Editorial Reviews: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece." In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: maybe the best of the trilogy Comment: This is an amazing film, top notch i have seen all of the trilogy and this film is possibly the best, ignore any one who has rated this 1 star and has said they have only watched 30min of it, the film goes on for awhile but that makes it all the better in my opinion, the cast is amazing as always with even more new characters, the effects are quality and has a great story, i strongly recomend this to any one who loves the other two films and has not watched this film yet, and to any film lover, because i think any one can enjoy this, but would be an easier watch if the first two films were watched first, but this is one of the best trilogy's ever made, if not the best. Customer Rating: Summary: 'Yo Ho, Haul Together' Comment: What can I say? I mean, 3 hours is a BIT long...! And the storyline falls apart like porridge if you think about it too hard, but you've got to admit that Johnny Depp's done himself proud - I don't think I've ever laughed so much! Ok, so POTC 3 is the least funny of the lot (Jack Sparrow only says savvy once!!!), but it's definately the most epic. I mean, there's a blooming great whirlpool! And there's a sea battle thats acted out with entirely graphic sea! I mean, clever or what?!? I defy you to find a funnier trilogy then Pirates of the Caribbean. It's basically impossible! OK, there are bits that you get a bit lost in, but WHO CARES!?!? Becuase, quite frankly, it's a laugh, and that's the only thing you want from POTC apart from the WOW-factor of the animations. So get it. It's one of my family's favourite and most-watched films! I mean, there are a few people who are disappointed (so if you're worried you'll be one of them, rent it) BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Buy it ! Comment: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Bought this last year and every time I watch it, it still makes me laugh. What more can you say? Buy it, you wont be disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: Editor needed Comment: Sequels can get very self-absorbed but this one is chiefly notable for its excessive length, one begins to lose the will to listen after 40 minutes (so the plot appears unclear) and after an hour one hopes the heroes will be wiped out to allow us all to escape. I gave up in the end. Surely it could have been punchier than this? Customer Rating: Summary: WHAT, NO KRAKEN??????!!!!!! (slight spoilers) Comment: I will generously give this two stars because the production values are high - easy though with a 100 million dollar budget.... The core values, plot, pacing and structure are a mess! I didn't like the first movie BUT I really enjoyed Dead Mans Chest with it's better and bigger setpieces. This, however, is a dissapointment and it's way, way too long! What happened to The Kraken? One of the best elements of Dead Mans Chest is dealt with in a couple of sentences and a single VERY brief post-mortem scene. If you really enjoyed the cephalopodical attacks of the previous film then you are going to be very let down here! It's not as if the film even offers us a better and bigger monster - all you get here is an enormous whirlpool and a 50 foot woman/sea goddess (looks ridiculous)!! And as for the scenes where Jack Sparrow is in the afterlife - just a complete load of tosh - Even Johnny Depp looks bored by now! There's plenty of fighting at the film's climactic battle (which is impressive visually) but by that time I was GENUINELEY nodding off! It was difficult to see who was even fighting who amongst all the CG ships, giant waves and whirlpools! Fair play, the CG on the water elements (notoriously difficult to animate)is outstanding. Not the worst ever film, but a dissapointment after an excellent second installment. I doubt I would ever watch it again. More Reviews
