just saw pirates.

i am a huge fan of the first one. i absolutely loved that movie.

the second one i defended when people said how bad it was. i enjoyed it. it wasn't great but it was good enough for me.

begin rant:

as much as i hoped and prayed the third movie would make it all worth it...it sucked. i feel almost cheated. i feel as if they took advantage of the first movie, raped it, even.

the series could have been something great. but whoever decided to make the plot diverge in 40 directions only to try to tie things back together really killed the series. as much as i love the first one, it's tarnished for me now. i am pretty fucking pissed.

maybe it's not this bad. maybe i just expected a lot because i loved the first one. but the movie ended 4 hours ago and i still think it sucked. i was not at all satisfied. i don't feel they did justice to the first movie in any way. with how a lot of big trilogies have been ending, i wanted SO BADLY for this to be great. what made the first one so good was that its plot wasn't overdone. it didn't try to deal with 4030849374893 things at once. pirates 3 did. i just think they tried to introduce and resolve a lot of things that they could have left out. they tried to get fancy and couldn't deal with all the things they introduced.

end rant.

summary: my opinion is that they should have approached this like they did the first. a manageable and entertaining plot. the plot of pirates 3 was simply unwieldy. too much happened that didn't need to.
