Just got back from a digital screening of the movie at The Cathay. Overall the day was enjoyable. I managed to hangout with my bestest buddies (9 of em altogether) and we had lots of fun.
As for the movie, it was almost the total opposite. The movie itself has recieved some mixed reviews, and it is clearly evident that there are two distinct group of people. One group who hated the movie, and another, who liked the movie. Unfortunately, i would be with the group that hated the movie.
To put it briefly, i dont really like the movie because of several issues. The first being the overly complicated,saturated never ending plot of betrayal, backstabbing and deceit between the characters in the movie. As you watch, and the movie progresses, you will realised that each of the characters has their own agenda and its tough to remember and keep track on who is on which side as they not only seed lies and deceit, they also change alliances real quickly and sometimes its not clear what the true motives or intentions are.
Secondly, i find it hard to follow their dialogue. I dunno if it was just me, but there are certain parts of the movie where the dialogues gets so muddles, you barely understand what they say in the end. One good example is the case of Tia Dalma. Her dialogues and conversations were at the very least cryptic. If only they would speak louder or in a much more clearer accent, while at the same time maintaining a piratey accent, i wouldnt mind at all. I think this is one of the very few movies that i would personally require an english subtitle, for an english movie. Furthermore, i find the dialogs bland and uninteresting.
The movie would have been much better, if the plot is simplified, while at the same time interesting to last the entire movie. I dont see the need to have such complicated storylines and even if it is necessary i am very sure it could have been done in a more understandable approach.
Clocking at almost 3 hours, the real action begins towards the end. There were interesting action and climatic scenes in between, but they are often short bursts of action. But the redeeming factor is firstly the movie is long and is somewhat worth your money, and secondly, the special effects are pretty fantastic.
Overall, its just an ok movie, if you can endure the 3 hour movie and secondly just go for the heck of seeing the somewhat hilarious Captain Jack Sparrow.

The movie was a total anticlimax, especially the fight scenes at the end. I blame the music played during the fights. What happened to that great track playing during the trailers?! The plot is hard to follow, but not impossible. Just go watch the second movie right before you go for the third. As for the show’s ending, my friend predicted it about halfway into the show. (as per normal) But I think they did a great job keeping the ending ahard to guess. Did anyone else stay until the end of the movie credits? There’s a small scene placed 10 years later.
Yeah i did, but it wasnt as hilarious as the second part of the movie lol!
I almost had a nervous breakdown being not able to follow most of it. I agree the dialogs were very very unclear. I was having a nice evening with my girlfriend but this movie ruined it. I hate these fucking trilogies. Usually the first movie is good and the follow ups are nothing but a complicated attempt to keep the story alive. Nothing but a three hour torture. I would suggest to read the plot before watching the movie
