![]() ![]() Allegiances and personal agendas of characters are much easier to understand and follow when Dead Man’s Chest is still fresh in your mind. The stakes remain high when the momentum is kept going between the two. But when you watch them together and really feel how this is one giant story, the movies become a lot more enjoyable. On their own, they’re incomplete and I can’t blame people for not liking them with valid criticism. My roommate and I watched DMC and ATW this past Saturday and Sunday respectively (he had never seen either), and I think when viewed together, they hold up really well. Back in 2007, I hadn’t seen Dead Man’s Chest until just a few days before At World’s End came out, so I had the benefit of seeing both for the first time within a short window, and I’ve been a fan of both ever since. I also love the (IMO) massively underrated Pirates sequel duology. Kill Bill was originally meant to be one movie, I can’t watch Superman without wanting to watch Superman II (The Donner Cut), and I loved that Infinity War was a two-part finale (Marvel can rename it from “Part II” and claim it’s an independent story, but it’s still Part II). They remind me of the epics of Old Hollywood, with stories so massive they needed intermissions. I’m a big fan of two-part movies that were shot at the same time. ![]()
