#MeerfilmMittwoch Nr. 17/25 ausnahmsweise nicht live, weil auf großem Hafenausflug in Amsterdam. Aber wenig überraschend gehts mit #AtWorldsEnd, dem dritten Film der #PiratesOfTheCaribbean (USA 2007, R: G. Verbinski) weiter. Erzähltechnisch der komplexeste der Original-Triolgie. Die Welt wird plötzlich so viel größer, die Intrigen vielschichtiger - und der Blick in Jacks Verstand hat mich früher durchaus sehr verwirrt.

#MeerfilmMittwoch Nr. 15/25 sehr unspektakulär mit #TheCurseOfTheBlackPearl (USA 2003, R: Gore Verbinski), dem Start der #PiratesOfTheCaribbean-Reihe.

Meine Akkus sind einfach komplett leer - brauche was zum Aufladen vor dem Horror-Tag auf der Arbeit morgen. Allein der Opener mit dem jungen, abergläubischen Gibbs, dem arroganten Norrington der naiven Elizabeth und dem inzwischen omnipräsenten Jonathan Pryce als Governor entführt mich sofort in eine andere Welt.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" from 2003 is an opening movie. It looks like it was supposed to be a stand-alone thing, maybe in a case it doesn't catch, like many other pirate movies before, so it's one that can be watched on its own. The movie holds pretty well, I think, although, I changed and it felt a bit lacking plot-wise. Still has strong performances from Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, and it's generally enjoyable adventure flick.
