Pirates of the Caribbean 5 - Part 1

[Lord]

I didn't see much "passion" or "ideas" in AWE myself. n fact, they seemed to go out of their way to cheat an/or take the quickest/cheapest/and laziest ways out for all of the things that they'd set up.

It's like they wrote themselves into corners and decided "ah screw it, it happened offscreen. The audience won't care."

The Brethren and the pirate lords, the world's end passage, Calipso, etc.

They realy felt like old sailor's myths and built an interesting mythology around the series. Problem with these things was that they were rushed by the production. They pretty much filmed the film without a complete script.

It's another reason i dislike On Stranger Tides more, it's script didn't need to be rushed, yet, it was dull and lacked any of "neat ideas" from the previous films. Even the Directing was much inferior. The cinematography went from amazing to just alright. The fight scenes were also shot in such an uninteresting way. I remember seeing the first Jack vs Angelica fight and wondering why a certain song was playing at that time (usualy a more epic tune than the scene needed), or why the fight seemed so unengaging to me.

I think the scripts have been the main crux of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, and i realy hope the next film fixes that problem.

Kayla I think

Who?

 

[chamber-music]

Who?

Kaya Scodelario. She is a model and actress who has appeared in Skins, The Maze Runner franchise, Clash of the Titans, Moon, Wuthering Heights, Tiger House and The Truth About Emanuel.

Kaya's character is an astronomer called Carina Smyth.

Here is what she said about the character

"she is an academic, she's fighting for the right to study at university, because women couldn't at that time. So she's on her own journey - looking for the trident of Poseidon - and she has a diary with clues."

It's funny seeing how big of a mess these movies became after Curse... I mean I watched Dead Man's Chest on TV the other day... one part i never really paid attention to was that the Kraken destroyed all the longboats during the battle... Then Jack comes back and all of a sudden they have longboats again... Before you say Jacks boat was big enough... they saved the whole crew lol

 

[TheVileOne]

I think my biggest problem with the third movie was how they dropped the Jack Sparrow/Elizabeth subplot.

At the end of the movie, it almost felt like Will wanted to save Jack to spare Elizabeth's feelings and make her feel better. So Elizabeth wasn't in love with him? What was the point of all that? They didn't resolve it in a satisfying way.

 

[Reek]

lets not forget Davy Jones can walk on land as long and he uses bucket shoes.

 

[TheVileOne]

I agree with you Reek. As a reward, you can have steak for dinner. Good Reek .

 

[dude stannis]

Not watching this unless Toby Stephens is in it.

 

[TheVileOne]

LOL, now that's a pirate show stannis!

 

[Reek]

I wonder if Will Turner paid child support all those years

Had never noticed that. I actualy enjoyed that film for what it was, found it entertaining and liked the inclusion of Davy Jones and the Kraken. Though it's not as well rounded as Curse.

 

[Reek]

I mean i didn't notice either... for years now... ive seen it 20 times and just noticed it yesterday lol

No they don't have boats again. All the boats are still destroyed except for the one Jack had. The only crew members that made it off the boat alive were the ones in the longboat watching the Kraken take down the Pearl with Jack. That's why they only needed the boat that Jack had. The rest of the crew were killed during the attack.

Did you not notice that only Will, Elizabeth, Cotton, Gibbs, Marty, Pintel, and Ragetti go to Tia Dalma in a single boat after the attack? It's because they are the only ones that survived.

I suppose it's possible some may have jumped overboard and swam away, but there is no indication that they had any boats besides the one Jack came back in or that any of the rest of the crew got into any other boat.

 

[Reek]

I thought there was more than one boat in Tia Dalmas swamp... i dont know.. i may be mistaken... either way davy jones can walk on land with watershoes.

 

[Reek]

ahh.. you're right. you're right... i mistook the candles in the swamp as other boats when i watched it last.

but still... those Davy Jones Nikes

 

[samsnee]

[terry78]

Huh. That's a new one.

 

[chamber-music]

[samsnee]

At this point it's really whoever Johnny wants to hang out with for a few days.

 

[Reek]

If only he wanted to hang out with the first movie

 

[Uskok]

Very interesting news. Maybe he'll play some old Pirate Lord, like Keith Richards.

 

[Vartha]

Is there an official poster for this yet?

 

[Reek]

not yet, that I am aware of.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Why do I still come to this thread even hoping anymore?
