I saw it in the theater when it first released. I believe it was supposed to be a trilogy, but didn't gross enough.
POTC and LOTR were cleaning up the money.

The ending most streaming sites have had over the years SUCK,… the ending in theaters is so much better

I don't see any way Peter Weir would have signed up for a trilogy. I'm a big fan of the novels and every once in a while there's a rumor of a new movie, but most fans would prefer a prestige tv series. Obviously with a new cast

Weir didn't want to do another but Crowe was pushing for awhile. Not sure if they could've captured that magic again but it is a shame there hasnt been more done with those novels.

Maybe not a trilogy with the original director, but I read somewhere the studio was hoping for a franchise.

Yeah I know, any guy I know that shares my tastes in media tells me it’s excellent so I have little doubt it is,… one day soon

I cannot seem to find a madeira I like round here. IS it all cooking wine or do they just not ship us the good stuff?

The theatrical version or the Director's Cut? I like both but the Director's Cut is better and closer to the tone of the source novel.

I watched an 85 year old classic for the first time this weekend, The Maltese Falcon. Sorry, but I genuinely disliked it. I get that it was from '41 and of a certain genre, but the acting and dialogue were corny. Too much "Thanks, Dollface" and "Gee, that's swell" sort of crap, and Bogart's tough guy quick and witty dialogue felt 100% fake and too clever by half. It was too predictable and full of exposition dumps. It just felt like bad B-movie fluff filmed in a week. I seriously don't get the love for this movie. I did like Peter Lorre in it a lot though. He did a great job.
