That's not an M. Night Shyamalan movie. However, he did make a movie called Unbreakable which was totally sweet.
I personally went to see the movie more than once (Sue me, I'm a ****in' dork) so obviously I thought it was good stuff. I guess it's somewhat a kiddie movie, but it's still appealing. I don't usually like that kind of thing, but ah...there's something about this one.
Johnny Depp is absolutely amazing. He was by far my favorite actor anyway...but in these he's just incredible. I can't imagine any other actor making Jack Sparrow as 'real' and unique as he is.
I thought it was an excellent sequel. I was actually surprised to find a ton of people who didn't dig it. If you weren't a fan of the first one, I can understand you not really enjoying this one...but a ton of people who loved the first one, hated this one.
I was really disappointed yeah the special effects were good and parts were quite amusing but, it was the best part of 3 hrs for half a movie!!!:mad:
[QUOTE=bagelred]LOL...all superheros have a love interest in their movies....
Superman 2 was just an awesome movie top to bottom.
I'm sorry you were so offended by Wonder Woman. Next time I'll choose a more suitable superhero for your "preferences".[/QUOTE]
I'm a huge Spiderman fan (used to collect/read the comics, etc). The whole love story is way too cheesy. It didn't have to be that way. Her running to the apt in her wedding dress? UGH. That's straight out of a chick flick. Mary Jane was sexy in the comic book. whatshername in the movie is not sexy at all. She's anorexic and cute.
Lady in the Water got a ONE STAR rating. You guys gotta stay away on this one. Definitely dont sleep on Pirates 2, it was one of the highlights of the summer blockbusters. People who havent actually seen it will claim its too long, because when you're actually watching it, time flies by b/c of the nonstop action and entertainment. I like the cliffhanger at the end too. The third installment is going to be sick.

That wasn't a cliff hanger, that was a, we're now half way through 1 movie that has been split in two.
I wouldn't bother until the 2nd half comes out. Happy to watch it when I get to see the end of the film. But felt short changed sitting through three hours for the film not to come to a conclusion.

that's what i meant. unbreakable was his best movie to date. signs was the worst.
Was it this thread that TMOGE ripped geewiz a new one about this past weekend's movie earnings?
I remember something about geewiz saying Clerks 2 will make alot of money and TMOGE came in and just shred him to pieces.
Funny stuff.
It's your Pirates of Caribbean update:
Pirates is now 14th on the All Time highest grossing movies in the U.S. at $337 million. It just passed Forrest Gump and the Lion King, right on Finding Nemo's tail. And the weekend's coming up:
It is the fastest movie in U.S. history to reach $100 million, fastest to reach $200 million, and the fastest to reach $300 million in U.S. history.
And I still don't get it......
The youth is fascinated by Pirates.
I dont know how many of my friends went to see that movie the first night even though it was disney and didn't have the usual sex, violence, special effects that would otherwise draw them to the box office.
There is a certain "cool" aura around the idea of a pirate that kids/young adults can relate with i guess.
I thought it was terrible and asked for my money back afterward.
Its A Good Movie Thats Why

No, that was the lady in the water thread, and I ripped HIM to pieces, but you wouldn't know, because nobody reads my retaliations because you don't want to admit to yourselves that I can hold my own against anybody.
Yeah Clerks didn't even get top 5 in the box office. Little Man, on its second week, even beat it. Jeez. Movie sales depend solely on advertising. That's all there is to it. Doesn't matter how good the movie is, if you make a McDonalds toy out of it, put commercials on all the major networks and previews before every movie, people will flock.
Damn it was a good movie, but not that damn good. Especially since it leaves you hanging at the end.
[QUOTE=Timmeh]You guys wanna know why the movie is doing so good? Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp. Most of the people who want to see that movie are just horny lusting girls who's pants are soaking when they come out of the theater because of those two.[/QUOTE]
oooh...do i sense jealousy?
girls pee the pants after talking to me too.

well then you'd give a whole new meaning to the word diarrhea.
You know what it's time for. Your Pirates update.....
Pirates grossed yet another $20 million this weekend. Pirates has now grossed $358 million in the U.S. It is now ELEVENTH on the all time list in the U.S. It just passed Finding Nemo, LOTR two towers, and the legendary Jurassic Park.
Next up: Passion of the Christ.
Did I mention Pirates is easily the top grossing movie of the year by more than $100 million? ("Cars" is 2nd with $234 million).
When will the madness end?
I still don't get it......
POTC2 is just a solid flick. its one of the few summer blockbusters that actually delivers. it kills SUperman and XMen. just kills them. and it does it despite the charisma challenged Orlando Bloom playing a main character.
You know what it's time for...your Pirates update!!!!!
How good is this movie doing? It opened July 7th, and on Wednesday, August 2nd...it was STILL the number one movie for the day....FOUR WEEKS LATER.
The movie made $2.5 million on Wednesday, edging out Miami Vice.
The movie has now grossed $366 million dollars - and is about to break into the Top Ten All Time.
And I STILL don't get it.......
My name is in the credits.
You know what it's time for....your Pirates update!!!!
And BOOM, Pirates bolts past some more competition. It is now at $379 million after making another $11 million this weekend, still finishing THIRD for the weekend even after being out five weeks.
It is now EIGHTH on the All time U.S. Box office list. It just passed Passing of the Christ, Spider lose 2, Lord of the Rings: Return to Ninth Place.....
Right around the corner: Star Wars - Revenge of the (didn't quite make) Sixth (place)
And I still don't get it.......
One of my earliest memories as a kid was riding the ride Pirates of the Caribbean. Loved it ever since and loved the movies.

Add another day to the total, and now another milestone....
After Monday's total, Pirates has now grossed $381 million in the U.S., putting it [B]SEVENTH[/B] on the All Time List. It just passed Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith. Looks like $400 MILLION is in the bag....
It has made $773 million worldwide. A billion dollars, here we come....
And I still don't get it.....
[QUOTE=bagelred]Why does Pirates of Carribbean do so freakin' well at the box office? This sequel is probably going to be one of the highest grossing movies of all time. It has an outside chance of beating Titanic for THE #1 GROSSING movie of all time.
I simply don't get it. Nothing about the movie looks appealing to me....
Can anyone explain why?[/QUOTE]
The first one was great seen it at least 3-4 times, JDepp was funny as hell in that movie. The sequels was meh.

part 5 coming in 2014/2015.
[QUOTE=Nick Young]The star wars of their generation:rockon:[/QUOTE]
umm no.
the first 3 Star Wars were well liked then and are well remembered now.
I don't know anyone who liked Pirates 2 & 3.
4 was decent enough but it was still a bit of a mess.
