Three years ago, the unique style and bohemian Captain Jack Sparrow was born, "Pirates of the Caribbean" broke the decadent momentum of pirate movies for nearly half a century, regained its glory, and pushed Johnny Depp's career to the pinnacle Three years later, the menacing sequel movie finally debuted, and fans around the world are looking forward to it.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" can be called the first real large-scale work after Disney's change of dynasty, Robert Iger took over the production of this sequel movie before taking over Disney, which initially demonstrated his strong confidence in leading Disney to the top again, not only with the original team working together, but also inviting Lance, who was in the limelight, to write the script, the two sequels invested a total of $500 million, even "Superman Returns" had to dodge the edge.

Among the big showdowns in this summer's file, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is undoubtedly the most optimistic, because it is the only sequel among the three works, and the strong momentum accumulated in the previous work will inevitably contribute to the sequel, not to mention, the appeal of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom has also been greatly improved compared to three years ago.

In the publicity stage, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" only needs to spend almost half the strength of competitors to achieve the same effect, and Disney has no intention of being soft, with a publicity budget of more than 50 million to compete with "Superman Returns", and even appeared in the halftime advertisement of the Super Bowl, achieving a full-scale bombardment in all directions. Even though the viral video of "Fury Road" has created unimaginable brilliance, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is still the well-deserved top seed player in this summer's file.

Suffice it to say, this work could not find any reason to fail.

Disney obviously thinks so, and the scale of 4,133 theaters is still not as good as "Shrek 2" and "Spider-Man 2", but it surpasses "Superman Returns" and has become a real box office bomb this summer.

On July 6, Disney gave up the tradition of holding premieres at Disneyland, and also held a grand premiere for "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" at the Chinese Theater, with a simultaneous global premiere ceremony, Disney opened five branch venues in London, Sydney, Australia, Wellington, New Zealand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Seoul, South Korea, and completed the synchronization with Los Angeles in the United States to complete the grand opening of the film.

This magnanimity is not only a testament to Disney's confidence, but also to the popularity of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, a film that is an outlier among Hollywood's many similar genres, capturing the hearts of countless audiences over the past three years and pushing the anticipation of a sequel to new heights.

Before the unveiling of the summer season, people once discussed, will there be any works that can deliver the box office of 100 million in the opening weekend again this year? Is there a work this year that can break the box office record held by "Spider-Man" for its premiere?

There is already an answer to the first question, "Troops 3" has reached such heights again, but about the second question, it has fallen into a fog, at that time, "Poseidon", "Superman Returns", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" are considered to be the most promising seed players to create history, among which "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" as a sequel is undoubtedly the most promising, and now "Poseidon" and "Superman Returns" have failed one after another, not only failed to break the record, but even ushered in a crash-style fiasco, then," What about Pirates of the Caribbean 2?

After the world premiere of the all-night carnival came to an end, the first batch of film reviews of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was released, and the media comprehensive evaluation was only 53 points, and the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes was only 54 percent, and the scores of more than 200 mass media were just passed.

Especially when people found out that the stories of the second and third parts were actually connected, and when the second part was solved, Captain Jack Sparrow's life and death were uncertain, leaving a huge suspense, which made everyone exclaim even more.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, in fact, the media comprehensive evaluation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is at least better than that of "The Da Vinci Code", but the serious decline in average word-of-mouth is still very obvious, and the criticism is endless, even Lance can't help but lie down, a few media think that the script written by Lance is still a little lengthy and cumbersome, it can be seen that Lance tried to keep the plot compact in the case of expanding the framework, but the effect was not satisfactory.

However, there are also media who are upset with Lance, they think that there is no problem with Lance's script creation, the two lines go hand in hand and are intertwined with each other, the methodical rhythm control and the ** overlapping plot advancement are really eye-catching, especially the branch line of Captain Jack Sparrow at the end of the world, even if there is only the captain alone, it will not seem thin at all. But alas, the director's deviations in execution ruined Lance's efforts

When the plot is divided into upper and lower parts, it means that the director has more time to fill the plot, but instead of concretizing the details in the script, the director shot a large number of computer special effects to create an illusory world, trying to fill the time gap with beautiful fantasy pictures, and all of them became waste shots, and the characters lacked sufficient polish, and the scene was also slightly sloppy, as if in order not to steal the style of the final finale duel of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the wonderful scenes of the previous small ** were suppressed, avoided a top-heavy ending, but it led to the evil consequences of weakness.

The script is just one of the parts of the lying gun, the main controversy is still around the movie as a whole, praise and criticism fly together, but even if it is praise, the strength is far from being comparable to three years ago, film critics are obviously seriously dissatisfied with "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the first batch of forty-three film critics fired together, and criticized this work up and down, inside and out, and the lively scene is even better than "Superman Returns" and "Poseidon", which also proves once again that the higher the attention, The more pressure it is, the more pressure it will be.

However, not all of Disney's face is bad news, after the theater scores were released, the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" breathed a sigh of relief, although the evaluation of "" is not top-notch, but it can be clearly felt that the audience is willing to buy it, and they still like it. This also means that the audience is willing to pay for tickets for this work that has only 53 points in the media comprehensive review.

Compared with the harshness of film critics, the audience generally believes that although this movie is slightly lengthy, and the ending is unsatisfactory, there are indeed many shortcomings, but it is undeniable that it is indeed a popcorn blockbuster suitable for summer, exquisite and magnificent visual effects, compact and undulating plot settings, charming characters, hearty ** plot, these are all commendable, especially for those who love Captain Jack Sparrow, walking into the cinema is definitely worth the ticket price.

It seems that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" got the result expected by "Superman Returns", and the advantages of the sequel work are once again on display.

Ultimately, the box office figures prove it.

135 million, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" handed over a perfect answer, swept the North American box office market in three days of the weekend, and topped the North American weekend box office chart with a crushing attitude without suspense, not only handed over the highest record of this year's premiere weekend, but also handed over the highest score of the opening weekend in film history "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" officially broke the record set by "Spider-Man" in 2002, with 135 million US dollars, writing a new high at the box office of the opening weekend.

After four years of waiting, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" finally broke the record again and pushed the North American film market to a further boost.

In an instant, the whole of North America was boiling, no matter what the quality of the movie was, whether the critics liked it or not, the record is the record, history is history, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" from the dark horse to the king, completed the gorgeous transformation, this is undoubtedly the most important event in the North American market in 2006.

People are tired of discussing the showdown of this year's summer file, people repeatedly emphasize the gathering of this summer's blockbusters, people continue to pay attention to the trends of many blockbuster works this year, they are looking forward to the arrival of this day, but they have not waited, after two months of depression and consternation, after experiencing the failure of "Poseidon" and "Superman Return", finally waiting for the arrival of the king, the suppressed emotions finally broke out completely at this moment, Like a volcano that has been dull for thousands of years, all the energy contained in it is vented in a hearty breath.

The whole of North America is praising "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", more than 200 media are reporting the rewriting of historical records for the first time, and the whole of North America is paying attention to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and even TV stations can't help but join the ranks of reporting, paying attention to the new trends of the North American film market, and the whole of North America is shouting "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", more and more audiences are pouring into the cinema like a tide, and the enthusiasm for watching movies that has been backlogged for two months seems to have finally found an outlet.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" deservedly became the king of the summer file, not to mention "Superman Returns", and even the "Fury Road", which has never been out of the center of the topic, was instantly abandoned.

In the face of the crazy box office data of 135 million for the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the prospects for "Fury Road" are becoming more and more bleak, and it seems that all the negative factors have exploded overnight, and people have now begun to eagerly discuss that the possibility of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" winning three consecutive championships is not two consecutive championships, but the possibility of achieving three consecutive championships after directly crushing "Fury Road".

Only three days ago, people were still discussing the possibility of a miracle of the "Fury Road", a time bomb, although it was unlikely, but at least it existed, but in the blink of an eye, no one cared, as if this was an opponent who was not worth mentioning at all.

Either it explodes in silence or it perishes in silence. People have already decided that "Fury Road" is the latter, but what about reality? To be continued.
