Yahoo had the trailer for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie today – and I hate to admit it but I am really looking forward to it. I was surprised by how good the first one is (and Keira Knightly kicks ass). So often, movies I expect to hate I really like, and vice versa. For example, I was not looking forward to the LOTR trilogy; I saw it as something my DH would drag me to. I was absolutely captivated by the first movie – went home and read all the books (which I sort of regret – I should have waited to see all the movies first) and happily saw the subsequent installments. Same with Spiderman (enjoyed the sequel too), Sin City (just so well done you can’t help but admire it), and Kill Bill vols. 1 & 2 (I don’t do violence well – but this movie was just hilarious).
Movies I expected to love but ended up hating include Lost in Translation (I don’t get it), Team America, any of the new Star Wars movies (they were just godawful, though – so that probably shouldn’t count), Vertigo (I love Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart – but Vertigo was just weird), Saving Private Ryan (don't even get me started), and Wait Until Dark (again, love Audrey Hepburn – but can’t get into this movie).
Based on this, I am actually looking forward to seeing King Kong. There’s no way I’d ever think I would like it – but I’ll bet you I love it. Life.
