This is not the same Pirates film as the first one was.

As if the first movie wasn't boring and overbearing. The only fun that I got out of the first film was noticing all of the references to the ride that were interspersed throughout. Then after watching it a second time I started to enjoy the all-out popcorn flick style that the movie carried. There was nothing of a plot to speak of (omg cursed treasure), there was Johnny Depp being as overrated as ever, and there was hotty whatsherface being sexy.
Then the second movie came out last summer. I went to go see it with a friend because it was the first big film of the summer.
It still retained that film-sans-plot style of a true popcorn flick.
Only this time Bill Nighy was in it with his crazy accent and amazing CG body. (an in-joke that summer was doing Davy Jones impersonations "99 soulsss-ah!")
Only in this second film, Depp wasn't as much of a focus and everyone threw a bitch-fit. Which is a shame, really, because the rest of the characters grew so much.
Now the third film is out. They tried for more of a plot, but it didn't really matter. The character of Jack Sparrow finally evolved somewhat, but nowhere near as much as Will Turner or Elizabeth Swan. Oh, and Keith Richards stunk up the film with a pointless cameo (I thought there were going to be flashbacks with him wtf).
So, how about the film's style? It's still the same old popcorn flick that the first one was. It's fun and pointless. It's a typical summer movie. Fans expecting more than what was on screen really built themselves up on a foundation of nothing, didn't they?
