The first one wasn't bilge. It was good. The last two blew chunks.

@nettyworks,

As Harlan Ellison would put it, you're entitled to your INFORMED opinion.

No you're the idiot. Marks point with Pirates 2 and 3, is that scriptwriters threw in a lot of plotlines that did little to actually move the story forward. So yes a lot of stuff "happens", but none of that stuff acutally contributes anything useful, and worst of all, only makes the films longer and more confusing. Also Jack dying at the end of the 2nd film was a just a gimmicky excuse for the third movie to exist.

god this is even better than his transformers 3 review. he just keeps destroying everybody involved hahaha

[MrBurgundy76]

i enjoyed the first two, this might be the worst movie ive ever seen. WAIT no, the 4th one is.

I feel so exhausted from listening to this guy...

I agree. The films are so boring and extraordinarily confusing - it's almost as if they are just adding in giant women and elaborate characters, insane stuff and events which are way too fast and in your face. It's so grandiose and the 'plot' is padded out and devalued. Is there even a plot?

It goes on. And on. And on. Never again can I sit down and watch that film without vomiting at least twice.
