299: Pirates of the Caribbean 5 - Dead Man Tell No Tales




The ONLY Pirates of the Caribbean movie that we haven't seen. We are behind. Honestly, this movie was good, but not amazing like its predecessors. I think Johnny maybe had a little of Mad Hatter in his way of acting as Jack, that he didn't have before, and it kind of bugged me. He was still Jack, there was just another something something in there that didn't belong. I did however, love Captain Salazar. He was so good, I mean it was a little distracting with his mouth with the black leaking out and my mom was distracted by his hair until I told her why it was doing that. As if he was still under water. But he was great and I had no idea that he was on the set of Stranger Tides for his wife Penelope and then got asked to be on this one, until I saw the behind the scenes. Funny how things turn out.

There was plenty of humor in this one and that was great, it was not lacking in it and the movies are great with humor. I laughed pretty hard when Jack was spinning with his head in the guillotine, the blade coming close and then thunking away from him. That was SO great. Ha, ha. There is a difference in how this is done compared to the other ones, it still feels like Pirates of the Caribbean, but it isn't as great as it should've and could've been. They should've brought back the previous director or directors from the other movies. My personal opinion. It was just lacking something and I don't know how to describe what it was.

I am curious as to what is to come next, they are currently working on the next one and with how the end credit scene was...my theory is that because all curses are broken, that means that Davy Jones is no longer dead because he was killed and bound to a curse that whoever stabbed his heart, would be the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. With Will's dream he had before he woke up and then panning down the floor where the water and barnacle was....me thinks that my theory is correct. We shall see what they cook up and bring us. The adventure is far from over and it would be cool, like my mom said, "To see him get older and play Jack forever."

397-461 The End

Image
Last and final mass movie post! I finally did it guys/gals, I completed my movie goal today!!!! I can't believe that I watched 461 movies in one year! I also can't believe I own that many movies! Now I did give some away and weeded some out, but I mean, seriously. This is insane and I am so proud of myself. Finally completing something that I said I would do, that is so huge. The feeling of doing something like this and going through it, I know that someone can do anything as long as you are determined. There were days that I just didn't want to watch the next movie in line, I wasn't in the mood for it and I had to just do it. I will procrastinate like no other, but I somehow forced myself. Here are the remaining movies of the goal: THAT IS IT! Can you believe it? Now the moment of truth, the picture of my movies to show you that ye

168: Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

First off...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Now I can get into the movie. This is my 2nd time seeing this one and I forgot that two people died at the end and not just Kili. I mean I cried, I cried really hard when the Elf King told her the reason why it hurt so much was because her love for him was real. My big emotional scale through this movie was, anxiety from all the battle going on, to "come on Thorin, get your head out of your ass", to "YAY THORIN IS BACK", to back heartbreak at the death of Fili, Kili and Thorin, to glad the war was over and Bilbo could go home...of course only to find out his personal effects were being auctioned off. I mean I know there is a lot of CGI in this movie and this one is my least favorite, but not because of that reasoning that is so many others'. I think it is because now they have to defend what they quested for and a lot of death. I mean you can't have a happy ending without fighting for it, but I definitely prefe

327: Riddick

Back to basics. To the animal side. The Furian side. Let's be honest here, the dog stole the show. We all want Riddick's dog, that one, not his brother or his sister, that dog. Now that that is cleared up, I do like that they went back to the rated R that this movie is and deserves. Yeah I do love the Chronicles of Riddick movie, a lot and it is my favorite, but there is something lacking. With this you also get the whole survival of the fittest, lone wolf, in the middle of nowhere man trying to find his home and who he is again. It also wouldn't be Riddick without throwing it back to the Pitch Black days. Aliens that come out in the cover of darkness or in this case, rain. Then you also get the father of the man who was being a douchebag in Pitch Black. You know, the one that wanted to kill the girl to save his own skin? Yeah that one. Glad to know that his father is a better man than he was, but kind of sad to watch him find out the horrible thing about his son.
