The first Pirates of the Caribbean film followed the high-seas adventures of Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) as they chased down the villainous Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), who stole Sparrow's ship and held Turner's beloved, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), hostage. The sequel is already under way, with the film's screenwriters working on a draft and deals in place to bring all the stars back.

Well, what's the plot there? I mean, how many half-dead, cursed pirates can you find for this sort of movie? Sure, the first one wasn't too bad, kind of Disney for my taste, but a sequel? Captain Jack Sparrow is a sunbaked, alcoholic, sort of fruity, make-up wearing sort of pirate, wasn't he?
I would just like to point out to you TearUUp that your a <REMOVED> ''kind of Disney for my taste'' YOU <REMOVED>! Of course its Disney, Walt Disney is the one who came up with the original idea of Pirates of the Caribbeans in 1986. Capt. Jack Sparrow, first of all according to me, wasn't sun-baked; YOU ARE! ..... Alcoholic, sort of fruity; <REMOVED> Keira Knightley(although she is really hot), and thinks he's really big so 'tries' to make a cirtique about movies he's watching <REMOVED>! Seems to me the only fruit here is you! And if you can do any better as Capt. Jack Sparrow, I would love to see it.

What's the big deal, damion? Can't Tear have an opinion? By saying that the movie was a little Disney for his tastes, it seemed clear to me that he was saying it was watered down in order to appease a younger audience. I think Tear was just saying that he thought the picture could've been better if it was a little more graphic. I feel the same way, but I still liked the movie a lot. I just thought that maybe it could've been more graphic, and that would've made it a better experience for me.
By the way, Jack was a sunbaked, alcoholic, kinda fruity, makeup-wearing sorta pirate. Watch the movie again. It's not an insult really, it's the truth about his character. I thoroughly enjoyed his character, but at least I'm real about the type of character he was. So is Tear, and if he didn't like it, why can't he be entitled to that?
One more thing: Since you seem to want to play the semantics game and knit-pick at Tear's wording, let me ask you something: What do you mean that WALT DISNEY is THE ONE who came up with the idea of Pirates of the Caribbean back in 1986? Two things here, bub... 1, Disney the MAN (or the ONE, as you put it...) died in 1966, so how could he develop the original PotC idea in 1986? Maybe the company did, but not Walt Disney... 2, the reality of history is that there WERE pirates that flourished in the Caribbean. The PotC isn't an original idea, it's adapted from real history. Maybe not from real individual pirates (I don't know if there really was a pirate named JAck Sparrow...), but from the reality that Pirates frequented Port Royal in Jamaica during the 1600's, and that's one of the reasons that Port Royal was a major commercial port during that time.
TearUUp is a good guy; leave him alone and allow him his opinions.
Pirates Of The Caribbean was interesting and fun... a little long, but eh!
I'll definately be watching the second one.
And yeah, Damion, put your <removed> <removed> up your <removed> <removed> so <removed> can <removed> and then <removed> a big fat <removed> <removed> donkey <removed> <removed> jangly parts.

Sierra... well, technically, Disney did inspire the movie, because of the ride at Disneyland.
It's been there since before I was born... in 1970. The movie has MANY scenes from the actual ride. But, Disney himself didn't write the movie. His ride inspired it.

You know what, SHOVE IT. all of you. this site is <REMOVED - inappropriate comment> i dont know why i signed up in the first place your all <REMOVED - inappropriate comment>. anyway, dont you guys have anything better to do? get a job; get a life just; just <REMOVED - inappropriate comment>. im tired of this <REMOVED - inappropriate comment>. i finally realized there's was something better to do. why cant you?
Now that the disturbance has kindly <removed> itself from our presence, we can get on with things...
Thanks for the added info KJ. I knew that the movie was inspired by the ride. I didn't know when it was created, but since damion seemed to know that the ride was built in 1986, I took damion's statement and went with it...
Still, while the ride may have been developed by Walt himself (I'll certainly take your word for it...), and the movie is inspired by that ride, the truth of the matter is that the ride was inspired by real history.
Hey, I wonder why Bootstrap was considered dead? He was sent to the bottom of the ocean, but we know from the movie that being underwater for long periods of time doesn't kill the cursed men. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 2nd movie includes Bootstrap Turner being reunited with his son Will Jr.
In fact, there is sort of a hint at that in the movie. Jack Sparrow mentions to young Will that he knew Bootstrap, and that Bootstrap was a good pirate... Sounds like there could be a tale or two to tell there...
