This is a swashbuckling good time! I just got home and I loved it! It was a bit wrong,but it held ,my attention non the less. I loved Johnny Depp,geez he was funny and sexy,and strange at the same time! Orlando was great,as was Geoffrey Rush. Turns out part of it was filmed in a fort in Bermuda my hubby has actually visited,so that was cool too. I'll rent it when it comes out for sure!

Only Johnny Depp could make a mangy haired, grubby character with filthy fingernails and Alice Cooper eyemakup irresistable. His name on the marquee meant that the movie was a must see. It was a really fun ride. The movie ran for over 2 hrs but did not seem long. All the actors were great. The credits went on for a really long time but, thanks to the hints left here, we hung in there and were not disappointed. Bring on the sequel!

OK,a little more,wasn't it funny how Depp was always getting right up in peoples' faces? You just knew he does not smell great. And,his swagger was a bit feminine,although every woman around was mad at hell at him. Just such a great character,he deserves an Oscar nom for this,IMHO. Oh,but I'm with you on the sound Pamy,there were a couple of times where I could not understand what was said.

I still want to know what he said at the very end of the movie.

Tried to go see this movie today, but there were only four seats left!!! And it has been playing since July! I suppose we really shouldn't go on weekends since we can equally well go on a weekday. It just never occurred to us that it wouldn't be empty after playing all this time. Saw Seabiscuit instead.

We saw it and thought it was great. Johnny Depp is awesome. When my husband and I found out he would play Willy Wonka in a remake, we were upset but after seeing his performance in this, I think he can pull of just about anything. He has the perfect amount of quirkiness.

JUJU..Did you catch what he said in the final scene??

Pamy, if you think that was the final scene you are mistaken. I've been shouting from the housetops how important it is to sit through the credits to see the FINAL scene.

OG... I know about that scene thanks to you!(forgot to watch it, but I will when it is on video!!) I just want to know what Depp said, some people laughed and clapped, so I figure it was something funny and related to the ride.

That I don't know about. I don't even remember that at all. When it comes out on video, if you get it, you'll have to enlighten the rest of us. And you are definitely in for a treat when you seen that last scene. It gives us hope for a sequal. Wouldn't it be great to see Jack Sparrow back on the bounding main?

I'm planning on seeing this moive again hopefully this week sometime... So I'll be sitting through the credits this time!! Oh yeah, I found this pictyre on the internet and I thought I'd share it.. Since it had me laughing for quite a while. It was draw by someone who goes by the name dark_persian (Or something like that) I just wanna make sure she gets credit for it.

Pamy, I don't even recall what was the final scene with Cap'n Jack in it, unless it was when he went over the wall. For those who have not yet seen the movie and want to wait for the very final scene, you could actually to to the restroom and come back and catch it. These are VERY long credits, very long credits.

The last scene is just Depp sitting there and he said something then it went to credits. You are right the credits are LONG, (as a makeup artist) I like to see who did the makeup and spfx, so I sat thru until those scrolled up, got our stuff together and walked out of the theater, looked back and credits were STILL rolling! Great cartoon!

I enjoyed staying for the credits as the music during that time was spectacular...not boring at all. I am always amazed at how many people are involved in making a movie, and much more so for really huge extravaganzas like POTC.

The teen and I went and saw this today. I informed her that we had to try and catch the last line. Suddenly about 2 hours or so into the movie she turned to me and asked how we were supposed to know it was the last line! LOL Anyway...the closest I got was something like bring me to the horizon (although teen was thinking it was bring me the horizon), then he hums, segueing into something about a couple of bad eggs and then sings yo ho ho. We sat through the credits and waited for the final scene (all alone in the theater which was more than half empty this afternoon anyway) and just about jumped out of our seats. Teen is now totally enamored with Johnny Depp...I loved his performance and there is certainly something about him that draws you to him...especially in this movie. I have never been a huge fan of his, but he definitely made this movie. I don't think I would have liked it as much without his performance.

Thanks MJH! Now I am more intrigued!! What do ya think that meant? I agree about Depp making this movie. I can't wait to see Wonka, anyone know when it comes out?

I should have added that he was standing at the wheel of the ship, looking at his "broken" compass as he says it...so between that scene and the after the credit scene it certainly leaves things open for a sequel.
