This looks to be the BEST installment yet to the Pirates of The Caribbean films. Ian McShane, Penelope Cruz, and Geoffrey Rush back as Captain Hector Barbossa.

Looks like I will be busy with Pirate Coat/garb orders, making sail and ready for the voyage May of 2011. I want to make Penelope Cruz's hat! I have the pattern in my stash. I like her garb in the movie.

How exciting! I'm definately ready for a new installment of the series.

I was worried when i heard they were going for 4 but after seeing the trailer i was super excited. Personally I thought the last one was terrible and the second one was okay. I am glad they are moving away from Elizabeth and Will and focusing entirely on Jack. ABOUT TIME!

REally hoping Ragette will be in this one, i havent looked to see.

Looks good! I think I'm excited against my will...

I went to this on Saturday.  Among the biggest wastes of time I ever sat through.  Even in 3-D it was pointless and boring with too many subplots.  A good editor could have easily shortened it by a third without losing anything. I hope they do not come out with a POTC5.

Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago....it wasnt TOO bad but definitely not as good as I expected.

[Kruzar]

It is somewhat surprising to me that this movie has gotten bad reviews.  I have actually seen the movie in the theatre twice in 3D and on the IMAX.  To me it was not as good as the first, but better than the 2nd and 3rd by far.  I would love if they a Pirates 5, and I would hope they stuck with Jack as really the main player in the movie.  But they also did wrap it up in a way that this could be the last movie as well...

I thought it was great, I never listen to critics anymore, as they seem to find ways to trash every movie that comes out anyways.

[LadyAsh]

I thought that the movie was good as well. I especially liked how they did the mermaids.

Sad, but true. When I go to a movie, it is to be entertained, to immerse myself in a story and forget the things going on around me. If it can do that, make me laugh, make me cry, scare the bejeebies out of me, it's a good movie. I really could give a rat's hiney if the director used too much blue, or someone's accent was from the Bronx instead of Brooklyn, where the story takes place. (Kevin Costner's accent in Robin Hood still pisses me off, however...so lame). There is an intense snobiness among critics, in my humble opinion.

I also do NOT try to compare books to movies and vice versa. They are two distinct media. Sorry...I'm drifting zooming off topic...

I've had fun with all of the POTC so far...I can't imagine not having fun with #4!

[tiberiusflynn]

It was fun, I enjoyed it.

It just seemed to me that Jack has lost his moral delimmas and has become a definite good guy. As well as becoming almost unbeatable in a fight....

the plot smacked of the other three. A magical ship ship (the black pearl, The Flying Dutchman, The Queen Annes Revenge), super evil pirate (Barbossa, Davy Jones, Blackbeard) a moral choice for Jack at the end.

He seemed to have no qualms with this choice, no more worried about him self and I had no thoughts on whos side he was on or what he was up too.


There was no great sword fight at the end, either, which I wanted. Gone are the days of Bob Anderson and his magnificent sword fights. Now, there's so much editing and chopping, I'm never really sure who's fighting or whats really going on.....

All in all, I do hope there's another one as I will always love seeing Jack Sparrow......
