Sigh,
Watching POTC only made me long for December when ROTK finally comes out. And that will be a very excellent month because POTC will also be out on DVD then too.  Guess I will be get a double dose of Orlando.

I agree! POTC was a hit! It was a bit long, and I think it could have been edited much shorter, but the action sequences were superb! I especially loved the part where the pirates were walking under the water, and also when Johnny Depp and.....( I forgot his name)...the bad guy are fighting and they go in and out of moonlight, changing from skeleton to human. It was great. Orlando was amazing.  My Da and Mum both agreed that he is an excellent actor. I hope that "Troy" and "RotK" are just as good!

Yes, this looks rather good in the trailer. Looking forward to see it here in the Land Down Under. <sigh>

As one who is forced to sit through at least 2 episodes of The Wiggles per day, that just made me laugh my butt off! You must have kids, too. It could be worse, they could be watching that d*mned purple dinosaur.
Pirates of the Carribean was great. Living as close as I do to Disney World, I've done the ride far more times than I can count and the little tidbits in the movie that came straight from the ride had me doulbed over. And the swordfights, sigh, I'm a total sucker for a good swordfight. |

Amen to that! I'm in Disney's back yard, and this film definitely plays well around here. Not to mention, the soundtrack is sold out everywhere in the city of Orlando; I finally gave up and ordered it off Amazon.com. 
Dare I admit that I've seen it four times already, and am contemplating a fifth? Love the lovely swordfights, love the lovely pirates. |

Nice to know I'm not the only addict! The only way I got a copy of the soundtrack was to sweet-talk my best friend into burning a copy for me. She works in Tampa, and got it there. I had looked all over freaking Polk county and couldn't find one. |

No, not the only addict at all. Jen mentions she's seen it 4 times, but she didn't say that # 3 and #4 were with me. On the same day. And I'm already looking forward to the DVD.

Sigh. I used to do movie marathons. I can't anymore, not with the one year old. LOL, when the DVD does come out my hubby will be as sick of it as he is of the extended version of FOTR. I do plan on seeing it at least a couple more times in the theatre, though.  |

Yes! I admit it! Saw the film TWICE in one day! But what better way to celebrate finally getting to meet one of my best online friends and cowriter than by looking at beautiful men on a big screen? We went to see the 1pm, and when the credits started, Ell said "Yeah, I need to see that again." So we shopped and had dinner  and saw it again.
And I covered Orange County looking for the CD, and now Polk County's covered too. Waiting impatiently for my amazon order...

I had ordered a copy of the soundtrack from Amazon, but gave up because they said it was on backorder of one to two weeks. So I hiked my butt to Best Buy and got the one and only copy of the POTC soundtrack that they had in the store. What awesome music. I listen to it twice a day. Makes me want to see the movie - again and again and again. The music reminded me of the Gladiator soundtrack vaguely and surprise, surprise, Hans Zimmer had a hand in producing the soundtrack. And since I love the Gladiator soundtrack, that is not a bad thing at all.

| Aha! Hans Zimmer had something to do with it? That explains agreat deal. I love his stuff, I have almost every score he's done going back to 'Backdraft.' LOL, for those who don't know this, I alway write to music and Hans Zimmer scores are great for writing battle scenes. |

I totally agree with you about that. There is just something that is majestic which stirs the blood and makes you want to write a terrific fight scene after listening to music by Hans Zimmer. The fight scenes that I have written for the as yet unpublished FrankenFic were totally created while listening to the Gladiator soundtrack.
