I Have seen this film - chinease guy brought it to my shop 2day.. just watched it.. not really too good quality.. there should be a better release soon

i think ill wait for a maven TS of this new pirates film, id be very suprised if they didnt release such a huge blockbuster as a ts

not bad for a cam skimmed through it dark scenes very dark and my one main concern it seems to have a run time of 1hr 58 mins & I thought the film was supposed to be 2hr 30mins long

They should change the name of this site to 'the maven fan club for noobs'.

F**k, shut up already about them? I remember when it was Centropy makin everyone's pants tight.

This is pretty mediocre but with the security around it I'm surprised they got one at all.

I think there are missing minutes but I couldn't tell for sure because they were during particularly dark and loud scenes.

yeah yeah, a little dark, sound kind sucks - better than normal for a CAM release ... all the same from this group. they've released for a while now, and it is what it is - they're not getting any better, and not any worse ... but give them props for risking their ass every day.

not flaming, but don't say "oh, wait for maVen's release" ... comment on this one, or keep your yap shut and go on to the next thread.

I'm personally going to grab this one, and watch it ... and then grab the next release and watch that also, and YES I'll even probably spend the $10 for the movie theatre release.

for those of you who remember the days of Centropy, they were good ... maVen is good too - but give props to the peeps who risk their ass to bring you some shit to watch when you're bored.

<3 & peace....

from rar id say not bad for first release,bit dark but thats about it.watchable but im gonna wait as a fan of the film.

nice 1 for fast release

Terrible video and audio. Not up to the quality we've seen on some of the early releases lately. I wasn't expecting maVen, but this is bad. Audio is probably not that far below average for a CAM, but I'm hearing all kinds a BG noises.

The street is watchin'. She is watchin' all the time.

Saw the sample. Dark and when adjusted very pixilated. Sound not bad for a cam.

V: 6

A: 6

M: Who knows until a better version arrives. Probably a 9 when it does.

Hell yeah! Props for keeping this internal so others can fill in with a better cam.
This silver may be early, but is terrible.

Just skipping trough release:
V3
A4
M will wait...

very dark and about 30 mins missing

It didn't look to bad on the puter, But looks poor on the Big screen TV. Sound is not to bad for a silver.

Ditto props for doing it first and keeping it iNT.

V=4
A=6
M=9

poor quailty, but good on HYdRO for getting it out there in one form or another

V=4
A=5
M=will wait

Not bad.. watched this rls.. I will probably watch another ts though or maybe even go to the theatre.. I couldn't catch everything with this one.. plus there is parts where the cam is covered so there is missing scenes..

V: 4 (parts are covered...)
A: 6 (not too bad..)
M: 7 (Pretty good.. but not great.. I think I liked the first one better..)

Sample

it's quite simple to get a sample of any VCD SVCD or DVD
all you need to do is download 1 rar file from the said movie and view it in VLC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pbLYDFjugY

Video sample here. Yes, dark and difficult to watch. Much better copy is out already - IT'S AT THE MOVIE THEATER AND COSTS $ TO WATCH! For free version that you can watch at home in your underwear, this is the best so far.

Jeeesh...

Not as bad as I thought

Started viewing the bin directly in VLC, as is my habit. Lot's of blockage of the screen at the very beginning - but settles out quickly.

Pretty dark with poor definition.

The video then glitched and locked up in vlc. I then mounted the bin and watched it with PowerDVD. I was surprised how much better it looked -not bad at all on a PC monitor.

Obviously it still suffers from the blockage at the beginning, and there is more blockage later during a fairly important scene, but this turned out to be fairly watchable for an early cam.

Audio is hollow - some audience noise, but just appropriate laughter and such. No constant cany wrapper noise or crap like that. There is some noise from the camera person settling in at the beginning, but pretty good after that.

I tend to rate cams pretty harshly, but I must say Hydro did pretty well on this and I give them two thumbs up for the decision to label this Internal.

6/5/6

Missing 16 minutes plus intermittent covering of cam throughout - a couple of times at quite crucial points - sound ok - echoes at times and shuffling/banging noises - only good if you want vaguest idea of movie. 4 for video, 5.5 audio.

props to uploader but feel have to be honest about the quality ... very dark and much of it at the beginning is out of focus, light scenes nearly ok but dark scenes pretty much nothing is visible - and as important scenes are at sea and in caverns - well you get the idea.

ive seen some dogy copys in my time this one tops the bunch for me i watched the first 5 mins and that was that i think i will wait for a better copy

__________________
My wife go's down on me mor than my computor

I'm usually not picky, but for a movie like this I think its not worth watching with this copy. Props for being the first. Really dark in the dark scenes and audio is really tinny. It is watchable but if you want to really enjoy this movie, this copy won't do it justice.

V - 5
A - 5
M - 9

the picture is crppy in the light u see rthe faces but blury. in the dark u see just figures. video is better but too much nouise. movies is excellent because some parts was mad in my country.

7/7/9
Why was this moved from internal ?
This is a fine-ass cam as early cams go.
The audio is pumped up big-time. The movie is on the dark side compared to the first movie. I have yet to see the nfo, so I be guessin it would be internal for the audio clicks, and cam stashes.

From a few(6) rars of CD1:
Video a bit dark, decent for daylight scenes, but not great overall.
Sound is typical hollow cam, not too clear in spots.
I'll wait for a better version, but props for speed, even though I wish they had waited for better.

5/6/?

Well, this is missing approx. 16 minutes of footage. I went to the theatre to see it today (with my 2 year old... I'll cover that later), and it started at 11:45 (movie, not previews), and ended right at 2:00 (well, credits *began* at 2:00). Given this rls is 1:58:52, we're missing 16 minutes, roundabout.

Video - Well, not bad for the daylight scenes, but the dark scenes are really bad. Video takes up approx. 1/3rd of the screen, so there's some cropping going on (widescreen usually leaves 1/3rd to 1/2 for the black bars combined. 5.

Audio - Seems fine for a cam. Some background, as expected. 6.

Movie - As I stated above, I took my son to the theatre to see this. WONDERFUL movie if you enjoyed the first one as much as I did. I had to take a break 3 times for ass whoopins, but made them quick so I wouldn't miss much. I give it a 9!

Be warned!!! This movie leaves you on a cliffhanger, much like the 2nd Matrix movie (but unlike Matrix 2 & 3, this movie was good). If you watch this movie, be prepared to be pissed off that you can't find out what happens until they release the next one.... at least with The Lord Of The Rings I had already read the books....

Also, why was this moved from the *internal* listing?

I downloaded this last night before it hit VCD, I couldn't get through with it. What else can be added, poor quality, but thanks for trying.

V-4.5
A-4
M-8

Very Dark and the cam gets covered props for being early same as street silver best thing i cansay about this cam is that the camera is very still through the hole movey no shake at all does move some at beginning but never shakes now if we could get the guy to not eat lol.

v = 3.5
a = 4 typical cam but a lot of background stuff
m = 8 good stuff packed house and good fun at the theater

V 5
A 5
M 9

m seeing it in the theater this weekend

i think if i do dl this, im getting a tc :/

Quality=Shit

The quality of this is really bad, even for a cam. I mean I get that it's free and all but if you're going to release something then at least try to do it right.

Video=shit
Audio=shit
Movie=Couldn't watch it, quality too poor

I would say that I appreciate the effort but I don't.

My friend saw it at the movies....he says theres like 20min missing from this release...

A long part is missing in the middle. Probalby that's why it's an internal release.

V: 3 (Dark, blurry)
A: 6 (Not bad for a cam sound)
M: -- (I'll wait...)

Why do people thank everybody for these releases when they are so God damn bad,why release this crap at all,a big chunk of the film is missing,its so dark i thought i had gone blind,sorry but rubbish.

maven rocks!!!

why does everyone hate it when someone says something good about maven. truth be told they are the only group that consistantly put out quality releases. i for one applaud their efforts and wonder how they get such good looking releases they use a cam dont they?? so maven shake them haters off!! and keep doing the damn thang

Can anyone confirm the maven release im starting to see pop i cant get sample of it yet though

I watched it omy big screen TV and it was not bad. Not sure what you wee watching..

v: 8
a: 9
m: 10

It's fake


::EDIT:: TIT! - NS::

total shit

blurry and dude didnt even have the cam setup when movie started. Don't waste your time

Video - 3
Audio - 4 is a cam
Movie - ? didnt waste another cd for cd 2

Dead Mans Chest Pirated

The camera man had a difficult time with this one, several times he covered up the recorder with his jacket, even so he still got what he came for.. Security must have been swarming...
Video 5 (cam)
sound 6
Movie 8

Check usernet there should be a xvid available after midnight (est) which will be same source but has been lightened a bit and sound is improved..

props 4 the quick rls but....

Seen this a the movies and this rls is missing about 20 mins for a cam A-5 V-4 M-10 sucker for a good pirate movie matey

pirates

5.5/5.5/8 covering up the screen alot when people walk by. still its a half good cam.

I don't know what the F*** you people want now days, a friggin' post production DVD??? Think about it! it's a cam! Besides, dump it into vdub & Audition, & in 45 min you got a decent film, for a early cam.

I thought vid=5
sound=4
Movie=10

Oh, have to kind of agree with isinginthebanned, who said "I remember when it was Centropy makin everyone's pants tight."

But I prefered Shadowrealm.

Null Dev

Maven need to release their info: on how to encode quality films to using certain hardware(s).... to their closest scenes. Why? So all of us can benefit and ofcourse safety issue for long term

btw man-boob with maven droopy letters across chest acceptable?

v - 1
a - 1
10 - Kickarse movie matey!!!!

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but this is missing the scene where william turner challenges davey jones to that game and then gets whipped.

poop

4/4/10 movie was great....shitty ending but the rest of the film was wonderful...

also Maven's encoding isn't always perfect, especially on darker films where its super pixelated...

They do great work overall though...But hydro, internal or not, don't release shit when its incomplete and missing that much footage...

Reminds me of the Silent Hill release, til this day we still don't have a complete version of it.

Video - 2
Audio - 7
Movie - ?, im watching it as i type this.


Terrible start, rattles non stop for 5mins, camera out of place for 10. Im 20mins into it and it seems fine sofar. Video if very dark and horrid but the audio is fine, listenable.

3 problems with this release.....


1. Too dark
2. Cd1 is CD2 and vice versa
3. Hydro don't know how to spell CARIBBEAN



2 /2 / going to piccy to see full release

1-v
1-a
10-movie

i seen this in theatres opening night. must say great movie, but those who watch only this release are missing one of the best movies of the year...

this release is pure crap... avoid at all cost...

personally im waiting for a better release... Just hope maVen can get it out soon...

and for all those saying this and that about maVen, can you name me someone who is releasing quality as good as theres? other than dvd rips? exactly no one hold a flame up to maVen, just hope that news article i put up wasnt about them... being caught and all...

not sure why my post arent showing up. i made it hours ago come on mods get with it please.....


::EDIT:: Hey, we have to fuckin' sleep you know! - Neversoft::

Watched this movie in the cinema yesterday its worth watching

V: 5
A: 6
M: 10

in my opinion being the first to release isn't that great. Wouldn't you rather be the group to be the first to release a WATCHABLE copy?

v- 4 dark, missing parts

a- 4 muffled, audience noise as well

m-? probably awesome, but i can't tell from this copy.

is maVen realeasing this sometime this year?

i figured it would have been released by now.... maybe im just impatient.....
