Spoiler for a scene:

When Barbossa drinks the rum from the wooden leg, and Jack whined "....I want one of those." I was a little surprised he shared the rum with him. XD
They're definitely more like friends now.

That scene was nice; they're both pirates, out there for the same reasons. At least the rum isn't always gone. XD

Watched this movie just before coming back to London. It was better than I thought, and I was actually seriously looking forward to watching the movie (thanks Kaze ) despite how I didn't like the previous two at all. Barbarossa and Jack Sparrow are pretty much war buds now, fighting when they're after the same thing and sharing rum when they're in a pinch together. Their exchanges made the movie as good as it is. Penelope Cruz was really hot in this movie as well. I wonder if there will be another one now.

Johnny Depp has a lot of fun doing them, so it's not unlikely that they'd make another.

From Captain Jack Sparrow to Ed Wood to Willy Wonka himself, Johnny Depp is a total boss.

Haha, I know! Well, I guess it's water under the bridge or over the dam or wherever you like it. What's an attempted murder or two between pals!

It was only "attempted" on one side.

It's tru that Both Jack and Brabossa and two of the like, despite their diferences, both could actually be good... allies.

And actually it WAS mutual attempt of killing each other. Brabossa when he left Jcak on the island with a one bullet gun and Jack when he shot Brabosa at the skull island after breaking the curse of the aztec gold.

Since Brabossa is now more of an anti-hero than a villain, I still find Dvay Jones to be the best and most bad-ass villain of the whole saga.

In wikipedia it says '' It has been confirmed that two more installments to the franchise are included in Disney's future plans ''

Good news, I guess?

The movie was pretty good, probably one of the best as I wasn't too keen on the other two '' main '' characters in previous movies..

We avoid them like crazy now and check the theaters for what projector is being used for 2-D projection.

Fuzzy? Dim? Washed out? And ruin 2D showings by using the same projector? What's this all about.. Is this something they do in the states? Because that certainly isn't the case here. The 3D didn't really add anything to the movie which was quite sad but it wasn't fuzzy/dim/washed out.

It's not "attempted killing" if one of them actually kills the other. Then it just becomes killing.

Short answer: yes.
Roger Ebert wrote a long piece about it but I had noticed it independently - especially in the Regal theater mega-chain that dominates the country. They operate on razor-thin margins, don't train the staff, and many use Sony digital projectors (which are apparently fairly crappy even without help).

Fortunately for us, there is an independent theater near me that "does it right"... but I just don't see the cost justification for 3-D over 2-D (~$4 per seat).

Oh hell yeah. To me he'll always be Captain Jack.

The first movie I saw with him was Edward Scissorhands. I was like, five so it terrified me. Looking at it now, it's actually a very good movie.

But I don't think Depp can top Jack. Jack is going to be what he'll be known for from now on. XD

I agree that Davy Jones was the best villian. Because though he was cruel, he had a human side you could sympathize with=character depth. Barbossa's better as a comrade and BlackBeard is pretty one-dimensional. He did have some amusing lines; "If I don't kill a man once in a while, they forget who I am!"

I liked the movie, I think it was better than the 3rd which mostly felt weird...

And I think it was confirmed that they plan to make a new trilogy
