Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End


All the gang's back to save Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' (Bill Nighy's) Locker and fight Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) for control of the sea.

Brilliant third installment to the Pirates trilogy. The action and special effects are over the top and wonderful. The story is perhaps not as good as the first two but still excellent. There are some very bizarre moments with Jack in Davy Jones' locker that reappear throughout the movie and don't quite fit in. However, Elizabeth kicks butt as always, which is refreshing and wonderful. The two bumbling British officers from the very first movie and went missing in the second are back and brilliant. Plus, Keith Richards makes his appearance as Jack's dad. The love story...well...I won't comment so I won't ruin it. Overall, I greatly enjoyed the film with all its action, humor, love story, and its throwbacks to the first two. Top notch.

Also, if you stay until the very last credit rolls, there is a special scene at the end that is "perhaps" where the story might go if they make another movie. Who really knows what that means? But it's worth the "Ten Years" of waiting through the credits to watch.

My favorite parts of the movie:

Special Effects
What Elizabeth becomes
The two bumbling British officers
throwbacks to the first two films
Getting to see un-tentaclly Davy Jones
The scene at the very end

5 out of 5 stars.
