I thought Pirates was an enjoyable movie, but I'm just not that into it. I think a part of me really dislikes the concept of making a movie that's based off an old ride at Disneyland. I didn't care much for the first one at all but did like the 2nd one better.
speaking of which
I heard, because of the movie, they switch some of the ride around at both disney land and disney world. Alot of fanatics of the original ride seem to be really pissed off.
At 2 and a half hours I felt it was a little long. This is summer blockbuster entertainment not meant to be an epic piece of cinematic filmmaking.
hm, well thats where i think i disagree, i consider the Pirates of the Caribbean now amognst the other top adventure, fantasy films (star wars and lord of the rings .) And usually, each one of those movies are around 2-3 hours long, so the length of the movie doesnt seem odd to me. Its definately the best thing Disney has done since the "swiss family robinson", or "20,000 leagues under the sea" X-D .
Yeah, the old Pirates of the Caribbean ride got a facelift. It does sort of rub me the wrong way but Disneyland needs to keep up with the times so I'm not royally pissed off, change at Disneyland is often for the good. The Pirates ride is one of the original ones, and a damn great ride still to this day - I just hope the changes this time around are better than the politically correct changes they made a few years ago... There was a street scene with these pirates chasing after women, but after all these years it was considered sexist - so they replaced the lovely wenches with a fat maid running with a big tray of food and a bunch of skinny pirates chasing after her food. Lame. If there is one thing I really hoped Disney fixed was this one damn cat's tail that's been broken since I was about 8 years old. I mean, come on!! Fix the anima-tronic tail already!!
I still think Pirates was a bit too long, they could have shaved some scenes. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree - I like Davey Jones' crew the best - I was rooting for the Kraken!! That was the best part! An entertaining film but I wouldn't put it in the same league as Lord of the Rings, but that's just me. I'd put it on par with Star Wars Episodes I, II, III and Return of the Jedi.
