We went to see Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest at the weekend and I did what I never understood my dad doing when I was younger. Back then we could be sitting,
getting into a film in the house and I’d look over and my da would have fallen asleep – well that was me at Pirates.Â
It’s mostly a decent picture. 45 minutes less would have been enough to make it more than decent – the difficulty was knowing that this movie is a prelude to a third i believe it should not have stretched what little story there was – surely there’s no need for two more films to tell a story they could have told in one!Â
I’ll go see the last one – even if it’s just to prove the young kid who did a Homer on the way out wrong! As we left and folks were lining up ouside he shouted – I can’t believe he died!” – brilliant, neither can I…
