by - typher ... I think it is crap lol within 30mins I had turned the movie off. - low budget!!
I'm sorry but if you turn a movie off after only 30 minutes, how can you possibly judge it in any way, shape or form??
And because it's 'low budget!!' Come on!!! Million dollar movies haven't been around forever, they all began somewhere and from people who have the balls to try something a little different. Sure beats the crap they repeatedly churn out of Hollywood year after year after year.
Budget is purely a number by which to work within. It's what they do with it, how they do it etc. I honestly felt, although definitely not Oscar worthy, they definitely succeeded at entertaining myself at least and for that I can only congratulate them. With big budget studios, stars demanding enormous amounts of money and CGI to take over what an actor is actually paid to do in the first place, the pressure to perform is enormous for all upcoming actors, directors etc.
And to be honest, if you thought it was such crap that you turned it off after 30 minutes, why did you waste more of your time posting here?? It just makes no sense to me. You could watch a Football, Soccer, Tennis, Rugby, Motor Race etc. etc. for 3/4 of it and think how bloody boring but all that could change at any moment and that last 1/4 make up for the rest.
If you don't have the decency to watch the movie in its entirety, then have the decency not to post an opinion based on nothing.
Would like to see a sequel, following them out of the country in 2 hours!!! Hope it's in the pipeline!
PS - As posted in another thread, flaws and all, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and for that exact reason. I'm getting tired of seeing movies that are so over polished and leave nothing to us as an audience.

You know what? I AGREE. Every part of your well constructed discourse hits the right notes in my ears. I too enjoyed the film, while noting the rough edges, and I too had an appreciation for the style and techniques they used.
The running gags about the spontaneous insults and trigger -happiness kept me laughing quite hard in fact.
A sequel involving the mysterious "dangerous man" WOULD be great, and what's more the way they did the ending was perfect: Solid enough to not be a "POTC: Dead man's chest" and it leaves the audience some room for imagination, like Reservoir Dogs AND leaves the perfect premise for a sequel.

Did you say agree?? AGREE?!! Now that's a first for a while!
It seems we both felt the same way watching this movie, and another who'd like to see a sequel. Oh, 'Reservoir Dogs,' one of my favorite movies. I thought that was perhaps the main reason they did the ending the way they did. Perhaps now all they need is funding etc., and we won't hold our breath waiting for that, sadly!
Glad you enjoyed the movie also!

Actually, there's another thread on the board where Ketzal Sterling himself *apparently* acknowledged that it's in the works :D
