I caught the movie last week, I thought the movie sequel was very disappointing. Not much of an interesting plot, very long-winded. A few funny scenes, but that’s about all. Last seen battling a ginormous octopus, our favourite swashbuckling pirate Jack Sparrow gets trapped in Davy Jones mind-bending locker at World’s End. Ragged mateys Will and Elizabeth embark on a search and rescrue, only to land in sunny Singapore to fight the evil Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun Fatt). Singapore was certainly not portrayed in the best light, looks more like traditional china dynasty times instead.

Too bad they didn’t encounter the Merlion instead, now that would surely make movie history!

Not worth watching in my opinion, save your $$ for the chick flicks like lucky you, spiderman or Shrek 3!! Rating : 3/10

He’s surly, uncouth and the most unhygenic of anti-heroes. Yet he is loved by audiences all over the world and has won the hand of a princess. We return to the land of orgre Shrek and his ragtag band of fairtytale friends

If Shrek was real, he would be embarrassed by his own popularity. His name means terror in yiddish, but try as he might to be frightful, he’s just plain lovable – glowing green skin, abundant ear wax, thickened toe nails and dry wit!

The comedic formula has sent his creator Dreamworks Animation laughing all the way to the bank. Box office takings for the first Shrek Flick in 2001 reaped US479 million worldwide while Shrek 2 (2004) is the third highest grossing film in history with US920 Million.
