Which Is Your Favorite Pirates?

By John - July 11, 2006 - 08:57 America/Montreal

Hey there folks. I’ve got a silmple poll for ya.

With the huge numbers Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has been pulling in and all of the debate and comparisions between the 2 Pirates movies, I thought I’d bring up the simple question.

Which of the 2 Pirates of the Caribbean films was better? Which one did you enjoy the most? Give us your answer in the poll below.

    Anyway, second Pirates by far. There were moments in the cinema where the entire audience was sitting there smiling the screen

    The wicker ball scene and the rolling wheel scene stoood out in the film.

    I watched the first one shortly after the second, and I believe the bad guys were better in the first one, but the second one was much better overall.

  3. 1st POTC is better, but the 2nd one was still very good. I think the 3rd has the potential to be the best.

    I know I /really/ love DMC, and that I want to stand up for it due to the mixed opinions about it, but I’ve got to be honest: CBP was much better.

    Dead Man’s Chest didn’t have a clear plotline, like…I believe you said, John, in your audio. Definitely agree with you. The movie tried for a solid story, but it ended up growing shaky. Secondly, too much extraneous characters and scenes were scrunched into terrible places, for instance, the whole native chapter. I can understand the purpose behind it and the entertainment it gave, but there was too much going on: Turner gets put in cages with the crew, Jack about to be roasted, Jack escapes, Turner and crew escape, Jack gets caught again, Jack about to roasted again, yadda yadda yadda.

    Then again, DMC’s effects were even better than the first, I’ve got to give them that. I thoroughly enjoyed the villains much more than Barbossa and his crew, too.

    Though I mean, earnestly, I loved Pirates II. Four stars, probably, but, hell, the first one was /amazing/. Probably /inspiring/. Even though the second was plain fantastic, it does not compare to the first.

    Dead’s Man’s Chest was the biggest disappointment of the year to me. So weird that I thought Supes would suck and I LOVED it, and I thought Pirates would rock and I HATED it.

  9. darren seeley says:

    The first one…although…and I am in the minority here….
    “Cutthoat Island” was more entertaining that EITHER film.
