omg. I have just come from watching Pirates of the Caribbean

I don't think it is spoilery to say that I liked it. a lot. I had expected it to be pretty silly and it turned out pretty good.

But to avoid lots of drama I will cut the rest.


I had gone into it expecting a lot of really cheesy bad acting, bad dialogue stuff, and while it had its fair share of giggle worthy lines, it was actually surprisingly good. Fisrt off: it actually had some semblance of a plot, which, for a movie named after a ride at Disneyland, was pretty damned cool. And the acting was good. But you guys already knew that since it's Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom and all.

The main girl in the movie is Elizabeth, who is played by Kiera Knightly who was in Bend It Like Beckam a totally kickass movie about female soccer players. And according to the PotC website, she's only 18, which really suprised me. She was really good, even if she was stealing Orlando away from Johnny.

And Orlando, was really good. *sigh* I am such a fangirl. But yes, it was yet again an Orlando with swords movie. Which is just, so so kinky. And once again he proves that he is damned good with a sword too. AND he got to use two at once, it was a total Legolas fight scene. Very kickass. Okay and the end in the outfit with the hat? GAH. heissofrickinhot! I love Orlando Bloom, so much. how unexpected was that? Did you really think I could make it through an entire post without mentioning that little fact? But yeah, Orlando in that hat and a cape, with his hair all long and curly. Oh man I so have a new fetish. Musketeer style, oh yeah baby. However I will add that despite the hotness his character, was a bit dull, heroic but a bit dull, especially complared to Captain Jack Sparrow.

The captain, Johnny Depp's character, who looked ridiculous on the previews actually came across quite well I thought. I warmed up to him a lot during this movie. But the hair? still bothers me, why exactly did they feel the need to make him into a gypsy/reggae/pirate? But yeah, he had some badass fight scenes, and some pretty cool lines. And Johnny Depp definitely made his character a lot more interesting than he was probably written.

So yeah, the movie was good, and I'm gonna see it again, and supposedly there's something to watch after the credits so don't forget to stay for that. I couldn't stay cause we didn't wanna have to clean the theater (it was an employee showing). One thing to keep in mind though is that you've kinda gotta go into the movie in the mindset of, "this isn't a serious movie, I'm just gonna watch it and have fun". And bring some tissues to wipe up the drool.

I now want Orlando/Johnny slash, or some Jack Sparrow/Will Turner slash, or both. Go watch the movie and get to writing people!
