Rum jokes. More rum jokes. More rum jokes. Actually, that's the best part of redudancy.

Ok let's get serious....

Movie One:

Will and Elizabeth have obstacles in the way of their relationship:
There's another man...Norrington.
Her Dad.

Then there's the whole crew abandoning Jack.

And more back-stabbing than high school girls.


Movie Two:

Will and Elizabeth still have obstacles in the way....and guess what they are? The only change is Jack looks like the other man to Will.

And still the more back-stabbing than the high school girls.

Not to mention this movie basically was a world record for how many times we can see a ship sail in the water. And waaay too many references to the first movie too many times.

Movie Three:

Guess who's relationship still has obstacles?

And did I mention almost every guy with more than twenty lines has a lust/love for Elizabeth?

And Jack gets abadoned again.

And more back-stabbing.

More flaws:

The screenwriters keep conviently making things more than they appear. In the first movie, the compass seemed to point to "the isle that can't be found" but in the second it became the whole heart's desire thing.

And then the heart ended up having a curse on it in the third.

Now, I'm not saying I don't like these movies, but the first one was so much better than the second and third.

And Spider-man may have flaws too, but not like Pirates.

Are you kidding me? The thing had zero plot. The guy actually had a dance scene.
I liked it. Peter Parker is supposed to be a total dork and it really let the true Tobey Maguire shine through in all his nerdy dance glory.

But to be fair, POTC's cast is a lot better that Spidey's

I definitely preferred the first Pirates, but the others were still good.
Also, Ianna, if you think the second had a lot of sailing in, have you seen any proper naval movies? Master and Commander springs to mind as a fairly recent one...

Thank you. Much as I do like Spidy, Pirates does prevail. Will and Lizzies relationship is a bit stupid, but then again its Will. So there you go. And Elizebeth runs around in low cut dresses and is the only good looking girl in the film. No wonder all the guys like her.

Edit: I see Norington has been mentioned. Admitedly in the first one he was an idiot, and in the second one he went on to become drunk norington (creepy) and bad norington. But in the third movie you get good norington, or James. He's quite good, even if he is only around for about five minutes.

The Ninja describes Kiera Knightley as "a slightly more manly version of Orlando Bloom". I laughed.

That's called bandwagoning, that is.

300 was good, but not the best, spiderman is always the same thing over and over, and gets old. Pirates is funny, but tthat is always very similar too, like the abandoning Jack... I have to say none of them are the best... the best is definately LOTR
