[EdnaMode]

RIP original movies.

[BenLurkin]

Here’s a suggestion. Remove all the ghosts, and grotesques and return it to a pirate story. Leave the supernatural stuff in the Haunted Mansion.

[Reily]

Who goes to this drek?

[BigEdLB]

WE WANTS DA REDHEAD!

[rlmorel]

No! Please, for the love of God, no!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Johnny Depp needs the money.

[a fool in paradise]

so more polysexual fluidity, f-bombs, crotch grabbing, penis jokes, and bloody violence aimed at 13 year olds who like to sneak into R rated movies? #SawDeadpoolHatedIt

[Midnitethecat]

There is only one actor that could play the part of a pirate Errol Flynn.

[dainbramaged]

Movies based on Disneyland rides, comic books or video games do not interest me all that much.

[ifinnegan]

Milk it til it’s dry, beat the dead horse.

The original was a surprise out of left field, under the radar screen.

That’s what probably allowed it’s quirky fun clever originality.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The first POTC was funny... the rest not so much.

[SargeK]

Hollywood hasn’t had an original idea in 30 years. And every sequel, prequel, spinoff and knock-off they have made since sucks eggs.

No more of my money. There’s a forest path or beach that needs walking on.

“Disney Talking ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Reboot”

Reboot a movie whose last release is barely few years old?

They do know that Depp still makes appearances to sick kids as Jack Sparrow because they love the series as it is now?

[blueunicorn6]

How about a movie from the It’s A Small World ride?

Only the little dolls have machine guns and fight Godzilla.

[Political Junkie Too]

Reboot? Will they put the bride auction back into the movie?

-PJ

[SoFloFreeper]

in other words, there is not a functioning brain cell in Hollywood.

[Simon Green]

Who goes to this drek?

[DesertRhino]

Exactly. As a pirate story is was great fun. When it turned into a bunch of supernatural nonsense, it became boring.

[EdnaMode]

Yup. Not a one.

[otness_e]

Well, to be fair, at least the first two sequels dealt with a ghost ship, which actually DOES work in pirate mythos even when it had supernatural elements.
