You know, it looks...fine. I mean, yeah, it looks great and all, but something seems missing.
Maybe I'm not it the right mood, or maybe I've finally had enough of the "Jack Sparrow" schtick. Or maybe I don't care at all about Orlando Bloom's character...he's like the handsome "leading man" in a Marx Brothers movie who's running around all earnestly and has no idea he's in a comedy.
Or maybe it's these clever screenwriters and their ability to turn a mystical, magical romantic story into a stupefyingly intricate "fight-the-villian"/"find-the-talisman"/"follow the plot twist" Rube Goldberg narrative puzzle.
(I know that's what everyone said about Dead Man's Chest, but that movie had this weird kookiness to it that I kind of dug, just because the silliness of actually coming back in after the end of something as weightless as the original movie was an amusing and enjoyable experience; kind of like finding out what happens after the end of "Guys and Dolls" or something.)
I know what you mean, dude. I have pirates exhaustion too. I like the films but the two that have come out so far are simply too long. Both could be trimmed by 30 minutes. On DVD I find myself scanning through a lot of it. I think I'm growing a little tired of the Sparrow "schtick" as you noted.
Keira's a goddamn wet dream, though. Every one of her shots in this preview could be a Vogue cover. (Go ahead; freeze frame her. Her "famous underbite" gets its usual workout.)
