    I've seen it twice

    If you liked the first one you will definately like the second one, good humour, fantastic action sequences ,and delightful visuals, Keira isn't bad on the eyes either

    Kilted is probably the most comfie way to see a movie.

    Last two years I've gone black-kilted to our town's big Oktoberfest - a biker rally. Never a problem, many compliments and where to buy questions.

    I've found that the more "individualistic" groups are far more accepting of the kilt and the common masses. Goths, Bikers, punk, hippies, just about any groups that could be labeled as "differet" or "wierd" are normally the ones who are far more accepting and inquisitive of the kilt than the common jeans/khaki wearing masses.

    just a wee observation...

    Nope.

    Pulling cable through an attic, for example.

    I thought the first "Pirates..." was the most fun "summer blockbuster" I had ever seen. I went to this movie with fairly moderate expectations and had fun. The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and Sinbad enjoyed it. It isn't nearly as good as the first one and much of the humor throughout the film is referencing something from the first movie. There are great visuals, and Davy Jones is an amazing blend of acting and cg imagery. If I were rating these movies I would give the first movie an A- while the second rates only a C+
    Will I watch the third film next summer? Of course!

    Glad the movie was worth seeing. That is on our list. Can anybody let me know if a 3 and a 5 year old would enjoy it, or it is appropriate?

    A couple of things. This movie is 2+ hours long (which is a lot to ask someone under six years old to sit through). My 6 year son thought that this was scarier than the first movie. We didn't take my 3 1/2 year old daughter to the film because for those two reasons.

    Hey...we'll all go see the third installment just to see Keith Richards!

    ...and if he speaks in the film, I hope that they have sub-titles!

    I would point out that the second film in a trilogy is usually the weakest...consider Back to the Future II...did that suck or what? But BTTF III was a blast.

    Not always though, I would point out "LOR:Two Towers", "ST: The Wrath of Khan*", "SW: The Empire Strikes Back", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Superman II*" as examples where the second film was better than the third (and sometimes the first movie) of a trilogy.

    Cheers
