| | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | They're back with another great movie! Pirates returns with yet another fast-paced, action packed adventure movie, and another mess Jack (sorry, Captain Jack) has gotten himself into. Although a bit confusing at times, this movie continues with the quality you would expect from Disney. There are some new great actors and the ones we know and love from the first movie. Another must see... be sure to stay tuned for Pirates 3, supposed to come out this year (2007). |
