Late Night Movies

[jackofallgeeks]

So I went out to dinner and a movie with Sarah last night. I'll try and get a proper post on that later today, but for right now the point is that we went to a 10pm showing of Pirates 2 and I didn't get to bed until 1:30 or 2:00. I'm tired. Coffee has seemed to help a little bit, but...

And just to keep score, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best movie I've ever seen, Pirates gets a 4. It was an alright movie, but I think the story was a little thin and it relied too much on in-jokes and references to the first movie for its humor. Some of that is good stuff, sure, but when you have no fewer than 3 references to "why is the rum gone," a good line in the first movie but weak to keep repeating. All in all, I think it sets the stage for an interesting third movie, but that's about it. Which, I guess, makes it a wonderful example of "Middle Trilogy Syndrome."

I personally thought the movie was good. I took the liberty of seeing it twice so I think I have a good feel for the movie. The begining was slow, and it took a while to get going. I personally thought that the rum references where funny because well, he's a pirate? And the line that went something like "I take advantage of good situations; I wave to them as they pass by", I thought was funny.

It was werid, once you thought the movie was going to end, it doesn't! And then when you don't want it to end, it end! That was a little dissappointing, but if you think about it they set it up for the 3rd movie perfectly.

Well, the first time I saw it my friend wanted to know if they had something after the credits like in X3. They did! Did you see it? It was funny/cute/sad.
