Movies
Tis been a good week for movies in general. First I saw Superman Returns which despite a hitch in continuity here and there, was the most amazing movie I thought I would see.
And then I saw Dead Man's Chest last night.
Disney has done a FANTASTIC job with the movie. I'm going to do something unique and cut for spoilers this time around. If you read these spoilers, it's your own darn fault.
Okay, now that's settled, Jack Sparrow. He had to die. Die, because it paves the way for POTC 3, BUT at the same time, opens up more storyline and more awesomeness. Besides, his entrance and ender this time around were UTTER CLASSIC.
Ender:
Jack to Kraken: Hello Beastie. *Draws sword and charges into the gaping maw*
Opener:
Crow: Pecking on the coffin.
Jack: *Blows the Crow Away and erupts from the coffin on water*
Need I say more? Okay, I will.
You can see how human Jack, Will and Elizabeth are even when they're fighting to keep some sense of morality around in Dead Man's Chest. Mind you Jack and Elizabeth are trying to keep some distance, and you can tell that she's attracted to him and what he stands for; freedom to do whatever she wants. And then there's Will who is the straight man, and someone who is bound by personal honour and duty to his friends and family, even though one of said friends is Jack Sparrow.
The love triangle has also been blossomed into a square with interlocking lines too, considering the disgraced Commodore Norrington got into the fray.
Fight scenes: Best ones have to be the three way between Will, Norrington and Jack, and then the Kraken fight scene. That Kraken though, WHOO. It's pretty nasty.
There's some amazing lines in that movie nontheless. And suffice to say it, even with the lack of Anamaria, it's still utterly insane.
The Ender: Not much to say about it but they left it open for POTC 3 which is due out next year. And who happens to walk into the room but Barbossa. Frickin Non-Zombie Crazy-Ass Barbossa! I worry about the state of the third movie since it seems to be a journey across the end of the world to retrieve Jack.
Okay, if you're read the following, then you know it's cut for spoilers. If you're going to be a complete goober and read it without watching Dead Man's Chest, it's not my fault, its yours. Oh, and I'm on my unpaid hour break, so I'm heading back in about thirty minutes. Gotta love it when you work no more than five away.
