Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
 
So with the release of DMC only being like two weeks ago, I got curious with what was on the net regarding AWE. Here are some stills I found for the movie....

I seriously cannot wait for this movie! LOL.

Estimated release date is May 25, 2007

Oh yipee!! I got DMC from Netflix on Friday and have been watching it practically non-stop. I am half way through the commentary version & loving it. Sooooo many little things I completely missed the first go round (like Barbosa's boots when the monkey ran in the room & the locket). Its fun to listen to the commentary and find even more fun stuff I missed (such as Will's now classic line "okay - nevermind - let's go" when he is waiting for Jack & then sees Jack running being chased by the cannibals.... he actually had messed the line up & said that to let the directors know that they could try it again, but apparantly it fit perfectly). Such fun :D

My favorite line from DMC is still Jack telling Elizabeth (upon seeing her in boy clothes) that it should be a dress or nothing at all... "and I just happen to have NO dress in my cabin" CLASSIC Jack Sparrow. (Yeah, I'll stop now :o )

I wish they'd release it now--they've already made it! They're just torturing us!

My daughter's friend was an extra in the second and third ones--they made them at the same time to save money. I can't wait!

I do believe I'll be there!

Can't wait for the last movie, but I'm hoping it's better than DMC.

I forgot about that line. LOL.

I also absolutely love the lines that I have in my signature. :D


Have you watched the feature about Jack's clothing? Johnny Depp is wearing two belts during the movie. The second belt was because he liked the belt buckle so he asked if he could wear two belts and the costume designer was like 'whatever'. LOL. Gotta love Johnny Depp.

I don't know I want the contact sunglasses that they created for him for the first Pirates (which I'm sure he wore for the second).

Agreed. I was pretty disappointed in DMC.:(

Nah - it HAD to be that way in order to set up #3 -- just like the Star Wars trilogy (original) leaving Hans Solo to be frozen at the end of the 2nd movie. I was only disappointed with PotC-DMC because I would have paid GOOD MONEY to sit right there and wait for the 3rd one to come out (I am not a very patient person) :D

Yeah, I didn't really need a 3rd, so the cliff hanger was just unfortunate and disappointing. However, it isn't really the cliff hanger that bothered me, it just seemed that nothing much was accomplished after 2.5 hours. With Lord of the Rings or even Kill Bill each movie accomplished something. Some significant part of the story was told and had advanced. I didn't really feel that with Dead Man's chest. I'm happy with an open ending and a set up for the next film. However over 2 hours of running/sailing around to no avail was not my idea of a good time.

Oh - yeah, that makes sense. On the other board I'm on, they all were complaining about the ending of it. Which is why I assumed that's what you had meant. I totally agree with you from this regard. It was shameless "let's put in enough fighting to make the trailers look good" type stuff. If you watch the DVD with the commentary, they reveal so much of what they were trying to put across on film, but that hopelessly fell flat on the audience (like foreshadowing Jack's demise twice - once in the coffin at the beginning, and once when he fell in the grave during the wheel scene). I thought given the time of that movie, they could have saved the subtle gestures & just spelled it out for everyone.

I haven't watched the commentary but just the other day I was watching the movie again and I thought about the foreshadowing of Jack being the coffin and the grave, but the thing is I've now watched the movie like five times now. Some people just get foreshadowing right away, some don't (for heaven's sake my mom still finds "something new" in Independence Day and how old is that movie now? LOL.)

LeslieAGD 12-19-2006 09:41 PM

In response to the last few posts...

Let's face it, usually the 2nd movie in a trilogy kinda sucks but you need it to get to the plot in the 3rd movie. Star Wars is an exception; "The Empire Strikes Back" is probably the best, IMO. But LOTR, "The Two Towers" was painful for me...just a bunch of walking.

I had high hopes for DMC, but I really only enjoyed the last 45 minutes in which Jack Sparrow was making hilarious comments/faces and there was action sequences that had a purpose. The sword fight on the wheel was awesome, but the cannibal island was pointless.

You hush, Two Towers is my favourite. I have no patience whatsoever for ROTK, apart from the battle of minas tirith. I may also be one of a few who just doesn't like POTC. I don't. I haven't even seen Dead Man's Chest. Curse of the Black Pearl was torture to get through. I've watched it twice...just ugh.

Well I got the foreshadowing right away, but I realize that some people don't. I don't know how many movies there have been where I didn't see the "shocking twist" coming early on and it seemed everyone else did.

I waited for DMC on DVD, so I already knew not to expect too much. Because of this, I was able to just enjoy the movie for its entertainment value. I can't wait for AWE to come out! I'm really curious about what really happened to Jack (seeing as how he's in the third movie).

Well I was completely floored by Barbossa at the end - never saw it coming! Later, when I was on my disney board reading about PotC-DMC, (sorry I can't type DMC without wanting to put "Run" in front of it :D ) people were on there with all sorts of tidbits that I missed (like seeing Barbossa's boots at Tia's, the locket at Tia's that matched the music box on the FD, that matched the lock on the chest...) all kinds of stuff. But then, I figured these are people that honestly probably sat through the movie taking notes the whole time. I literally was so shocked at the ending that I had to post on here (and there) to find out what Barbossa had even said.

I was hopeless in the Sixth Sense - never saw it coming.

ASUADPi 05-21-2007 08:04 PM

Old I know, but this made me think of Clerks II.

Ok, so I just saw it, and it was okay. I liked the (very) end; after the credits...hated it before that. I got bored; they could have cut out like 45 minutes of fighting, and you wouldn't have missed anything important! It was good, but could have been better.

BabyPiNK_FL 05-25-2007 01:06 AM

um...i haven't seen it yet, but i knew it. it looks like a big build up to a pointless fight somewhere in asia. they didn't advertise any type of plot...therfore, one does not exist. but i'll be seeing it tomorrow. i mean it's only fair if i threw money to se tobey mcguire dance around with bangs in his face and enough eyeliner to make up the rockettes. :cool: i just hope the resolution to the love triangle is not boring and there isn't too much time wasted on new characters because they weren't in the first two so at this point i don't care.

i would like to take the time to mention that johnny depp went to high school in the city where i live and though i didn't go to that school (too far east so we went to the next city over), we did share an english teacher and one of his former classmates also teaches at my former high school as well.

What is the website? I liked the movie but can't help but feel like I have missed a lot of info!

Xylochick216 05-25-2007 09:09 AM

I liked it better than the second movie. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending but it had to happen. It definitely left it open for a 4th if they want to make another one.

flirt5721 05-25-2007 10:39 AM

I liked better then the second one too. And stay after the credits it gives an extra sceen.

I wish we had stayed last night. Can you PM what was in the "bonus" scene? I think after sitting through the credits after Shrek 3 with nothing, we weren't going to do that again!

That's exactly why we didn't stick around. We waited during Shrek and got nothing! I know we'll see it again so I'll see the scene at some point.

From the people I have talked to who went and saw Shrek, many of them have stayed for the nonexistent bonus scene.

I was soooo ticked about waiting through Shrek 3's credits w/o getting a reward for it. They can't tease us like that!

I think the last scene in the movie would have been a bonus scene, it was so seperated from the rest of the movie.
Of course, my big went with me and she didn't know that Donkey and Dragon had babies... foals? cubs? ... because she'd never watched the last big of Shrek 2!

guardedbystars 05-26-2007 02:35 AM

I just saw this movie. Um, maybe I am blind, but I totally didn't understand a lot of it.

:(

oceanphi01 05-26-2007 09:23 AM

I was a bit surprised about what happened at parts of the movie. But overall, it was pretty good. Much better than Dead Man's Chest. :)

wasn't just you... my friends and I were lost for most of the time. I've been telling everyone that's going to watch it to re-watch Dead Man's Chest first... cause I think that would've really helped me. but even if I had... the movie was still like an hour too long.

LeslieAGD 05-27-2007 03:14 PM

I saw the movie this morning and I really liked it. I didn't find the plot that hard to follow...I just got temporarily confused at some of the double, and triple, crossing.

I was satisfied with the ending, and I also hope they make a Pirates 4 with or without Keira and Orlando.

ASUADPi 05-27-2007 05:28 PM

So I saw it on Thursday. I really, really liked it. I didn't mind the time. To me it went pretty quickly. I've definately seen movies that are long like this one and I was thinking "OMG this is long". I wasn't think that at Pirates.

I was definately shocked by some of things that happened.

I thought the special effects were awesome. Plus, I really like the score. Hans Zimmer did a wonderful job on it.

I absolutely loved Johnny Depp! He cracks me up as Jack Sparrow. He really, IMPO, makes the movie. :D

Some of the characters that died, I was quite shocked that they did. I didn't see it coming. The end was also a bit of a surprise to me. Didn't see that coming at all.

BabyPiNK_FL 05-28-2007 02:33 AM

i saw it friday, too much will and elizabeth, i wanted them to resolve the love triangle, not make a movie about it! and when it wasn't them it was barbosa, or the british...it was ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE! not enough Jack Sparrow (oh! he's rescued, now what?) he plays such a miniscule role that you don't get to enjoy the comedy of the character.

there are so many side plots, and honestly the ending that they left open should be scrapped if they plan on making number four, get rid of the millions of characters and go back to Jack.

WTF was that whole new love angle (I saw it coming from DMC, but it was so...stupid, who's betraying who, who's trapping who in what form, who's doing what and WHY?? If you love someone why are you doing all this mess back and forth?! That whole plot was so entagled in itself that it couldn't progress, it made no sense.

the whirl pool was cool and all, but...this was the most unrealistic mess.

the ending was not idealistic for the two main characters, why would they put us through years of anxiousness and then leave them in such an awful state? it's not a fairy tale ending, and this is Disney we're talking about.

Basically, the day after, I almost forgot the entire thing, but I told everyone I knew to wait for the DVD and save money on per person viewing costs...this is not all that and they were trying WAY too hard to leave loose ends for the possibility of a 4th instead of making a solid movie.

ASUADPi 05-28-2007 09:18 AM

Although it may be a Disney movie, I don't think it could ever be a movie that has a "happily ever after". The whole plot (in general) surrounding it just doesn't really allow that to happen. IMPO.

While I definately agree some of what happened was over the top, the reality is that not everyone in life gets a happily ever after and I appreciate that they didn't make the movie end that way.

I agree that you didn't see enough Jack. He's the comedic portion of the movie and there could have definately been more of him.

SWTXBelle 05-28-2007 10:39 AM

I liked it better than DMC - but not enough Jack, and I felt some plot threads were kinda left hanging.
Loved Keith Richards.
Am glad Elizabeth and Will are doing their sort of happily ever after, so maybe next time we can just concentrate on Jack and Barbossa.

ladylike 05-29-2007 01:29 PM

I found myself thinking (repeatedly): "This might possibly be the worst movie I have ever seen."

There was no reason for that movie to have been as long as it was.
The "plot" trodded along like a lame horse. Absolutely horrible.

If there is a fourth movie made it needs to be (at MOST) no more than an hour and 45 minutes.

ETA: Such a big to do was made about Keith Richards being in the film and that was all they gave him to do?!? Ugh.

Well if they do do a fourth movie, Orlando has no desire to do it and I'm not sure about Kiera. Johnny has been reported saying that he loves the character of Jack Sparrow and that he is willing to keep going. I'd be fine with another movie with more Jack. I hated how this one didn't have as much of him as the other ones did.

Ditto on the whole Keith Richards thing. Although, I have to say casting him as Jack's father was appropriate. The resemblance (thanks to makeup) was uncanny.

So I totally just figured out the song at the beginning of the movie is about Calypso. I own the soundtrack, so I figured it out this way. LOL

Question and I might be putting way to much thought it this (or I'm just thinking way to much Buffy) but how the heck can someone who is dead (well living dead, so to speak) create a child? That makes no sense to me. Someone care to comment.
