'POTC: At World's End' Discussion

[Christine]

I keep watching that Maelstrom clip that Disney is showing. Can't wait!

What is this??

[ASweetLov]

I just preordered my tickets for Sunday at 11:40am. I would of liked to go earlier but that wouldnt of been possible since my boyfriend is working and he wanted to go with me and would of got mad if I went without him

[Chescat]

What is this??

Go to Disney.com. Wait for the first picture of all the actors go away. The first thing that should play is Maelstrom scene in the middle. If not its on the playlist just to the right of the movie.

Its got the actors and directors talking about the battle scene and its pretty cool. Must have watch this thing 100 times already!

[Christine]

Thanks Traci! Headed that way!

[ElenitaB]

I can't wait... we'll be seeing it in 8 hours!

And we'll be seeing it again tomorrow! And on the way home (or on the way there), we'll be stopping by Toys R Us to pick up our pre-ordered PoTC:AWE games for the DS and the WII.

I actually like seeing movies when they first open. Hopefully the audience tonight will be fans as they were when we saw the first showing of PoTC-DMC. We had a lot of fun that time.

I have my "I Pirates" t-shirt all ready to go that I bought at PoTC last November just for this occasion (yes, I'm a geek ). And DS will probably wear his Pirates IN the Caribbean t-shirt.

BTW, besides what they have on disney.com, there are also some clips posted on moviefone.com.

[Willowwind]

Whoo hoo!!!

I'm going tomorrow night at 8PM, we "Fandango-ed" the tickets last week. I've got a group going that is 18 strong and we'll be wearing full Pirate gear. I'm *SO* excited!!!

My daughter's best friend is at the theater as we speak catching the first show in out town.

Great movie, I enjoyed it very much made sense even though there were alot of plot lines they all tied together and just so you all know STAY TILL THE END!!!!!!! Yes just like the previous 2 there is a tidbit at the end of the credits.

[ElenitaB]

OMG! So good!

Won't discuss too much because I don't want to throw out any spoilers... but, yes, don't miss the very, very end (out of a full theatre, only 8 of us stayed).

There is something for everyone to love about this movie, particularly ride fans.

Enjoy!

[MsMin]

We made it tonight too! All I can say to everyone with no spoilers is I wish I would have rewatched the second movie before going

[chrisb26]

It was great. I really enjoyed it and was glad to have went to the first showing. I can't wait to see it again!

Make sure to stay after the credits for a bonus scene it is a good one.

[Christine]

Just got home...absolutely LOVED IT!!! I cannot wait to see it again!

I will also advise to stay past the credits.

Wow, my mind is just spinning trying to take in what I just saw.



PS- Ellen, ditto to what you said about the ride lovers!!! SOOO cool!

[BriarRose0708]

Shoot, I wanted to get the heck out of there and now I'm going to have to sit through it again to stay until the end. Ah well, it will be worth it. And yes, ride lovers pay close attention for a treat!!! I was the only one in my group who actually caught it (though I thought it was quite obvious). Two thumbs up from me, although take off half a point for it being a bit too violent than I felt it needed to be (hope that wasn't too much of a spoiler. If so, shame on me).

[Kate In Wonderland]

My DH and I went last night and saw the 8:00 show and we LOVED IT!! No spoilers here, but I wish that what was after the credits was actually part of the movie! I feel bad for the people that walked out right at the end of the movie and missed it.

STAY TIL AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!!

[DisneyDudet]

We saw it at 8 and it was AWESOME! I think it was a little strange at first, but it got better!

Ride fans will LOVE it (I seemed to be the only one in the theater who knew) and the very end was a good treat...

THe theater we went to made sure people were quiet and even at the VERY end after the credits... the manager made the loud teens be quiet. That was nice!

No spoilers, but after a while, we should discuss things people didn't understand, as it seems to be easy to get confused (I know I did for a bit)!

It was great. Tha manager of our theater said before 8, they had sold over 3,000 tickets!!! I had ordered out tickets and when I picked them up yesterday around 11, I heard them tell customers, the 8 and 8:30 showings were sold out! They had originally only had 8, then they had 4 showings, and by the time we got there at 8, there was a showing every 15 min. It was handled much better than last years midnight only showings.

All in all, I say two thumbs up and 4 stars! Even with the weirdness!

[SimbaandNalasMama]

I am still riding my PoTC At Worlds End high. We were at the 8:25 last night, it was sold out, there were lots of people dressed up, lots of ARRGGH's pre-movie. It was a great experience and a fantastic movie. JACK IS BACK! Oh I cannot WAIT to see it again....and yes, I stayed to the very end! I do that for all movies, tho .

I couldnt go to sleep last night because i was so wound up! I am here at work on about 5 hours of sleep! Ahhh...PIRATES!!

[Kate In Wonderland]

there were lots of people dressed up, lots of ARRGGH's pre-movie.

Yeah we had that too! Ours was a sold out show, and right before the movie started, a guy came in dressed in fulll pirate gear, stood at the front of the theater facing all of us, raised his arms and yelled "YAAARRRGGHHH!" And the ENTIRE THEATER (and it really was the entire theater) yelled "YAAARRRGGHHH!" right back at him! It was priceless! There were some little kids in the audience that were beside themselves, they loved it!

[Red Randal]

Hmm...I'm kind of split on this movie. I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but I found the ending to be very unfulfilling. I don't really want them to make a 4th as I think the magic number 3 is ideal for a movie franchise. The theater experience was also disappointing compared to last time's midnight shows. There were no people dressed like pirates, no sword fights in the aisle before the movie, no chanting, NO FUN. It was all NORMAL people seeing the movie. Bummer.

Of course, it was still a really enjoyable movie with some great action and fun scenes. Plus it had one totally awesome ride reference for all of us park nerds.

Overall I'd give it a thumbs up but with the warning that it could have been so much better.

[PirateLover]

I feel satisfied
I wouldn't mind if they made a 4th movie, as I actually think they could do a fairly good job of it still. But I also wouldn't mind if this were the end as well.

I liked the movie a lot. I will definitely see it again. When all is said and done though, I think that the 2nd remains my favorite. I can't really pinpoint why, but I am still obsessed with Dead Man's Chest even after seeing At World's End.

Definitely loved the homages to the ride.

Just a warning though, this movie is very violent. So were the others I guess, but this one seemed even more intense. There is no real blood or gore so to speak of, but there is a lot of death.

for PoTC:AWE

[tundramom]

I agree, much darker, more intense, and definitely more violence than the others. Now, someone has to pm me the Easter Egg (the tag at the end) we booked out because it was already 11PM and DD had to get to bed! I completely forgot about teasers. Please, tell me what happenedP.S. We had a fair # of pirates and even someone in "Jack hair" as DH calls it.

[PirateRogue]

Yes, I didn't stay for the credits since my parents were waiting to pick me up outside. I'd love to know what happened! If you can't say it here, PM me please!


I thought it was positively perfect. I love how the end closed it up but also left it open for another. Oh, I'm so happy. I really hope I get to see it again in theatres. This one was my favorite. It was also a very beautiful movie!!
