Pirates of the Caribbean
So far Disney has done pretty much zero -- in terms of media, featurettes and clips -- to support the film and we can only hope they kick into the high seas this week.
For now, however, how about another early review?
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Early Review
Another early review for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has come floating our way and, like the rest, wishes a Pirate's life for all.
Every imaginable pirate fantasy is joyously bundled into a bewitching treasure chest in this action-adventure sequel. A swashbuckling pirate, swordplay on rooftops, a mythical sea monster, a fish-faced villain, secret buried treasure, a mystic, a blood debt, a gallant hero, feisty heroine and much more. If anything, there is too much more, including the film's running time, which is long at 150 minutes. But it is unlikely there will be many complaints. It is easy to be swept away into Gore Verbinski's imagination-ripe world. Its larger-than-life characters are coloured by comic relief and awesome special effects are used to whet the appetite of our fantasies.
The production design, make up and special effects allow us to suspend our disbelief so we can jump happily on board for the ride. And this is indeed a ride, having come a long way since the original ride in Disneyland. Humour is part of the script's fabric, and the film is as fun as it is bawdy. No need to concentrate. Just allow yourself to be swept away by the wave of entertainment that gushes, lifts and enthralls.
