ununoriginalafter the initial knee-jerk reaction which i swear is INEVITABLE by the time u get to the end of POTC:DMC, i have to say a few good words about it.
1st and foremost and MOST IMPORTANTLY of course is captain jack sparrow aka johnny (i totally worship him ;p) depp. to me, he makes like 75% of the film. lolz! but apart from tat sinfully gorgeous creature, the effects and stunts are pretty cool too. it's like going on a massive roller-coaster ride! the make-up for all those creatures on davy jones' crew were amazing - tat must be some of the most seamless cgi+make-up i've seen. and the way the stunts were choreographed in menage a tróis, coupled with the soundtrack - totally fun. and i also like tat elizabeth gets to kick SO MUCH ASS - mwahaha! there's other little bits and bobs that were hands down hilarious as well, but taken as a whole, i guess the storyline's kinda... lacking. or i could jus be goddamn sore that they ended the movie on the motherfucker of all cliffhangers.
aniwae, i'm desperately waiting for the next movie to come out - POTC: at world's end. apparently chow yun fatt is gonna be in it! and he's going to be playing a singaporean pirate circa 1720. which goes to show tat one really can't learn/rely on history as disseminated by disney, cuz all of us who did social studies here as a child noe that the only ppl who set foot on temasek island back then was sang nila utama and his merry band of... um, followers? ;)
i also watched the fast and the furious: tokyo drift very distractedly last weekend, and the best thing bt it was the soundtrack. it SO can't compare to the original TFATF with vin diesel.
speaking of which, anybody who thinks tat vin diesel can do nothing but action movies (which he is damn good at, my god, he is SO kakkoi!) have to see find me guilty. it's vin diesel as u've never seen him b4, and u'll realise tat the man def has acting chops. despite it's light-hearted tone, it's quite a morally grey movie, but vin diesel so brings jackie dinorscio to life. i'm so glad i finally got the dvd, esp since i missed it when it was doing its run. watch!!
