Pirates 2 Audience Nil
Disappointment reigns supreme. The main problem was the script. What script, I hear you ask. Well, yes, exactly. The great thing about the original movie was the freshness of the characters and the glee of being along for the ride. What a romp! Sadly that can’t be said of this movie. To the good, Bill Nye was his usual fabulous self as Davy Jones and the CGI effects were stunning. Loved seeing the kraken devour a certain character who shall remain nameless in the interests of preserving my reader’s spoiler free status.
At 2.5 hours this movie could have done with some serious scissor work. A serious tighening could have worked wonders. Let’s hope Pirates 3 redeems this bloated excess of a movie.

Oh dear, I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one!

Sub Evil Boy’s with you. But then he’s an adolescent boy with no taste!
Ner ner ne ner ner, as Cap’n Jack would say.

“Ner ner ne ner ner” Did I hear you say?
Well, I think Sub Evil Boy and I will be over here in this corner being mature!
