this movie is a better one then the previous two pirates of the carribean movies and is a movie which has a well developed plot and a good action sequence and some drama making it appealing to many different groups of people and making it to me a 10/10 movie

A bit of an Anti Climax

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 4 March 2008 02:25 (A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

The build up to this film was humongous, the end of a fantastic trilogy of films, what could possibly be bad about it?!

Well, the second film had the same build up and whilst not as good as the first, it was capable of doing the job Disney wanted: Building up hope of an epic finale, pulling in more people, all to watch the third movie go out with a bang. That film ended with Jack walking into the mouth of the kracken, and then the rest of the cast finding out there was a chance they could get him back, along with everything else their individual stories involved them wanting.

This ending had me waiting with huge anticipation, i was convinced this film was going to be the biggest film id see in 2007 and i was looking forward to the satisfied feeling i would have when i would leave the cinema fulfilled and in awe of a spectacular ending.
Sadly i didnt feel any of this, i left the cinema questioning why certain illogical things happened the way they did, wondering why someone would chose the middle of a deadly sword fight to have a domestic argument, and why characters had a tendency to just die because the plot said so. I know trying to apply logic to a Disney film is the one big mistake i made, but i feel the main mistake was believing that a film was ever going to be as good as the adverts made it seem. I guess it is kind of obvious thinking about it, no film needs that much hype, advertising and attention if it is going to be good. You dont need a degree in film to tell a story is weak, so it makes sense they would use the budget they neglected to give to the writers, on adverts of grandeur and "special effects" (Obviously no one has learned a lesson from the Matrix!)
This was an entertaining film at least, but then anything can be entertaining if it trys. It just does not live up to expectation in the least and it is an insult to the first film.

A bad review of Pirates!?!

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 26 February 2008 05:29 (A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

The storyline of this film feels like butter spread to thin. There wasn't enough storyline or original writing to maintain the premise...how shall we fill the glaring gaps? With loads of special effects, and sweeping scenes showing off the make-up artistry.

Obviously Johnny Depp was great and the pirate thing is a riot, but both of these can be seen in the first film. Kiera Knightly took centre stage in this film..*SIGH*...utterly unconvincing as a Pirate Queen. Knightly was out acted even by the planks of wood lining 'The Pearl'.

I won't be popular with this opinion...but someone's got to play Devil's Advocate.

At World's End Review

Posted : 2 years ago on 9 December 2007 04:27 (A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

Five hours after I've finished watching this I'm still trying to decide if I actually like it. Sure there is plenty of action, special effects, attempts at humour (which I didn't really find funny) but after all that I still don't know. Which probably means something right there. I was disappointed with the second one in the series and this I can say for sure was better then the second, I wasn't disappointed but I felt it was far too long and by one of the final battle scenes I was a tad bored. Although probably mainly for the fact that that battle scene was so drawn out it became tedious. Does Hollywood seem to think just because they have a lot of action, explosions and lots of pointless running about that we'll be entertained like a pack of morons? Pack a battle scene with so much chaos and confusion and perhaps we'll be so disorientated by the end of it we won't know if it was good or bad.
There's also the fact that half way through I walked away from the movie to do something, was gone for about 10 minutes and by the time I came back I'd forgotten most of what had happened.
I think for me the best part out of the whole movie was when Sparrow (Depp) was on his ship in the middle of no where and the stone appeared (if you've seen it you'll know what I mean), after that it just went a bit downhill...
And after ripping into it I realise I didn't dislike it so I guess I have to go with a 5 rating wise for the sheer fact that I can't decide if it was good, bad or neither. I do know however that if you are a Depp fan you'll be entertained enough to want to watch the whole thing.

MUST SEE

Posted : 2 years, 2 months ago on 15 September 2007 07:54 (A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

This movie is amazing! and in so many ways......
Ok, it still doesnt beat the first one, but still one of my fav movies. Who wouldn't like it?

I absolutely LOVE pirates of the caribbean, and with this one comes no difference. It is officialy the best series of movies ever. No doubt about it. In this one the crew sail to 'the end of the earth' (davy jones' locker) no rescue back witty jack sparrow. Many problems and twists in this resulting in an end you will never guess. I have no say my favourite part was; being a huge johnny depp fan, the part with all the jack sparrow's in davy jones' locker...

Well obviously the first actor i will mention did the most amazing job (as he does in all other potc films)......JOHNNY DEPP is i will say the most amazing and tallented and good looking actor you will ever see on screen. He is so natural as the role of jack sparrow, the movie just wouldn't be the same without johnny depp.
Next ofcourse Will Turner aka Orlando Bloom was another great actor. He ia seriously perfect for will turner, you can't get much better than that.
Keira Knightley was the only really average acting in this movie. Unlike the others, the movie could have done without her and perhaps a different actor. I dont know, maybe its just me....
Another person to mention is Jack Davenport who plays Commodore Norrington. I never really noticed him or how much i adore him until this movie. He is AMAZING!
Other mentions Bill Nighy as once again a great job.
Pirates have seriously the best mix of actors and actresses, all(well, most) of them being perfect for their character personalities.

I really can't put into words how to describe this movie. Its just a 'must see' movie. If you havnt already (which you must be crazy not to have) you simply MUST see it.
Yes, 5 stars, but not completely 100% just because of a few things about it that i didnt like. but still very close. ;)
remember to watch the clip at the end of the credits aswell.

alrighty then
This Pirates movie is amazing.Our adorable Captain Jack Sparrow is back and he will have you bent double with tears in your eyes from laughing. Keria's character is a lot more darker and has changed that tad bit too much since we first came to know her and Will's future is too grim for my liking. i agree that you should not wait till after the credits because the scene was a bit of a let down if you are a major fan like me but i guess you will just have to decide for yourself
SEE IT

It was good, but not a classic

Posted : 2 years, 6 months ago on 31 May 2007 06:05 (A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)

In my eyes, this movie was pretty good. A mix of suspense, action, and comedy made the movie an 8 in my books. The only issue I had is the fact that it could be a little boring at times, and there are some slight disappointments with what some of the characters end up to be. The thing that probably dropped my review an entire point was the scene that is after the credits. When you are ready to see something amazing and all you get is something you knew would happen anyway, wouldn't you be disappointed? I would suggest seeing it, but don't be too overjoyed about it, and definatly don't wait for the scene after the credits.
