You guys sound surprised? I hear it's even worse than the shite that is Pirates 2. You've only got yourself to blame for paying to see this crud
Kermode's rant was funny though, as was Mayo going to sleep during the Video Podcast

. Kermode is also the only other person I know who thought Pirates 1 rubbish.

I wasnt even a huge an of the 1st movie. Felt Depp was great, but Bloom was awfull in that. Story was OK although a bit too long, and the supporting cast was pretty mediocre for the most part.
Havent seen part 2, cause people said it was just a half movie cause they left everything open for part 3... and now part 3 is out and supposedly is very mediocre as well... so not sure if I'll watch the last 2 movies.
It's a shame really. The premise is just great, they had a huge budget and they had Depp in topform in a very well written role (although I believe most of his part can be credited to him and his way of playing it). But Orlando Bloom is just a sucky actor, and on top of that his character in the movie just totally sucks as well.
Knightly is OK I guess, although again the writing isnt great.
They could have and should have done so much better with this trilogy. It could have been a classic, but as it stands now, it seems like it's just a wasted opportunity.

No... who's surprised? My expectations were low to begin with.

Well I have a cineworld pass - the only thing I lost out on was 3 hours, which I could've spent watching another movie. But life is such a gamble these days.
