Is this the best, or what!?

Swash 09-17-2008 11:35 PM

What are you talking about the movies (just asking because you didnt say)?

The first movie was the best.

The rest were just sequels.. albeit good ones. ;)

Nah zeppers the fist was good but the 3rd cant be beat with its special effects.

I love every part.

I must say first of all the pirates 1-2 & 3 where the best movies ever made besides the lilo & stitch movies and it was one of the few that johnny depp did not freak me out

Captain Del 11-22-2008 02:01 PM

I loved all installments of POTC, yet i must say, while At Worlds End did have amazing special effects, I must say that Curse of the Black Pearl was, in my opinion, because of its main plot, the best (can't beat the original, savvy?)

Chris 11-22-2008 02:04 PM

I honestly didnt care for the second i think the 1st had the most humor but the 3rd by far was great!

anndreeuhh 11-22-2008 04:39 PM

What Chris said. I loved the first, but the third was really good too.

Deadpool 11-22-2008 04:42 PM

lol make that three what Chris and Ann said. I like all three just don't like the second too much.

davy redflint 11-22-2008 05:23 PM

This is one of the biggest problems with movies these days.

People just want special effects and care nothing for the story line or acting.

Quite ashame..

Still say #1 was the best, and the rest were just good sequels.

The problem with the 2nd one, was that it was written to pick up from the 1st and lead into the 3rd, when they decided to do 2 more movies.
The 2nd one was basically a cliffhanger designed to get us to go see #3

the first one was indeed the best in all aspects. they never expected to get that success quite frankly. even Depp got an Oscar nomination which he should have won.

Wonder where youll end up working...



Anyway I'd say Black Pearl has all of the others beat, its the original, its more piratey, has the best jack intro (sinking ship>blk pearl on sand dune), aztec curse, lots of Norrington and Jackiness.

Bonnylass64 03-16-2009 09:32 PM

I've seen them all and the first one is still my favorite. I think it shows all the characters at their best. I worry that the next one I heard Depp agreed to film won't even come close to the magic of the first one. My fingers are crossed. :piratear:

Juliana Maria 03-16-2009 10:56 PM

THe first was by far the best.. it portrayed a realistic (if that is possible) pirate like setting... The 2nd and 3rd were amazing but they just couldn't beat the first...

You can never beat the classic......

Your Gladiator 04-04-2009 01:30 AM

the movies were awesome!

League 04-04-2009 04:18 PM

The third was kinda cheesy. I liked the second the most, because it is the one with the ending least convenient. I personally don't mind the cliffhanger, and actually thought the movies could have ended there (Barbossa was back; why couldn't Jack as well?). The end to the cliffhanger (3rd movie) contains too many elements though that were foreign to the first and second movie for my liking, not that I didn't like it though.

ukebec 04-06-2009 06:39 AM

I love the first, best, because it's our introduction to the characters, and Jack seemed very well-fleshed out.

The second had more comic elements and, to me, was a joy-ride.

The third was (again, in my humble opinion) much more of a character-study. I appreciated, especially, the story arcs of Will and Izzy. They reached their natural conclusion in this one.

And, hey, I'm not one to complain about multiple Jacks. ;)

All of that being said, I DO look forward to POTC 4. With reservations. As much as I love the character of Captain Jack, I think he and Barbossa only have one outing left in them that can be believable. And I can only hope that Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio (the writers) will be true to the characters and give us one last rousing adventure to go out on.

I think the dynamic of Captain Jack and Captain Barbossa is one that can be revisited one more time, and the story of their pursuit of the Fountain of Youth could be great fun.
