Rick’s Rants and Raves

(no spoilers)
Maybe its just me, but did every action sequence in PotCDMC feel like it was created just to be a video game level? I mean, how long could a water wheel stay vertical with three men jumping in and out of it as it rolls down miles of rugged terrain? And every scene with the kracken just reminded me of a sequence in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for PS2 where you have to cut off the tentacles of the beast in the lake. And, of course the kraken will be one of the boss’ in the video game. And what about the deft nature of moving the squid/octopus tentacles of Davy Jones to get the key?

If I could see the video game potential of just about every scene, it makes me think that they designed it with that in mind. I can’t really say as I blame them, given the huge cross-over market, but it sure did take away from the movie’s interest when I kept thinking “X X Triangle”.
