I kinda liked the movies :P but yeah, they were clearly derivative of monkey island (particularly the first two) they should have thanked the monkey island devs for the inspiration. I actually am bummed cuz any MI movie that comes out will have to avoid a lot of the things pirates of the carribean stole otherwise THEY will be labeled cheap rip offs (lol) Screw you disney!

Johnny Depp can sure be cool, but the movies are F*&%ing retarded, IMO => --- On Mon, 6/15/09, Kent Petersen <kentkmp@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Kent Petersen <kentkmp@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [project1dev] Re: new monkey island games To: project1dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, June 15, 2009, 2:19 PM Speaking of Monkey Island and Disney. I once read somewhere that Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3's story were ripped straight from Monkey Island. The Monkey Island creator was all upset because they gayed up his vision and didn't give him credit.
