Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : At World's End

Was late for maths cause I thought I had time to nap when my alarm rang. Sadly, I was mistaken. But daddy dear fixed it by sending me to college and conveniently used that later as the reason he left his documents behind! Hahaha. But he nicely took it back after I pointed out that he left it behind because he forgot about it and not because he was rushing to send me. =p

Walked into the room to discover that half the class was going to see Pirates. Oh, did I mention there were only about 10 students in class? Haha. Wanted to leave early as the movie was at 11.30 but Mdm. Lin went off halfway to take her boosters and ended class late. So Wil Liam, Ee Wei, Jyh Min, Yong Jing, Ai Kheng and I left for 1U 10 minutes before the show started. Met up with Simone, Leon, Sate and John and as usual someone met someone else they knew. I can't remember a recent occasion where I was in 1U and did not run into someone I knew. And when that day comes, I'm going to buy myself a big ice-cream cone to mark the occasion. Don't get me wrong, I rather enjoy bumping into people outside, but there are times when you'd rather have some privacy and go unspotted among the crowd as total strangers.

So the cinema was jam-packed full and we were seated in the 4th row from the screen. I don't think I've ever been this close to the screen. Its an experience! And we saw the curtains closing. Haha. But I bet you all had more fun the last time when we were so early that you all could do that shiok sendiri thing in the cinema when it was all so dark and quiet, right? Hehe. =p

Warning, spoilers for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (POTC 3) coming up!

Wait, this isn't a spoiler. Just a reminder to stay after the credits for an extra scene!

So if you haven't watched the show yet, you should just scroll past the spoiler bit.

The beginning was a bit morbid for a Disney show, but its a pirate show and not some cartoon comedy show so tak apa lah. Johnny Depp gave a stunning performance as usual and kinda stole the limelight, Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom were good, and so was Geoffrey Rush who played Capt. Barbossa. I kinda like Capt. Barbossa's character, its actually quite funny and nice now. I didn't really like Tia Dalma's Jamaican accent in Pirates 2, and I still don't like it now. And it was a bit surprising that Chow Yun Fat as Sao Feng died so fast and his screen time was quite short. And Captain Teague (Jack's father) reminds me of Captain Hook in the movie Peter Pan. While the movie was nice, I felt a little lost as the plot was a bit convoluted this time around as they didn't explain much about the pieces o' eight and Calypso and the Brethren Court. Or maybe they did, but I felt it was insufficient. And the ending was like, what the heck was that about?! Why did Will Turner have to be the captain of the Flying Dutchman??? Now he can only be reunited with Elizabeth Swann for one day every 10 years cause that's the only time he can set foot on land. Aaaarrrgghhh! What happened to picture perfect Disney endings?! But I suppose an ending like this like this leaves possibilities for a sequel of some sort. Other than that, its good that Elizabeth got her freedom to sail the seven seas with her own ship. But I'd be as happy to see her and Will happily married ashore. As for Jack Sparrow, sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow I mean, he's still a pirating rogue who'll end up in all sorts of situations and land on his two feet no matter where he may be . =)

Would it be too much to hope for a 4th Pirate?
