[100 Things] My DVD Collection: PotC - Curse of the Black Pearl / Dead Man's Chest / At Worlds End

   

The first two PotC movies are my favourites. I know Dead Man's Chest is usually considered the least favourite of many fans, but to me it is just excellent. It probably helps that I really like the idea of Sparrabeth (Jack & Elizabeth) - this movie has their big kiss moment, and his calling her a Pirate too. That whole scene is the best for me out of all three movies in the trilogy.

Of course, Dead Man's Chest really doesn't work so well unless you then go on to watch At Worlds End, and though that last movie in the trilogy is necessary, I find it a bit overly long and kinda boring. I just wish they would've got on with it and not stretched it out to be so very long, because there are parts I really like, they just come in between long stretches of yawnfest!

As it stands alone, Curse of the Black Pearl probably works best for casual viewing. The introduction of Jack Sparrow is just wonderful and he entertains throughout. Elizabeth is a fun heroine that certainly shows more back-bone than most women of her time. I don't care much for Will Turner, not in the first movie, he's just too nice for my liking here.

I was never into Pirate movies previously, but Johnny Depp got me into this series, and I thoroughly enjoy them, especially the first two... and we won't even mention the direness of On Stranger Tides, I threw that dvd away a while back!
