lauraanne_gilmanin three easy steps.
1. Rocks.
2. Go, see.
3. Way much fun.
It's not the frolic of a mindless romp the first movie was -- there you walked out and thought 'what just happened?' Here there's an actual plot. That almost makes sense. And how sad is it when we all agreed that Depp was the third prettiest man in the movie? (almost the fourth, behind Kiera Knightly). Scruffy Norrington(TM)...mmm. Never let that man near a powdered wig ever again, k?
It's like a morally confused "Raiders" blended with a shot of quality Monty Python, and a chaser of AbFab. I'd list my favorite moments, but there were too many and they came at you too fast to remember. I need the dvd....
"Why is the rum gone, again? Oh. That's why."
Yeah, it was long. And it's clearly setting you up for the third movie. But that doesn't invalidate a) the fun to be had in this one and b) the fact that 85% of the plot is entirely this movie, not set-up. I call that a fair percentage.
Oh. And so many many props to the fight choreographers. Seriously. If you've seen it, you know what I mean.
