Three years ago, Captain Jack Sparrow, who was unique in style and unruly, was born. "Pirates of the Caribbean" broke the decadent momentum of Pirates' movies for nearly half a century, regained its glory, and pushed Johnny Depp's career to the peak. Three years later, the aggressive sequel movie finally made its debut, and fans around the world looked forward to it.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Soul Cave" can be called the first real big work after Disney's dynasty. Before taking over Disney, Robert Iger took over the production of this sequel movie, which initially demonstrated his strong confidence in leading Disney to the top. Not only did the original team work together, but he also invited the limelight to write the script. The two sequels invested a total of 500 million US dollars, and even "Superman Return" had to dodge the edge.

In this summer's showdown, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is undoubtedly the most favorable, because it is the only sequel among the three works. The powerful voice accumulated by the previous work will inevitably contribute to the sequel. What's more, the appeal of Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom has also improved greatly compared to three years ago.

During the publicity stage, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" only needs to spend half of the competitor's efforts to achieve the same effect, while Disney has no mercy at all. With a publicity budget of more than 50 million, it competes with "Return of Superman" and even makes a Super Bowl midfield advertisement, achieving a full-scale bombing in all aspects. Even if the viral video of "Rampant Road" creates unimaginable glory, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is still the well-deserved top seed player this summer.

It can be said that this work cannot find any reason to fail.

Disney obviously thinks the same way. Although the screening scale of 4,133 theaters is still not as good as "Monster Shrek 2" and "Spider-Man 2", it surpasses "Superman Return" and becomes a box office bomb in the summer this year.

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

Such a big move not only shows Disney's confidence, but also shows the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". This work that takes a detour can be said to be an alien among a group of similar genres of Hollywood. It has won the hearts of countless viewers in the past three years, and has also pushed the expectations for the sequel to a new level.

Before the summer season was unveiled, people had discussed whether any works can once again deliver a box office of 100 million on the premiere weekend? Is there any works this year able to break the premiere box office record maintained by Spider-Man?

The first question has been answered. "Men 3" has reached such a height again, but for the second question, he fell into a fog. At that time, "Sea God", "Superman Return", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" were considered the most promising seed players to create historical records. Among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" as the sequel is undoubtedly the most promising. Now "Sea God" and "Superman Return" have failed one after another. Not only did they fail to break the records, but they even ushered in collapse-style defeats one after another. So, what about "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"?

After the global premiere of the night carnival came to an end, the first batch of reviews of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" were released in full swing. As a result, the media review was only 53 points, and the freshness index of Rotten Tomatoes was only 54%. The scores of more than 200 mass media just passed. This result was unexpected but reasonable. The sequel was still unable to reproduce the reputation frenzy of the previous work. After the freshness and stimulation that emerged, self-repeated attempts ultimately could not escape the dilemma of the slump of the evaluation.

Especially when people discovered that the stories of the second and third parts were actually connected. When the second part was resolved, Captain Jack Sparrow's life and death were uncertain, leaving a huge suspense, which made everyone exclaim that they were cheating.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In fact, the media review of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is at least better than "Da Vinci's Password", but the serious decline in average reputation is still very obvious, and criticism is endless. Even Lance cannot help but fall into the gun. A few media believe that the script written by Lance is still a bit lengthy and cumbersome. It can be seen that Lance tries to keep the plot compact while expanding the framework, but the effect is not satisfactory.

However, some media have stood up for Lance. They believe that Lance's script creation has no problem. The two lines are moving side by side and intertwined. The orderly rhythm control and the plot progression are indeed eye-catching. Especially the branch line of Captain Jack Sparrow at the end of the world, even if the captain is the only one, it will not appear thin at all. But unfortunately, the director's deviation in the execution process 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. However, instead of concretizing the details in the script, the director filmed a large number of computer special effects to create an illusory world, trying to fill the gap in time with beautiful fantasy pictures. As a result, all of them became useless characters. In addition, the characters lacked enough polish, the ** scene was also a bit sloppy. It seemed that in order not to steal the style of the final final duel of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", it suppressed the previous wonderful scenes, avoiding the top-heavy ending, but resulting in the ** fatigue.

The script is just one of the parts that are caught in the shooting. The main controversy revolves around the entire film. Praise and criticism are flying together, but even the praise is far from 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, criticizing the work from both inside and outside. The lively scenes are even better than "Superman Return" and "Sea God". This is also verified again that the higher the attention, the greater the pressure it will bear.

However, not all Disney faced 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 as top-notch, it can be clearly felt that the audience is willing to buy it, and they like it quite a bit. This also means that the audience is willing to pay for this work with only 53 points in the media comprehensive review.

Compared with the harshness of the critics, the audience generally believes that although this movie is a bit long and the ending is unsatisfactory, it is indeed a popcorn blockbuster suitable for summer. It has exquisite and magnificent visual effects, compact and ups and downs, a charming group of characters, and a hearty and exciting plot. These are all commendable, especially for those who love Captain Jack Sparrow, entering the cinema is definitely worth the price.

It seems that "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has achieved the expected results of "Return of Superman", and the advantages of the sequel are once again revealed.

Ultimately, box office data proved this.

With 135 million yuan, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" delivered a perfect answer. Within three days of the weekend, it swept the North American box office market with a shattering attitude, and without any suspense, the champion of the North American weekend box office rankings without any suspense. It not only won the highest record for the premiere weekend this year, but also won the highest record for the premiere weekend in film history. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" officially broke the record set by "Spider-Man" in 2002, and wrote a new box office high for the premiere weekend with 135 million yuan.

Waiting, finally, after waiting for four years, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" finally broke the record again, further promoting the prosperity of the North American film market.

In an instant, the whole of North America was in full bloom. No matter how the quality of the movie was, whether the critics liked it or not, record is record, and history is history. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" completed a gorgeous transformation from a dark horse to a king. This was undoubtedly the most important event in the North American market in 2006.

People are discussing the showdown this summer, and people repeatedly emphasize that the summer blockbusters are gathering, and people continue to pay attention to the trends of many heavy-hitting works this year. They are looking forward to the arrival of this day, but they have not waited for it. After two months of depression and shock, after experiencing the failure of "Sea God" and "Superman Return", they finally waited for the arrival of the king. The suppressed emotions finally erupted at this moment, like a volcano that has been dull for thousands of years, and all the energy contained in them was vented with great pleasure.

The entire North America is praising "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". More than 200 media have reported the rewrite of historical records at the first time. The entire North America is paying attention to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Even the TV station can't help but join the ranks of reports, paying attention to the new trends in the North American film market. The entire North America is shouting "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". More and more viewers are pouring into the cinema like a tide. The enthusiasm for watching movies that has been accumulated for two months seems to have finally found a vent.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has been well deserved to be the king of the summer season. Not to mention "Superman Returns", even the "Raging Road" that has never left the center of the topic was instantly abandoned.

Faced with the crazy premiere box office data of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" of 135 million, the prospect of "Raging Road" is becoming increasingly bleak. It seems that all unfavorable factors have erupted overnight. People are now beginning to discuss that the three consecutive championships of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" may not be two consecutive championships, but directly crushing the "Raging Road" and achieving three consecutive championships.

Just three days ago, people were still discussing the possibility of "Raging Road" that is an irregular time bomb that creates miracles, although the probability is not high, it at least exists. But in the blink of an eye, no one cared about it, as if this was an opponent that was not worth mentioning at all.
