Pirates!

This will be short. The movie was good.

It's the best summer movie I've seen in a long time. Maybe since Jurassic Park.

Yes, it's a little too long and by the middle of the third act it starts to feel a little too, well, percussive.

But you know what it has going for it?

None of the characters - ever - do anything that makes you go, "Wow, that's stupid. He should just ..."

It's amazing how far that gets you in a pinch.

You are so right...it doesn't have to be brilliant as long as you can just keep them 'in the movie'...
