Too soon for spoilers, so here are some thoughts.

1- Johnny Depp is awesome.
2- Kiera Knightly (sp?) is a *****. Seriously, who doesn't she make out with in these flicks...
3- Jeffrey Rush is the only living actor who can pull of an Authentic "Aargggg". Everyone else who tries sounds silly.

I thought it was pretty good. Pretty long, but good. Most of the ladies I know who saw it hate the ending, (someone psuedo-dies), but given I have no love for the charachter, I couldn't care less that they psuedo-died. B+

Decent movie. The wife and I didn't care overmuch for the ending though.

I have already informed the husband that we are attending Harry Potter, no debating.

damn theatres sold out at 7 pm for the rest of the night...

You can nitpick about the length but hard to deny that it was an epic. Visuals were lush and you could actually follow the action rather than the frenetic sequences that pass as action in newer movies in which it's hard to follow what is actually happening. The last hour was the reason I go to movies. Loved the closure with the various characters, in particular with Depp.

Great movie, but the ending sucked.

Stay for the credits, by the way. You don't want to miss out on the last scene. Or maybe you do. Depends, I guess.

Went to the matinee yesterday and I have to say I was very pleased with the film.

Question w/Spoiler (highlight to read):
If Elizabeth and Will were so in love, why didn't Elizabeth just become a crew member of the Flying Dutchman at the end? They could have been together for eternity right? Isn't it just that, "Do you fear death?" question and then if you agree to be part of the crew it's binding? Would have been a better ending if that'd happened...but I'm a happy ending kinda guy.

Will, Elizabeth, Jack, Barbosa, Tibbs, Caliope (was that her name?) and Jones were all played very well. Norrington and the EITC dude were decently done also.

I'd give it an A-.

Roller,

Davy Jones's duty was to ferry those who died at sea to the other side. I would assume that Elizabeth would have to die at sea for Will to add her to the crew.

I loved this movie. The funny moments alone made it worth seeing. That "who has the longer scope" gag between Jack and Barbossa had everyone in the theater cracking up.

Admin edit: you suck at hideing spoiler things

Roller: I think the disturbing part people are referring to is the mass hangings, especially of the child.

Just saw it, now I have to go to bed to go to work in under 5 hours. Not sure if it was worth that though, but it is definitely worth seeing in a theater. It'll never ever be as good on a small tv screen, no matter how big. (save projection screens most likely)

Wanted to see it yesterday, but all four screenings were sold out and again the late night screenings. So tried again today, again all screenings sold out at 8pm, but luckily the late screening had an opening. Never seen that much people for a movie before, not even Spiderman.

Mazra is right btw, best to wait till after the credits have passed, takes a while though. Of the full room, only about 8 people stayed, I wouldn't have if I hadn't read it here first! (so thanks for that Mazra!)

Is it better than the previous two? Not imo, but it was a decent end to the trilogy, that I'll admit.

We need to bring pirates back to stop global warming.
