NEW Movies- Pirates 2 and Fast & the Furious 3
Hey friends,
Saw two movies, both sequels, one good, another could have been better.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest was indeed a fun movie to watch. It wasn't a sequel in the traditional sense, but felt like as if the movie was continuing on from the first part. Usually, when you watch a sequel, you have the same characters, but you put them in different surroundings and basically try to repeat what made the first part a success, but in case of Pirates 2, it felt different, which probably made the movie more enjoyable. We get to meet Captain Kack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth, alongside newer characters. The basic plot line revolves around the search of a missing key which can unlock a hidden chest, in which is the dead's man "heart." Through series of swash buckling adventures, we see our heroes fighting off new set of villains, meeting a witch doctor en route, come face to face with Kraken, a sea monster, and bumping one main character off, all before coming to an abrupt ending, clearly leaving us wanting to see the third part eagerly. If you liked the first part, then you are sure to enjoy the second one. Just make sure you watch this movie with a fresh mind for its as long as 2.5 hours. My favorite scenes were some of the action sequences, especially the one on the huge spinning wheel!
Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, the third part in the trilogy was a differnt story. Bringing in a new actor, who looks suspiciouly overly familair to the hero in the first part, seems like an attempt from the makers of this movie to re-create what they had in the first installment. The action begins with an intense car chase gone wrong in an American high school, whereafter our hero is sent to Tokyo Japan to stay with his dad. In Tokyo, he gets involved in the underworld car racing, or rather, "drifting," which is a procedure whereby the car drifts on the road, as if gliding. There were truly some amazing car racing/ drifting scenes that leaves you in awe of what one can do with a car, but in between the car chases, there is a story line too, which isn't really all that important. Our hero falls in love with the girlfriend of DK, Drift King, which sets off a series of explosive events, leading to a grand finale of car drifting amidst the mountain roads. By the way, watch out the surprise/ twist at the end, where our hero is beckoned to race someone..who turns out to be, well, I won't spoil the surprise.
