Well, I managed to hold off my resident Pirates and Disney fanatic from rushing out to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean Movie until cheap Tuesday rolled around, and boy am I glad I did not pay full price for that stinker.
While I am all for this latest 3D craze, I really wish they would stop doing so many the lazy way. I knew going into it that this was supposed to be one of the "bad" 3D films and would have simply watched it in 2D if given the choice, but alas, 3D was the only convenient showtime.
Here's the deal movie producers; 3D glasses necessarily block some of the light coming through to your eye. This means that you should not film 80% of your movie in dimly lit rooms if you want it to be in 3D. Pretty simple.
But enough of beating that dead horse, bad 3D is bad, whatever. The real problem is the movie itself is meandering and nonsensical, with giant plot holes galore. It's not complex and interesting... it's just stupid. The humor is pretty weak as well... there are a couple laughs, but most of the jokes miss the mark.
The one saving grace was the mermaids... or seavampires? (I mean come on... fangs and burning up in the sun? They're totally vampires right?) They were pretty and deadly and made for the single interesting action sequence (minus blowing up the lighthouse for some unexplained reason)
I didn't think it could be any worse than the last one, but it comes pretty close. On the plus side there was a pretty sweet trailer for the muppets movie in front of it.
