what do you get when you have a movie that is over-hyped it can't live up to the expectation?you get pirates of the caribbean.my hopes were through the roof for this one based on all the ads and great reviews.man,what a letdown.this isn't necessarily a bad movie,but it is nowhere near as great as i was led to believe.the acting was okay,and there was some humour,but i think it tried to be funnier than it actually was.there are many films made with very small budgets,including marketing, and many turn out to be fine and sometimes successful films.i guess hollyweird just doesn't get it.then again, i guess i don't get it either since i believed all the hype and went to see this movie.i give it 5* out of 10 based mostly on the acting and some humour
