What's Wrong?

Jack Sparrow: The sea monster stole my show!!
Don't expect too much from a sequel from a good movie as it will always disappoint you. The sequel does not live up to its original movie. What's wrong with sequels? Why are most of them flops? Are expectations always sky high due to the fact that the first one was a hit? . I saw Matrix 1 two years after its release(i'm a late bloomer) and it was bloody good. The entire plot was awesome and the casting was marvellous as the cast knew its role and the action scenes were edge of the seat quality. I then waited eargerly for the release of Matrix 2 and caught it on the big screen 2 years back. I was disappointed to find that the movie's plot was confusing and some scenes were pointless as it does not add value to the movie. It was a horrible movie in short and I didn't bother watching Matrix 3.

I recently caught Pirates Of The Carribean 2(POTC2) some time back on the big screen. POTC1 was a huge success as the plot was simple and Johnny Depp excelled in his pirate role and his humour and crankiness was top class and his unpredictability was a bonus. POTC2 had the same theme but the plot was a bit too cheem as there were numerous sub-plots and they didn't connect. It's only pirates for goodness and not a movie about chemists or physicts. A sea monster has also got to be roped in as well to add flair to the movie. I can't believe the director got to stoop to such a low level. The sea monster was crapppppp.

However, not all hope was lost as J.D once again saved the day with his top-class cranky, unpredictable, hilarious and weird style. I still don't understand why a pirate needs a hat when he needs a parrot but it was still funny watching J.D giving a smug look for every single scene. I'm not waiting for POTC3 though as I feel it might fare worse than POTC2 but I hope it will buck the trend which looks to be impossible after the outing of POTC2.
