I think it's pretty much got middle child syndrome. The series stands to end wonderfully with the third film, but DMC kind of had a lot more stuffed into it than it could handle.Is that some sort of pre-set Curse or something? Back to the Future Part II definitely suffered with critics as well. And most people say of trilogies, the second is usually the worst.
Anyway - I was in the same room as someone watching the first movie the other day, and as well acted as I would have had to admit it was... the British woman's character is very annoying. Her voice is horrendously screeching whenever it's raised (which it is a lot since she's a real Warrior in the film -
) and I do not like her at all, so her not-screeching is just as bad. And then... the CGI... oh dear. Why is it so bad? Why don't the CGI zombie-pirates move fast and realistically enough to make this crud work - God knows they stuff this with enough million-dollar bills!! Yet it looks terrible, the motion of these things is just not workable enough for me to have even finished watching that section of the movie. I just listened to it. Are people nuts or something? To sit through that garbage? Johnny Depp was funny as hell of course. So I guess that's the film's brownie points. But these movies are terrifically overrated.
