I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean on Sunday. It was okay. Lacked something that the first one had though. Not sure what though. Maybe it was the impressiveness. I mean, I saw the first one because my friend forced me to since we were on the ferry back from Holland and there was nothing else to do. I fully expected it to suck and it really really didn't. Maybe I had too high expectations. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't awful or anything, it just wasn't the first one. Which is kinda obvious really. And without giving too much away, the ending is designed to set it up for the third film, so unlike the first one, this can't stand on its own. It needs the popularity of the first to bring in the audience, and it needs the third for a conclusion. So basically, it's a sequel. Lets be honest, it's very rare for a sequel to out-wow the original. It's not unlike the second Matrix film in that it seems like half a film. Annoying, because the conclusion to the original one was fine without opening it all up again. I hated both Matrix sequels though, and I didn't hate this. I just felt slightly let down.

Now, next thing I have to see is Superman Returns. That better be good. No idea when I'll get to see it though, I'm working all the time at the moment. That's the annoying thing about my job, when the good films come out, I can't go see them because I'd have to give up the extra hours I get because of the huge numbers of other people booking to see them. Saturday was insane. 9-8, none stop. And I only got half a dinner time. I'm expecting this Saturday to be just as bad, worse in fact because all day I'll know I have to work the Sunday this week too. *sigh* Oh well, at least I get paid for it!

Ah yes, Superman Returns, THE film to see, maybe better than X-Men 3... ok, so now how to have a pseudo here, without being a livejournal user ?

Not sure I'd go so far as to say better than X-Men 3. Epspcially before Superman is released! But I've always been more into X-Men that Superman.

Who is this btw?

I've gotta see this film. Well H will probably drag me to see it in a Johnny Depp obsessed moment anyway but I still want to see it. LOL

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

Definitely worth seeing, but it'd probably have been better if they'd released 2 and 3 together. Would have been on loooooooooong film though!

Seen it yet?

U sound overworked, u need a holiday, one without movies or films to remind u of work :0)

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

I wish! I may get one in december, I still haven't heard back yet if they'll let me take the time off. I don't balme them for taking their time, after all, I'd miss eight whole hours of work the way I booked it! lol

I just realised that you know my house mate Tony, its a small world

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

Sort of. We've chatted drunkenly about sci-fi while at Spiders. If that counts as knowing someone then yeah. Even if not, it is a coincidence. I didn't know u were housemates

i hope Superman Returns dosen't suck too! if Batman Begins was any thing to go bye then we are in for a treet!

[poip0001.livejournal.com]

u really think, i thought batman begins sucked, but i admit im not an expert on these matters with a taste for it like u, but i thought that movie both sucked and blew, first batman movie was good i thought, with the joker with michael keaton as batman.

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

Sucked?!

[prepare4trouble.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed then. But I don't know why Batman Begins would be something to go by...
