Title: Where's the charm of the first?
Product review: I'm in the very small minority here, but I didn't care for this movie at all. It seemed to lack all the charm and spontaneity of the original, as though the producers racheted up the special effects and production just to cash in on the Pirate's "franchise." Even Depp's performance was sub-par (and he's one of my favorite actors!); he didn't seem to have his heart in it. The others called their lines in by phone!I mean, what in the world were those early scenes on the island with the hungry natives supposed to be about? It didn't do anything to add to the story or the characterizations. It was absurd -- but not funny.To me, the entire intention of this movie was to sell products and promotional items -- not to entertain.Okay, go ahead and hit the "not helpful" button -- but I just had to put in my dissenting opinion.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
