Which is your favorite?

Funny you would mention the Matrix trilogy because I haven't seen any of those...yet. I've heard they were all good and have been curious to see them even right after they came out. My boyfriend owns them, so I'll have to borrow them from him and watch them. We should discuss again after I see the Matrix trilogy and you see the Pirates trilogy. Sound like a good plan? (LOL) I appreciate your response regardless of the fact you've not seen them yet!

sounds like a plan for sure.

I think the last one is unwatchable. If you find the second confusing and boring then the third is much worse.

Hi, Trans! It's great to hear from you.

Row, thanks for your input. I agree with you to a point on the last movie of the trilogy.

Trans, after seeing the first two movies I preferred the first also because the second was a bit confusing and hard to follow. The third was hard to understand at first (probably since it had been so long since I'd seen the second), but I really, REALLY liked it once I'd seen the entire movie. There may be a few things you don't understand in the third, but most of it will come together in the end. (Of course, if everything wrapped up in a neat little package at the end of every movie, that wouldn't make you want to watch it again because you'd already remember what happens!)

I highly recommend watching the third movie considering you've already seen the first two. I agree with Row in a way because the third will confuse you the first time you see it, but you'll really like it. I think Johnny Depp does the best in the last movie! He's absolutely hilarious. There are a lot more characters also who they bring back from the second and first movies.

I'm going to buy the trilogy as soon as they start selling them as a set. They're too hard to follow after watching them just once! I also think the actors do a great job.

Let me know what you think when you watch "At World's End," Trans, and thank you both for your responses!

Thanks for such a detailed response!!:)

You are more than welcome, Trans!

I'm glad to hear you've seen the complete trilogy. I liked the third the most, then the first, then the second the least. Confusing? (LOL) I definitely know what you mean by the third movie, though. It was so hard to follow because they kept throwing in new actors and actors from the second and first movies, then some would die and more would be added to the scene. Yikes! It was hard to watch the third one, too, because I was eating and almost choked at certain parts! (LOL) Thanks for your input. It was funny to read.:)

The third one is one of my favorites too. I'm glad you liked the trilogy. A lot of people say they're hard to follow, but if you own them and have the ability to watch them whenever you want, I'm sure you pick up on things you didn't notice the first time around. That makes me happy you like them. I'm hoping to get the complete trilogy this spring for my birthday. (LOL) Thanks for your response!

I can definitely see where you're coming from. I liked the first movie also. I like all three, but that would bother me not to finish the third! That's just the way I am. Once I start a movie, I have to finish it no matter how bad it is. (LOL) I'm glad you have a favorite. The second was very hard to follow and the third seemed to get worse. At the end, though, everything was ok and it all kind of wrapped up nicely. I hope you are able to tolerate watching the entire third movie sometime. (LOL) Thanks for your input!

Sometimes sequels to movies as well and trilogies seem like the writers were trying too hard to make them as good as the first when they create the plot when they can't possibly make them as good as the first. It's a hard call because so many times this is the case. The sequels are never as good as the first. If I analyze this particular trilogy, the plot was really good in the first, but I don't know that they transitioned between movies very well. They're all about the same length, over two hours. That takes a lot to keep someone's interest for that long. The first was very good at doing so. I don't know what it was in particular about them that made the trilogy as a whole so choppy! I'll have to go back and watch them again to see if that makes it any better. I've seen the first a couple times, but I haven't watched the other two over yet. Thanks for your response and for being honest! (LOL)

The third movie is probably my most favorite also. I really enjoyed reading your response about that particular movie because I remember all of those parts you menioned! I agree that Johnny Depp does an excellent job (almost too good - lol!) at that particular character. My favorite part of the third movie is when Captain Jack Sparrow's ship gets moved by all the crabs. I also like the parts you described. Thanks for your response. It was fun to read and I could definitely picture the parts of the movie you described!

LOL i also like that part! those crabs are strong when together.^__^;;

I like when Captain Sparrow licks the crab to see if it's something else to eat, and then he chucks it as far as he can only to find it's right back where it was before he threw it a minute later. The confused look on his face after that is priceless!

The first movie was definitely very exciting! It's because it was the "new thing." There aren't many pirate movies out there, and Disney did a great job picking actors and actresses to play the parts. After the first movie, the actors and actresses really got comfortable in their characters. I think all the movies where good and the third had an excellent conclusion. I agree with you, though. There are many things that make the first one unique. And it's like you said, "it was first!" That gives it an advantage.

I'm glad you mentioned the music. That's something that hadn't yet been addressed in this discussion yet. I really like how it's continuous with the same basic theme throughout all three movies. The music is a key part in the trilogy also. The majority of response have leaned toward your view on the movies themselves because most people said they like the first one the best also! Although I don't disagree with you, I really like the last movie the best...so far. I've only seen all of them through once, but perhaps my ideas would change if I watched them all again. I really appreciate your input, Zevabe!

I liked the computer animation also. It put a nice twist on the movie. The interesting thing is that they only used the animation in the one movie rather than all three. I think that's why "Dead Man's Chest" is the most unique of the three. Thanks for sharing!
