Cool.

Some might, and would, say a better written character than Rey… not me though…

• ttf will like it
• ttf will hate it
• meh, no strong opinion either way
• he’s trolling and has no plans to watch it

He’ll cry, he’ll cheer, he’ll fist-pump the air.

The mood has passed, if it was on post Nando’s I would have gone but it would have meant hanging around town for ages

[SenorDingDong]

You’re being cruel to the thread you know

[anon5266188]

I will go at 7 for you

POTC 3 was a big step down but at least it followed through on the story set up by the previous 2 and took its characters on proper interesting emotionally satisfying journeys.

The Star Warses are probably stronger films overall but as a trilogy POTC wins on depth, unpredictability, tension, characterisation and imagination and doesn’t completely fudge the unexpected return of a baddie. And the first one probably wasn’t even made with a trilogy in mind.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever said.

Holy shit mate.

Why not just declare the Prequel Trilogy to be the most artistically pure of the three or something?

PotC 2 and 3 are just dreadful.

POTC 2/3 are absolute garbage. The plot is incomprehensible. They do not deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as RoS. Lets maintain perspective in our criticism here.

Dead Man’s Chest is a good film.

When my little brother was 4 he became obsessed with it. He watched it everyday, sometimes twice.

At first I thought it was simply OK. With time I came to detest it. Eventually I was so deep in the rabbit hole I no longer knew where I ended and Dead Man’s Chest began. I began to see the smaller details, appreciate the craft of each individual scene. Appreciated Jack Sparrow as an agent of chaos in a world demanding order.

Maybe I should go and see The Rise of Skywalker again.

[forwhomthebellytolls]

That sounds more like Stockholm Syndrome than enjoying the film tbh!

Totally no need for a POTC 2 & 3.
I mean, Jesus gets killed at the end of the first one ffs!

Hey now, you’re an AD Star

I actually thought Rio Durant from Solo was great too.

Man this may be more exciting than when I was waiting for TROS to start in the cinema.
