Now that it’s all thoroughly done (release date of 18th May this year!), what do people think of the reshaping of the franchise, with On Stranger Tides binning her skinnyness and Orlando Kaboom in favour of Judi Dench and Penelope Cruz?
I’ll see it, but probs only at WSC to avoid paying for it!!!
The trailer looked very 3D gimmicky. I’ll probably end up seeing it at some point but don’t have high hopes.
Here is said trailer for those who’re intrigued (lots of you are, i know :?)
