Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Awful film
I saw this film over the weekend and I think it ranks up there with the worst sequel movies of all time. This is a poorly written, disjointed, unimaginative piece of movie making that should have gone straight to video. I'm quite shocked that this movie is doing well at the box office...and with all the good reviews at IMDb...must be a bunch of studio hacks voting over and over.
Did Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, and Orlando Bloom actually read the script and say "Now that's a great film"? The dialogue is not very funny. The acting is nothing new that we haven't seen in the first movie (which I really enjoyed by the way). Depp does a good job as Capt. Jack Sparrow...but there is no charm or depth to anything in this movie.
I can't write any movie spoilers because there are about 4 different plots circulating in this movie all of which make little logical sense and are jumbled together. You could take a dozen scenes, mix them all up and you'd still get the same terrible movie. The only notable good point was the CGI special effects that were done quite well. Overall this movie gets a D+ in my book.
Evolution (2001)
Quite possibly the worst movie since Ishtar
Rented this movie this past holiday weekend. What a tragic waste. The movie plot is disjointed. The dialogue and acting weak. Little to nothing is actually funny about the plot, characters, or their interactions with each other or the aliens.
David Duchovny, who does an okay job in this unfunny movie, seems out of place trying to do comedy with an Xfiles-type investigative character.
Julianne Moore play an uncoordinated government scientist. Her character is neither engaging nor believable.
The only saving grace of this movie is Orlando Jones who's character does deliver some funny lines. But unfortunately his persona is unable to rescue this ill-made movie.
