Pirates of the Caribbean / At World's End : 3 of 5
5.31.2007 6:42 AM \| Link	For the most part, I really enjoyed the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, but unfortunately I think it could have been a much better film if the story had been simplified a bit. If you thought it took a little thinking to keep track of everyone's motives in Dead Man's Chest, you will go a little crazy trying to figure out At World's End, which has as many double-crosses as the Black Pearl has holes in its sails! All of the characters have a secret agenda, many of which have little effect on the main flow of the plot, so my advice is just to enjoy the amazing visuals and exciting action, and don't worry so much about everything else (definitely not how you would normally watch a Disney movie!). On the positive side, the battles are fantastic (I really enjoyed the wedding sequence), the huge special effects sequences (like the massive waterfall and the huge whirlpool) are totally cool, and seeing scraggly old Keith Richards make his appearance was actually much cooler than I thought it would be. I only spotted one line from the Disneyland attraction, but it was great to hear it, especially as delivered by Barbossa, who in many ways out-pirates Jack! Geoffrey Rush is really fantastic, shouting his pirate dialogue with sheer gusto. Johnny Depp is fun as always, although I wasn't too fond of the multiple-Jacks idea. The ending was a big surprise to me, since it's definitely not a typical happy ending, but it definitely wipes the slate clean for the next possible film. Even though this trilogy's final chapter is my least favorite, it still makes for an amazing theater experience! Labels: disney, movies
