AWE trailer...and thoughts and wonders

rosa_cottonWell, the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is finally here. And it is a most impressive trailer; better than the one for DMC, IMO. And it has given me hope for the (please let it be so!) conclusion of the trilogy.
I love Pirates 1. It has a great plot, nice special effects, a good score... and the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow. I really did not think a Pirates 2 was needed. But it was okay. I felt like I was watching The Two Towers with the three storylines, and a lot of things I didn't get; nor did I care for the cliffhanger ending. The main reason I liked the second film was because of Jack -- and J/E.
Now I am looking forward to seeing the third one, and I'm crossing my fingers that it will live up to my new expectations. (I have heard that a lot of the time the middle installment of a trilogy is the weakest; so here's hoping.)
The trailer opened with young Elizabeth singing her pirate song again. But this is really all her story, I keep forgetting.
I think I'm going to really like Barbossa. He looked great in the trailer. What a laugh while sailing the ship towards that whirlpool!
Jack, Jack, Jack. Loved him. "Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?" Only Jack the Monkey raised his hand. Jack's reaction was priceless. "And I owe them all money." Haha! For some reason I'm not surprised. "Keep telling yourself that, darling." I got the impression he was attempting to hide how hurt he was. His lighthearted words didn't, IMO, match the look in his eyes. He tried to smile but it wasn't real. Oh Jack! *hugs him*
Near the end of trailer when I saw the shot of Will all in black with his bandanna I thought, "The Man in Black!" (from the Princess Bride)
There was one shot that circled Jack from the back to the front which strongly resembled his entrance in the first movie.
There were so many shots I liked. The ship sailing upside down under the water. The gigantic waterfall -- World's End perhaps? The first shot of Jack. The whirlpool. Gibbs and Jack doing a sort of high-five with their fists. Jack blowing at the end of his pistol. Davy and Jack fighting away was the most awesome shot in the trailer. It fitted the mood of rushing suspense and the music very well.
By the way, I really liked the music used in the trailer. Anyone recognize it?
Seeing the trailer brought up some questions.
Near the end of the trailer it looks like some of the crew below deck tosses weapons up to Barbossa and Liz. Is it me, or is she wearing something like a modern suit? Cause a lot of her legs are showing.
"Four of you tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeeded!" Obviously, Liz succeeded, and Barbossa tried to get rid of Jack. I'm curious about when Tia attempted to do him in. And just when did Will try to kill Jack?
Why did Will ask Elizabeth to marry him again? They were still engaged I thought.
I found it very interesting during Barbossa's voiceover of "Our enemies have united and vowed to destroy us," we saw Beckett, Davey Jones, Norrington, and WILL. I wonder...
And I honestly have no idea who Elizabeth will go off into the sunset with.

Date: 2007-03-21 05:02 am (UTC)Interesting observations. Barbossa has always been one of my favorites. He's just such a classic pirate. From his voice to his appearance... that's how I always imagined pirates as a child (aside from Captain Hook). I'm really glad he's back. I really missed him in DMC.
I loved that part!!! Jack/Jack the monkey = OTP, lol!!! J/k.
OMG that didn't even occur to me! LOL! He did look like The Man In Black from TPB! Haha. Love it.
The huge waterfall is DEFINITELY world's end. I'm 100% sure. Because I read snippets of teh leaked script (bad, I know) and it described World's End as a huge waterfall. But I agree. All those shots were incredible and the trailer was soooo well done with the music and everything.
I think Jack is referring to when Will tried to kill Jack in his blacksmith shop when they first met. Just a guess. *shrugs*
I'm still convinced and rooting for Will and Elizabeth. Although I quite like the idea of Jack/Elizabeth. It's just sort of interesting and quirky. But I still love and totally worship Will/Elizabeth. They're meant to be. They've loved each other forever. It's only right, I think.

>And just when did Will try to kill Jack?<
The first movie? And the second? Well, he threatened alot in the first movie, and I suppose it's debatable whether he was trying to actually *kill* him in the Jack/Will/James fight. But there's been an awful lot of Will's sword at Jack's neck so I suppose he could be talking about any number of times.
>Why did Will ask Elizabeth to marry him again? They were still engaged I thought.<
Well, there was the whole J/E kissage thing. He'd probably wanna make sure they really still were, you know? ;)
>And I honestly have no idea who Elizabeth will go off into the sunset with.<
In all honesty, I can't imagine that it's going to be a Jack/Elizabeth ending, though I can't say 100% for sure whether it will be a Will/Elizabeth one either. *goes back to enjoying the much-more-enjoyable-than-either-option J/W/E-ness* :D
