Longest and highest grossing first weekend. I hope this isn't a trend.

From Sean Burns at Philadelphia Weekly: "Does anybody really need a Pirates of the Caribbean movie that clocks in at five minutes longer than GoodFellas? Folks, here's a movie based on a goddamn theme park ride—why the epic running time?"

Erm... am I the only one who was a little confused after Pirates 2? I think I may have dozed off sometime in the middle, because all I remember is: something something compass, something something octopus-head, something key something, running on a water wheel, something something preview for At World's End. D'oh.

my friend's dad referred to it as the 2-hour trailer for pirates 3.

I haven't seen it yet, but I am already kind of dreading the fact that it's 2h45m. That seems ridiculous to me.

i liked the weird wedding montage, 2 hours of swordfights, little bit of father son bonding, then 30 more minutes of swordfights, then to be continued. and did anyone else get super confused over the dice game? that whole sequence was totally lost on me
