All those movies were terrible, and the people involved with making them admit it NOW because they can nobody is paying them to say they are good anymore
I like his review but Mark is wrong, Jack is supposed to be one of the greatest pirates. thats why he was captain of the perl and how everyone knows his name.
Pirates of the Caribbean 1: Good film, enjoyable and entertaining adventure and story Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Good funny moments, entertaining, but started to lose it's way a bit towards the end Pirates of the Caribbean 3: 3 hours of complete convoluted boring bilge which stretched out far too long, losing the plot in every sense, but the end battle was ok. Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Better than 3, but can't remember much about it
as much as i respect kermodes movie knowledge, he was a little bit wrong when he said sparrow wasnt meant to be a good pirate- in the first film, he was described as 'the best pirate I've ever seen' when he stole the navy ship
I like the cold open at the beginning before his review of On Stranger Tides as if to remind us of his genuine hatred of the previous instalment At World's End, that movie probably scarred him for life as far as i'm aware, aside from Inception Mark kinda lost his faith in modern blockbusters because they are more interested in making money than telling stories, he also wrote a book called 'The Good, The Bad And The Multiplex' which for the most part talked about modern blockbusters.
kermode on pirates' 3: "it started with child hanging and went downhill from there!"
Am I the only person that actually liked the third movie?

mark kermode is a movie intellectual but he is also hilarious
At Worlds End was an awesome experience in the theatre the first time I saw it. It was a bit long, but I loved it.
I like Mark's impression of Jack Sparrow.

These films are so bloated, he's right there.
Kermode: Pirates 3 gets worse after the child hanging.
A review cannot be much more scathing than: "it's just nothing at all." Thanks for another great review, Mark!
I love how sad Mark gets at
"He goes looking for something and somebody else is looking for it as well..."
Raiders of the Lost Ark?

what saves the pirates of the caribbean sequels for me is the score. of course it never changes but it never gets old
5:35 The David Frost impression was fantastic !!!
I love the flappy hands and the looking up seemingly into the distance so much. :D
Brilliant review as always by Dr Mark Kermode ;)
