  ... he's right about Pirates of the Caribbean, IMO. I went into the theater with reservations about this flick, but came out with very positive impressions! Look, to really appreciate Johnny Depp's anti-heroic pirate character you need to listen to any interview of Keith Richards over, let's say, the past twenty or so years. The reading of this character is almost side splitting! IMHO, Pirates is an excellent film, hadsomely produced, paced and plotted, with wonderful tongue 'n cheek moments that never rise or rather lower to the level, of pure comic campiness!

    A terrible film. And don´t tell me to compare Keith" I don´t know who" for judging the quality or not of a film!
    I did go quite happily in this film having the fine irony of the Flynn in my back mind...
    Depp only face expression is horribly boring in this film, after a few minutes, and the take over of digtal effects is to this film : fatal.
    You did only follow your wishes for a good film, missing therefore the triste reality of this poor flick.

        I did not too.
        Maybe I will, as I feel some magnetism in the Crown machism own way...

    • Sorry, but I beg to differ. - Audiophilander 11:33:32 12/22/03 (1)

      This is just one style of pirate flick; indeed, there are others. I'm sorry that this one disappointed you so much, not having been "in like Flynn", but perhaps one has to been in the proper mood to appreciate Pirates of the Caribbean as the fantasy-pirate movie it actually is. It's light on history, but fast paced and more of a send-up of pirate genre cliches than rousing seafaring adventure; I won't bother going into the special effects, since CGI stuff isn't everyone's cuppa tea.

      Aaaaargh, matey, YMMV! ;^)

        I did not want to have another " Flyinn flick " 50 years or so later, I just did wish that " Pirates " reaches his quality or even surpasses it !
        I was in a proper mood for taking myself out of myself, but the film just could not realise it.
        My loss if I could not, your win, if you could...
