Maddie and I recently watched all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies in one week (we would have had a marathon, but let's be realistic here). I thought thought maybe if I watched all three in a row, I would appreciate the second and third ones a little more. It's not that I don't appreciate them for what they are. I like the story line (when it's coherent) and I still love the characters. Not to mention the INCREDIBLE soundtracks by Hans Zimmer. I just wish that the second and third movies had a little less of eye-popping special effects and recycled jokes and a little more magic and mystery like the first one. I wish that Capt. Jack Sparrow, instead of being a bumbling idiot and an accidental hero, could be more like the Jack Sparrow in the first movie. Even though he made each situation hilarious with his wit and general Jack-ness, he always had some sense of control whether it was another secret up his sleeve or another twist in his already complicated plot.Anyway, I always have more to say but I think it is often wise to let it go unsaid. Enjoy the poll on the sidebar there.

I would vote, but have only seen the first one, so it would be no good...I enjoy your comments though!
Hi Amy! This is April (Harber) Kim...I found your blog and could not resist commenting since we just watched the 3rd one the other day. I have to agree with everything you said. I don't really appreciate the 2nd and 3rd and a lot of that is because half the time I don't understand what they are saying. But I did love the 1st one. It was great!
I have to agree with you! The first one was great, and the other two just don't live up to it. Well spoken. :)
