Ok, you can color me totally shocked.¬† When I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 early last week, I walked out of it knowing I didn’t love it.¬† I still ended up giving it a 7/10, but was a little let down.¬† But seriously, I thought I might be the only critic who didn’t love it.¬† I thought everyone else was going to love it.¬† Looks like I was wrong.
I was really surprised to see that the critics aren’t giving Pirates 2 the loving warm embrace I thought they’d give it.
Right now on Rotten Tomatoes it only has a 53%
On Metacritic Pirates is holding just a 51%
These aren’t TERRIBLE numbers… but a LOT lower than what I expected.¬† Yes, Pirates 2 is an inferior film to the first one… but I still thought it deserved a bit better than 51 and 52% respectively.
As in everything else… you’ll just have to see it for yourself.
