At World's End Review

Posted : 16 years, 4 months ago on 9 December 2007 10:27

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

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.

First review? Alrighty.

Went to a full house show of the 3rd PotC, and it's one heck of an action packed adventure. It's darker than the previous one, lots of random characters gettin the sword, and just the overall tone of the film. I do have to agree with the critics in that there were some elements that were confusing, there are a few things that seemed odd and unexplained, but I'll see it again, hoping that they'll be cleared up. You have to see it on the big screen for the amazing effects and battles, and there are plenty of twists and turns as each character tries to fill their own agenda.

It's tough to talk about the movie without giving away anything, so go and see it before someone lets slip what happens...

And definitely stay after the credits...
