Pirates

Hmmm. I just watched half of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Pirate Harder.
Sequals are crap. There's exceptions of course. Superman 2, Godfather 2, Terminator 2. But sequals are crap because the producers pick the bits that were succesful in the first film and turn them up to 11. What you end up with is something that is considerably less than the sum of its parts. And hey ho so it goes with this. I spent for too much time thinking "What the fuck is going on?", whilst not actually caring about what was going on. Worse, it just wan't funny. I just didn't get it. I really liked the first film, but this was bollocks. Couldn't be bothered to sit through it all.
I really really want to see Superman next, but I'm house bound and want to see it on the silver screen so I'll just have to wait a bit. Seems to be some controversy in the "blogosphere" as to whether Superman Returns is really good, or really bad. I will adjudicate on this. My opinion is the only one that is correct, as you all know.
