Eyes Of A Critic

This morning I caught up with the reviews of my favourite film critic, Mark Kermode. He was speaking his mind quite vividly on the third Pirates Of The Caribbean movie - basically, he hated it more than Homer Simpson hates a meal that doesn't contain any trace of meat. Now I as an amateur film critic, occasionally here but mostly on the glory of glories that is the IMDb website, know as well as the next man that a critic's view is his/hers and his/hers alone. Just because Kermode hates (and when I say hates, I mean he really, really hates) this trilogy of films, doesn't mean everyone else will. So for fun, and just because I can't really think of anything else to moan about today other than the weather down here in Winchester- erm, it's rubbish - here are a selection of reviews from the IMDb reviews page of the third POTC film, At World's End:

"I must say I was not convinced by this one" - Paul Gunnerman, Netherlands

"What an absolute relief it is to say that At World's End is not only a great successor to the past two Pirates movie, but also a movie that I might eventually be able to consider the best in the series!" - Simon Parker, UK

"I really like it very much - although someone may think it's too long, I say - you won't need to check the time because what's going on on the screen will keep you interested until the end." - sanuka, Russian Federation

"If not for Depp, and his always entertaining and fascinating character, and the lovely Keira Knightley this movie would be wholely miss-able. " - sportsguru19, USA

There you have it, ladies and gents. That old adage once again comes right to the forefront - everyone's a critic. Ignore everything people say to you and go and see it yourselves , make up your own minds whether its any good or not. Myself? I cannot wait to see it - I love the Pirates movies. Sorry, Dr Kermode.
