We screened the third installment of the Pirates adventures. Yes, it was good. No, Keith Richards' Captain Teague is not worth the all the hype brought on by the months and months of publicity. Yes, everyone is still yummy and beautiful as they have been in the past. No, I'm not going to give any spoilers away because there are those people that absolutely hate that. Yes, I'll stop with this stupid method because it's annoying me as well.
All of those that watched it said it is worth it. Understand that this movie is three hours long. I'm left with some unresolved things which I hate in a movie; and not in that "oh, that can be left in the fourth film of this series" type of unfinished business. I guess how the story goes with Davey Jones went the way it did intentionally but eh, not done. To me the entire series is a predictable yet fun ride....let us not forget that millions of dollars have been earned based upon a mediocre ride at Disney World so plot development and character building are for really superfluous.
I think with each movie after the original, Johnny Depp's Sparrow is just icing on the cake. His screen time seems to shorten with the sequels although billed as extremely important. Had anyone noticed this in the second film? The other characters' story lines and development have become much more prevalent. Intentional? Perhaps. This latest (wouldn't say last) film has Sparrow's appearances as garnish. He emphasizes points. Sparrow is integral but the lack of Depp-time proves a murderer can be found guilty without the presence of a body.
It is still a fun movie that WILL do very well in the theaters. And again, I will not be surprised with another sequel in a couple of years.
I may have more to say once the movie has been out this weekend. Eh, probably not. Just enjoy!
