And I am a little surprised by that.
Up until a couple months ago I had zero interest in this franchise. To be honest it looked incredibly stupid, and a waste of my time. But after seeing previews for "On Stranger Tides" I thought 'Why not? I've not seen a truly big blockbuster in the theaters in awhile". So I got to catching up on the previous entries.
Look they're all dumb, but I watched "Curse" in January and walked away from it really not having that good of a time and didn't bother to watch the other two until this past week, I was so uninterested after watching the first. Imagine my shock and surprise when I enjoyed "Dead" and "World's" to a great degree, getting totally lost in the fun, and the absurdity, of it all. I mean it's been a long time quite awhile since I've seen films this flawed, but yet I couldn't give a flying damn because they're just so much damn fun!
Perhaps I need to go back and give the initial film another go?
I love the first and don't mind the last but I like to pretend the second and third never happened. From totally screwing up the Will and Elisabeth story, to the idiotic and never-ending mind-numbing action sequences (the stupid wheel walking thing almost did my head in).
As far as I am concerned, 2 and 3 didn't exist and Will and Elisabeth's story ended on the end of 1. Most women died at age 50 back then, so realistically she got to see Will 2 more times and then she croaks, what kind of story is that? But of course she'll just wait patiently for those two whole times for the rest of her life.... Stupidity in action.
