Eh, it's the entertainment industry. They'll never change that.

And you of course know I liked Nathaniel Parker in it as well. Just ... the story didn't do much. Sadly. It does have it's moments.

*pats* It's ok MG, we all hate the movie. However, yes the credits were awesome and if they had continued that way, it could have ben good.

If you like it that's cool. Everyone is intitled to their opinion.

I have a love-hate relationship with it. The sets, music, makeup and costumes are awesome. (I'm convinced Rick Baker is some sort of divine creature effects demi-god come to Earth to help better the movie industry.) I liked Emma, Ezra, Master Gracey, and to an extent, Ramsley. The ghost cameos they did have, such as the HHGs, were fun.

And--I know I risk a lot of backlash for this--but one thing the HM has over all of the Pirates flicks is this: Pacing. It moves along at a good click, whereas I always felt the PotC films dragged horribly at times. (But then again, I always felt the same way about Nightmare Before Christmas, that some scenes should have hit the cutting room floor or been shortened some how. I know I'm in a minority on that aspect.) It's not that I don't have a long attention span, I do. It's my inner editor screaming, "YOU COULD SAY THAT IN HALF THE WORDS! THIS SCENE ISN'T ESSENTIAL TO THE STORY! WE GET IT ALREADY!" )

Eddie Murphy can be cringe inducing to watch, like even he knows it's too cornball. And Jennifer Tilly as Madame Leota... *face palm* Not even close to Eleanor Audley's voice. Glenn Close or Susan Sarandon could have been a lot better, I think.

My biggest gripe, though, is the story. I could have been content with Eddie Murphy if that story wasn't one big clusterf@(k.

What is the thing with Elizabeth/Sara? We don't know. It's not reincarnation in any sense I've ever read about it. Do they just look a whole lotta like? And how does Ramsley, a mere ghost, have the power to summon demonic forces from Hell? Where did that little bit of juju come from? And who made Master Gracey's hair look so god-awful at the end? And why'd he steal Sergeant Pepper's uniform?

I have to agree with everything you just said. Ha, yes Master Gracey's hair is horrid at the end. The whole movie it went through looking great then he comes down those stairs and it's like a brill cream ad! Especially the uniform. I must say I was laughing through the entire ending of the film, either from complete disappointment or the cheese was just to much.

I think the Sarah thing was one of the biggest downfalls. If they had them just come to the mansion and find out the history etc it may have gone by better.

I actually have the soundtrack on my I-pod and I adore it. The look of the film is everything a mansion fan could want, it's the story that is just so awful.
