Ahoy thar Howie!
Cap'n Jack is back!

i just viewed the trailer several times,,so much happens!,,if ye blink you miss something. Likes the shot of Jack with a bunch of eyes painted on his
face,,then he opens his own eyes,kinda freaky that.
So,,,Cap'n Jack owes his soul to Davey Jones does he?

-------is that Cap'n Squid?!!!!!! playing that part? informing Cap'n Jack of this debt?--------

Aye,,this does certainly looks interesting.

One Last tip for ye alls,,
click on "trailer" on the wooden board that appears by Jolly Roger.
you now have two choices,,"Super Bowl Tv Commercial" or
"trailer"
choose "trailer"
then click on "other viewing options"
choose "Windows Media Player high"
then
Right click on the viewing area, in the box go to zoom,,,here you can select
"Full Screen",,,instead of seeing the trailer in the small window,
you can now see it fullscreen!

I hope that it's better then pirates of the carrabean,i hate that movie,no realism at all,cursed pirates who become skeletal-pirates at night,how unrealistic.

I agree the movie was a bit hokey at best but it was a good movie that was fun to watch. If we want something realistic then POC doesn't fit the bill.

For realism I guess a show on History Channel or some educational film would be best.

POC was a fantasy that just happened to have pirates as the main characters I think. Oh well. Wink

Still... I *CAN* understand how Sonicsfan feels to some degree. The POC movie did tend to take itself serious in a realistic way, atleast up until Barbosa reveals himself as an undead.

Personally, the biggest realism snags I hit are technical ones. For instance, how on earth is the Black Pearl faster than the Interceptor when it has large, gaping holes in its sails. Stupid stuff like that.

In the end though, POC was a great movie. I have high expectations for the sequal.

I agree Murray it definitely did take liberties that were very unbelievable. But it is Hollywood. If it wasn't like that then it wouldn't be any fun to watch.

Who would want to watch a movie with a bunch of guys hobbling around on a peg leg with a black eye patch on saying Arrrr. all the time. That would be kind of silly and unrealistic. LOL. Laughing

well,,it is entertainment,it's fantasy with a bit of the Twilightzone thrown in,it's an escape from the humdrum mundane real world of going to work,paychecks and neverending bills to pay.
No more unreal or un-believable than movies that have faster than
light star ships, laser swords, the "force", klingons, aliens that burst out of
peoples bellys, or a car chase scene when a car hits a tubleweed and the
tumbleweed somehow launches the car 50ft thru the air,,or in army war
movies,,ever notice how those watch towers always seem to made out of highly explosive wood and blow when small arms fire erupts,,or the single hand grenade that explodes with the force of a full battery of 155mm HE shells, a tornado scene where the tornado picks up a gasoline tanker semi
truck and hurls it like a toy but does not scratch the little pick up truck that drives right up to it,a volcanoe in LA, an ice ige that developes almost instantly,space shuttles landing on asteroids, a flaming eye that lives on top of a stone castle watchtower that apeears to be as tall as the sears tower,or school kids playing a variation of basketball riding on flying brooms,or just about any other hollywood movie you can think of.

So why is it so hard to beleive that a cursed- supernatural ship can outsail
anything else? The laws of science and physics do not apply there in the
supernatural world.

POC was NEVER meant to be factual, or a documentary. it is a Fantasy,,
just like playing this game is. a pirate that retires and becomes a well
repsected member of society?
The Vast majority of REAL pirates were
either killed,murdered, or cuaght and hanged or died penniless paupers,
or died by disease.

This new POC is sure to dissapoint some,,,it has unreal caracters,,
Davey Jones,the fictional Jack Sparrow and the ship Flying Dutchman.

OR,,,,
You can relax,,forget about reality,,kick your shoes off,,grab a pint of Ale,
sit back and enjoy a tall sea story.

POC is hollywood and the trailer shows that the sequel will have fantasy elements in it as well. That's fine with me - I enjoyed the first one as a well-made pirate fantasy film and I'm sure I will enjoy the sequel as well.

In actual fact, every single attempt at making a "serious" pirate film has failed as far as I know (in fact, we have NO serious pirate films out there but I'm generalising here). The only ones that have succeeded even a bit are those with comic effects in them or very unrealistic settings in some other way.

I wish we did get a realistic film someday, just to show the viewers what kind of evil guys pirates really were and how they killed people at whim, had fun with their victims, let their ships rot from under them and generally spent most of their time drunk, whoring, and killing.

BUT... For someone who wants an enjoyable take at historical sail ships, I always recommend Master and Commander. There's no other film that succeeds at capturing the atmosphere as well as that one.
