Hmmm, this be a tough one to judge, me heardie. On one hand you have the quite credible performances of Johnny Depp and that crip from Shine, but on the other you have bad, bad, bad appearances of Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly. There's just something about Orlando Bloom that I don't like. He didn't look right in LOTR, and he doesn't look right in this one. Don't care how good an actor he is, there's just something I can't quite put my finger on.

The skeletons were wicked though. All underwater and boney. Shame about the crap, cliched set-piece after set-piece that they spent almost the entire film throwing at any increasingly waning audience. Mental note to Gore Videl-Sasoon - jokes are funny once, but trying to repeat them again and again at various stages doesn't work. In fact it does the opposite and upsets the pace of the film. That bad gag in that advert about "Try wearing a corset" - that comes right at the end, upsetting quite a nice build-up to the climax.

But despite a few setbacks, the film came out just about average. It could have gone either way - especially Johnny Depp's accent - it leaves a bad taste in your ears. It seemed like there was too much emphasis on comic-relief and not enough on proper, well thought out action scenes and plot. Although the plot does work well enough for the type of film.

All-in-all, it seemed like every line was delivered for the purpose of putting in an advert for the DVD. That's not how I like to see my films.

And can anyone explain to me how Captain Jack Sparrow managed to slide down that rope near the beginning - his hands were in chains, it's impossible!?

I'd really rather not.

Tell me about it.

Fair enough.

Orlando Bloom is pretty hot, eh? Better?

After Buffy, the LOTR poem, and Leo DiC as a credible actor, I don't think you should try to make statements like this anymore.

I know what you mean about Orlando Bloom, he doesn't fit in with anything. I think the only movie he should be in is another Home Alone movie. He has an annoying face you want to punch just like McCaly Culkin.

***RAGE***

Y'all know I meant wet. Not wer. Whatever the hell wer means.

She's also in a soaking wer undergarment for two seperate parts of the movie. Swash my buckle.

I mean, she's in a corset. Cleavage ahoy me hearties...

I think any self-respecting bloke would, to be honest.

And Keira Knightly (sp?), who I most definitely would.
