I just got back from seeing the new pirates movie. One word: Disappointing. I enjoyed the first movie, so when Anna said that some of her friends were going, I wasn't opposed to tagging along. But it was long, darker, much more violent and disgusting, less funny, and less quotable. The crunching of bones as people were getting yanked through port holes even got much for me and I wish that I could have covered Anna's eyes and ears for some parts. Moreover, where the first movie was a movie to itself, the third one is just setting itself up for the third movie. Not to give anything away, but the only one of the characters that I liked at the end was one who wasn't even in the first movie. So my opinion: save your money, rent it when it comes out on video, but don't think that it will be anything like the the first movie.
