Two and three suffered because they were trying to do a big, epic story arc. If they made each movie independent of each other (I.E. what Indiana Jones used to be) then it wouldn't be so bad. There is definitely still life in this franchise.

Man reading that first line with only reading this threads title in my head...

"Johnny Depp, Miley Cyrus, John Travolta, Tim Burton, Nicolas Cage and the Muppets are all set to appear...."

I was thinking either that was going to be the best or worst Pirate movie ever.

Worst. Easily.

I say this because I don't feel there was "3 Pirates" movies already. Just 1 major epic in 3 parts. As a whole, it's a phenomenal movie.

I would PAY to see "Muppets of the Caribbean", if only for them to have Tim Curry play Long John Silver again and have him team up Depp as Jack Sparrow. THAT would be fucking epic.

It doesn't matter who they add to the cast, the fact that Miley Cyrus will be in it, is the guaranteed reason why I'll never see it.

Well I'll see it regardless. And I won't be disappointed if it isn't as good as the first three because the first three really were quite remarkable movies and even if it isn't as outstanding I have faith in the POTC team to make a movie worth watching.

I'll watch it.

I bet there'll be pirates in it!

And I liked Cutthroat Island. :(

I thought the first POTC was a smart, small, effects driven movie. The second too were just overblown, effects driven, behemoths getting shoved down our throats. After seeing the second one, I swore that I would not see the last. But curiosity got the better of me, and I saw it anyways.

What? You people can't read. That link is about stars promoting an upcoming SLATE of many Disney movies. Of which one is Pirates. Only Johnny Depp was there for Pirates 4

yeah, I watched the 2nd and 3rd back to back. I did not like them. They were too . . . I don't know. I just didn't like them

The second one suffered because it was plain to see that the writers were banking on a third movie. The third movie suffered because of the poor storytelling in the previous movie.

And actually,t he 4th is supposed to be moving back form the over cgi epic style the 2nd and 3rd went for. I am interested to see where it goes, and do hold out hope for it.

It can't be any worse than 2 or 3.

If they are dumping everyone but Depp then it will probably only get better.

I was hoping there'd be a Depp vs Rush dynamic to it.

Early stuff from the writers have suggested possible plotlines involving the fountain of youth, a lost world of dinosaurs, Atlantis, and probably some Jules Verne stuff... Judge that for what you will.

No Keira Knightley?

Eh, I'll probably watch it sooner or later, if not in theaters then on cable eventually.

Why would she be in it? Her and Will's story have finished, now. There's nothing more to add to either character.

Besides, they were basically just there to react to Jack's antics.

I'm sure they could find some reason to bring her back, if they wanted to.

Will is unhappy with the prospect of living forever as the captain of the Dutchman, because he'd have to watch Elizabeth grow old and die. He teams up with Jack Sparrow to find the Fountain of Youth, with the intention of using it to grant Elizabeth eternal life. When they reach the Fountain, they find that it only works once every five hundred years, and each time it only provides enough water for one. Jack wants immortality for himself, Will wants it for Elizabeth, wacky hijinks ensue.

Also, at some point someone slaps Jack. Also there'll be a monkey. An undead one.

... except William can only step onto land once every 10 years, and then for only a day. He'd spend all the movie on a ship.

The third movie showed that the Dutchman's captain can step onto land as long as he stays in a bucket of water. Will is transported everywhere in a bucket of seawater, which is conveyed on a large wagon, drawn by Pintel and Ragetti. Though, of course, they're not happy about this particular job, so they keep trying to get out of it. More hijinks ensue.

You know, I'm starting to think I could just write a fanfic.

Prequels?

My biggest problems with the second and third movies were people giving me dirty looks everytime I called them The East India Company Strikes back and Return of the Captain Jack.

I bought used DvDs of the 2 and 3 and watched them back to back on a big screen TV. Man, that was a looooo-oong night.

More than anything, I think the parts with Sparrow dead were grindingly boring.

For me Barbosa is what made the first and third films. I also loved Bill Nighy as Davey Jones.

In fact can we just ditch Sparrow and have Barbosa going to the Fountain of Youth to ressurect Jones? :D

This. The only thing I liked about 3 was Barbossa. He was fucking awesome.

Man, here I come into a great forum subject, and I realize that I don't have a single thing to add to the conversation.

I'm of the "first great/second two suck/have hope for the fourth" crowd.
