That's Plenty

I'll let the bullying of Superman go on. But this is beyond the pale.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was totally awesome. Seriously. Is it 3 hours long? Yes. Are there multiple (arguably needless) subplots? Yes. Does every actor seem futile in the face of Depp? Tots. Is this one of the neatest adventure epics ever attempted? Absolutley. So we've got Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow, who, without the polarizing straight man of Orlando Bloom would come off as grating as a MadTV character, trying to get his soul back. We've got Kiera Knightley fighting to reach her lost love. We've got the political intrigue of Norrington jockying for power. There's Davy Jones' squid face. There's the Kraken. There's the creepy voodoo lady. There's the backstabbing. There's the father-son reunion. This movie has it all. In spades. This movie is three hours of tension that builds to a badass, frightening, and then awesome cresendo. Listen not to its detractors. Please go see this film.
