Such a frustrating disappointment
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, find Jack Sparrow, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle. Not the best of the Pirates films but definitely way better than i remember it, the plot was kinda heavy at times, the perfomances quite well, the jokes at times did fall flat tho. The special effects were outstanding and the final big battle very well executed especially the Jack Sparrow v.s Davy Jones part was pretty amazing although the 169 minute running time wasn't that much needed to be perfectly honest here.. (7.0/10)
Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to Pirates Of The Carribean: At Worlds End.This one has even more plot holes than the second movie. Sometimes they're minor quibbles that can be forgiven. But sometimes they're too glaringly obvious to ignore.When it comes to the final hour, the movie delivers. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for the other 108 minutes of this bloated and uneven movie. It's far too long and needlessly complex!! The majority of the movie is dull, slow-moving and uninvolving. The main quality of the first movie was that it was fun. There is little fun to be had in the first 90 minutes of this movie. Too many deals and too much double crossing. It's like the film makers forgot what made the first one so much fun. The Kieth Richards cameo is lame. Tia Dalma/ Calypso was absolutely pointless. All she did was create an abyss and make it rain for a while. So much time was devoted to this character and that was it. As was Norington. He was pointless in the second movie, and now they try and give him some redemption!! Nah just pointless. Is Mr.Gibbs sole purpose in these movies just to explain things to the viewers?? The final hour is almost enough to make you forget how much of a labor it is to sit through the first two-thirds - almost!! It doesn't blend the humor as well, the jokes are lazy and Captain Jack Sparrow finds his screen time limited. A late entrance and too many side-stories take the focus from the best thing in the movies. He is not in the opening half hour. When Mackenzie Crook says "There must be a good reason for our suffering" I feel like he is speaking for the audience. Sadly when he turns up, it is Johnny Depp acting like he was still in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.the next ten minutes is a waste of time as 20 Jack Sparrows run amock. The irony is not lost when Jack says "We have lost time. Valuable time. Time we cannot get back!!" or maybe it was lost on the filmmakers after all. Kiera Knightley continues to evolve from damsel in distress to full-fledged pirate. Sadly, her chemistry with Depp is absent this time around. Orlando Bloom has a bit more to do this time around. Finally, Will Turner has becomes something a little more interesting than a one-dimensional hero. Sadly their wedding is pathetic and The less said about Elizabeth's freedom speach the better!! Considering it is a Disney movie there is a lot of adult humour about Elizabeth. She is asked to remove her clothes, she has a weapon in a seriously private place (Good luck in the bedroom Will Turner) there is a joke about one of the pirates looking up her shirt, that she is wearing as a dress!! Sao Fenn forcibly kisses her. Seriously where the hell did she have that last gun hidden?? POTC: At Worlds End grossed $309 million at the domestic box office, to end 2007 as the 4th highest grossing movie of the year.
Let me get one thing out of the way right now. I have not seen this film since possible when it was first released over eight years ago. So this review might not be that good and will probably be very heavily revised if I ever see this film again. But I will do my best from memory. The film starts off with the group trying to save Johnny Deep's character from Davy Jone's Locker Room and they do so. The name Davy Jone's Locker Room reminds me very much of Spongebob Squarepants. Also during the movie Orlando Blooms character and the main female get married but that happened very late in the film. One scene that sticks out to me and that might be a reason I only saw it once was the kid getting killed at the start. Again, I can't remember this too well so the review may be very off but I remember the movie being okay. Not that great but nowhere near the level of the first two films. That was the worst part of it to me.
The third Pirates of the Caribbean film concludes the Gore Verbinski trilogy in outrageous fashion. The Royal Navy has taken to extreme measure to fight the scourge of piracy. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) have joined forces with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris) to recruit the pirate lords to fight Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) and Lord Beckett (Tom Hollander). Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) has been stranded in Davy Jones's locker where he talks to duplicates. The crew sails to the end of the world to bring back Jack, as he is the last leader needed to unite the pirates.The crew leaves the underworld aboard the Black Pearl where Elizabeth discovers her father Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce) has died. Sparrow has lost his mind but still, figures out the trick to escape the underworld by flipping the ship. The crew makes it to an island but they are captured by Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Jack is delivered to Lord Beckett who now possesses Davy Jones's heart after Norrington (Jack Davenport) delivered it to him at the end of the previous film. Barbossa convinces Feng to turn on Beckett by trading Ms. Swannm, and Jack Sparrow escapes with the Pearl the compass, heading to Shipwreck Cove.Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com
