Day 3 - What’s your favorite movie, and why?

Dead Man's chest, we saw that thing SEVEN times in the theater and it just got better and better. James was scruffy and more involved while we got these new people: Beckett and Davy Jones who were awesome. Then, you have have the best swordfight scene EVER and gorgeous costumes, like Liz' wedding dress and Beckett's attire.

It's just...to me, it's like, What's NOT to like?

However, I know there are people who don't. Let me compare more of why I like DMC best to Star Wars. The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite episode in that series.

Why?

Yes, it's dark but you get this awesome new character: Yoda, more expansion on the romance, more comedy despite our heroes being in such dire straits.
I also prefer the open ending. Think about it, if you didn't know Return of the Jedi existed, ANYTHING could happen. Han could be rescued and save the galaxy. Darth Vader could come back to the light side and redeem himself. Yoda could come back to the general populace again and watch over Luke.

It's the same way with DMC: we assumed Jack would be rescued, but we could have also had James coming back and helping our heroes WITHOUT dying or Weatherby being there for Elizabeth. There were all these possibilities and then At World's End comes along and crushes them.

DMC. What else? I can watch it on DVD over and over and over.... It just is the perfect movie with action, humor, a little romance, sea monsters like the Kraken, Davy Jones..... And that giant wheel and the big hamster ball! I also like how the "waterfalls" pour off the Dutchman when it rises upward out of the sea.

It ended on a promising note but then AWE was down hill and awful.

Couldn't the three of them have shared the heart somehow? It doesn't seem impossible. It would take a lot of brains though to figure that out and pirates are greedy.

I also wish that James would have stayed with the others instead of stealing the heart to give to Beckett. I think Jack taught ALL of them too well on how to be pirates. He taught Will, Elizabeth and James.

I feel exactly the same. After seeing DMC, I was so excited for what would be in store in AWE--and then it ended up being nothing like what I had been hoping for.
