My favorite movie of the year. It was a BLAST seeing this is in theaters. The visual effects were the best I've ever seen. I can not wait till the third one! I'll be getting the two disc the first day.

Hmm, it doesn´t seem it will be getting a DTS track. Very strange.
Friggin' great movie. The kraken was awesome, the action's amazing and the comedy was great. However the look of Davy Jones' crew made me want to puke. Yes, a movie like this has its faults. The plot is disjointed and is obviously set up for #3, Orlando Bloom's character is a bit off, Johnny Depp is more comedic than serious, and Davy Jones was kinda goofy. I might pick-up the 2-disc if it's cheap. And hey you Disney execs- if you're gonna open the next one in May, put it 2 weeks after Spider-Man 3. This film is one of the reasons Superman bombed at the box office.
Now bring on the Superman specs, dammit1

Awful, awful, awful film... with some pretty okay action sequences... That is IT.

For example the scene with the melons at the beginning of the film and the one with the big wheel towards the end. Did I mention the visual effects? It's amazing how much they've managed to make Davy Jones (a completely CGI character)look and move like Bill Nighy. (The actor giving the voice) This has to win at least a couple of the technical awards at the Oscars come mars! Depp was nominated for the first one. Can't see why he wouldn't be nominated yet again.
He won't get moninated, there was no originality to his role, no witty lines, no snappy dialogue... He won't get nominated. The only thing people mention are the special effects... and that's the only good thing about it... Doesn't make it the best of the year.
I felt some of the action was underwhelming.

Yes, please do.
Yes, please do.
I loved this movie and can't wait until the DVD comes out. I love the single disc artwork, however, I detest how movie studios are making the 2-disc artwork clunky and ugly. Why not just only come out with a 2-disc set like they did before. They need to get rid of the fake stone and bolts border, similar to what they did for King Arthur and the upcoming extended Narnia.
I loved this film. I will definately be picking it up in the 2 disc form.
Not a bad movie...like the artwork
I'll be picking up the 2disc!
Now I need Superman Returns and The Da vinci code news!

I knew that would be the cover art, just wish they'd put the title above the characters like the first film's art, but with the layout they have, it wouldn't be feasible on this artwork.
This is the best film of 2006. I'm not saying that cuz of the money it's making. It really is a great movie. Kinda dragged on the first time I saw it, but it was enjoyable, and I enjoyed it more and more three more viewings later.
Curse of the Black Pearl is still the better of the two, but Dead Man's Chest comes damn close. Looking forward to At World's End next May and any other sequel they plan on making after sealing this trilogy.
A shame that this film won't knock Titanic off it's pedestal as the highest grossing movie in the US...there's always next year, though.

Not to be a bummer here but I really don't expect the trailers for the film on the DVD's. Disney never puts the trailer on there DVD's only trailers for other films instead. There were no trailers on pirates 1 either. They should learn from Warner brothers they include the trailers most of the time on the DVD.
But I am getting the 2 disc for sure.
Superman Returns was way better then pirates 2 so I can't wait to hear news about the DVD for that one.
I really think SR has been the best movie of 2006 so far. It was simply amazing.

my prediction is superman will be out end of oct the 31st to be realse side by side with the game that would be my guess and would make sense to tie those to together advertising wise

You basically summed up my exact thoughts here. Can't wait for Superman specs and artwork either... I really hope the ark is something great, I'd be happy if it were any of the posters myself.

That would be awsome, but I think the movie will be released November 28th with the Christopher Reeve Superman collection. I have to start saving some money...

Great Dvd
Love them both especially the two disc edition. Can't wait to get it!!!
Definitely buying the 2-Disc.
Boring beginning, but good conclusion. Wouldn't care to see it again, though.
Yo ho, yo ho....
I too am sick of the inflated price of the 2 disc editions. Especially when you get home and the extras ibthat 2nd disc SUCK. $16.99 for the single disc and $19.99 for the 2 disc for the initial release. Many disc have been released like that and that should be the norm.

A trailer for At World's End, I can expect.
Trailers for Dead Man's Chest, I have to agree with you, Michael. I REALLy doubt they'll be included.

Nice Art...Will get the 2-Disc for sure
Although the film wasn't as great as the first one, it's still lived up to the expectation. Depp was great as far as his performance is concern...

No originality? No witty lines? No snappy dialogue? It definately had more of that than the original IMO. I had a really good time watching this film and that's not because of the visual effects, although they were breathtaking.

I see. But Gollum didn't look anything like Andy Serkis.
(but I guess he wasn't supposed to) That's what they did so well with this character.

Just looking through that publicity material - what the hell is 'Talk like a Pirate Day'?!?! And who organised it? Argh! etc...
Enjoyed the film, though a bit of trimming would have done no harm.

Why do people keep saying "wait til december"? Doesn't this come out in Decemeber or are they talking wait til December '07?
I was hoping for another Gore/Depp commentary and for the 2-disc art not to look like ass with that border. Really wish companies would stop doing this single and double release c**p on the same day. When there were only 2-discs, it would cost the same as the single's currently do.

Yeah I don't get the "wait till december" when it's been released in December. Are they planning a 3 discer next year?
