I was over looking at the trax site and saw this up. I love the poster, Bill looks hilarious.  |

The Pirates of the Carribean series...to put this as lightly as possible...is overrated garbage.
Hopefully they can make this crap watchable, though that godawful second one is the worst.

I admit to liking the first one, though it's not among my all-time favorite movies. I was expecting nothing from it, but I had a good time. I like Depp in this one, and I dig the Monkey Island vibe from Barbossa. Whenever they're not on the screen, though, it kind of drags. I don't know if I'll watch a rifftrax, though, it's one that seems a bit out of place.
The 2nd and 3rd ones are like bloated caricatures of the first, though, and I'd be more inclined to watch a commentary with them.

^I agree with pretty much everything you said. I'll watch it though because you never know, they could deliver a classsic riffing.

One person's over rated garbage is another's great RiffTrax. I'm really looking forward to this. The first movie is watchable and I think the skeleton effects were done well, but 2 and 3 are just painful.

Holy flapjacks, I didn't even recognize Mike! I thought, "Who's the guest riffer? Isn't that a hair-band drummer from the '80s? But which band? Can't think; who is that? Gah! It's Mike!" |

NO WAY! Oh man, this is the first movie since LOTR that they've done that I am really excited about! I hope they trash this movie beyond all reason! Wheee!

I think it will be just fine.
I was skeptical about Ocean's 11, but it turned out to be a great RiffTrax.
I too liked this POTC movie, but there's gotta be lots of material they can riff on.

I hated the Pirates movies, I still can't work out why people have went so ga-ga for them, so I hope they tear it a new one!

I hated the Pirates movies, I still can't work out why people have went so ga-ga for them, so I hope they tear it a new one! One reason alone, A lot of women find Johnny Depp sexually exciting. I, for one, found his portrayal of a pirate in these movies to be raging queenish, but I was harshly corrected for this statement by a number of women on the board. I had my doubts about this whole franchise since it is based very loosly on one of the oldest "rides" at Disneyland/world. I to found the first movie entertaining but the last two were horrible. |

Oh yeah, the first one's the only one approaching watchable, and I like Geoffrey Rush hamming it up.
And it must be said Mr. Depp is a sexually exciting man, and I'm straight!

I loved the first one and I enjoyed the third movie well-enough, although it was rather bloated and over-the-top. The second one is just utterly terrible.
That said, I'm very happy to see that Mike and Co. are doing Pirates. Once I get my DVD from home I'll be sure to purchase this one.
