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.

I was just about to say that the last time I saw a film in a cinema was when "The Sound of Music" was released - the first time! Then I remembered that I went to see "Troy" a few years ago, in one of the new multi-screen complexes - a miserable experience. The 'cinema' was little larger than my sitting room, the screen only a little larger than my new LCD flat TV and the sound was so loud it was badly distorted. The entire building absolutely reeked of the sickening smell of popcorn, which I loathe, and the price of admission was horrendously expensive for one film and about a dozen trailers.

The only good thing about that evening was that it was an opportunity for me to wear one of my leather kilts (I forget which one) as a mark of solidarity with Brad Pitt!!

Something serious will have to be done to restore the joy and thrill of cinema-going before I venture back inside one of them.
