... View MoreThis is my favorite movie of all time! It has an amazing story, great acting, great action scenes. And Hans Zimmer's best soundtrack. There is only 1 other person I know, that loves this movie as much as I do. This movie was one of the most expensive movies ever made. It cost 300$ million. And it got 900$ million. It has one of the best battle scenes in any movie I have scene.
... View MorePirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End the third installment of the Pirates franchise was really excellent. I felt it wrapped up everything from the previous installments and it was a good story.At Worlds End takes place only a few months after Dead Man's chest which story wise is not very long at all. Lord Beckett of the East India Trading Company (The worst and wimpiest villain in all the franchise) has command of Davy Jones heart thanks to former Commodore Norrington, Beckett now controls Jones which in turn gives him power over the seas and over the pirate community which he despises. Meanwhile, Will and Elizabeth with the newly brought back to life Captain Hector Barbossa venture to Davy Jones Locker to bring back Captain Jack Sparrow, who has gone a little mad due to his time in the Locker, a desert like barren place with odd and mysterious things happening. They need Jack because along with Barbossa he is one of the nine pirate lords that can summon the brethren court who can stop Lord Beckett (That wimpy man) and his rampage.World's End was exciting and it felt like an exploration/action story to me. I like the bizarre things in the film, like Davy Jones Locker, how Jack is a little mad in it, and I especially loved the fight at the end with the big whirlpool and the storm. What really shocked me is the negative reviews this pirates received, it was not bad at all, movie reviewers these days can't seem to see a good story when they see one. I loved how Will takes over Davy Jones place as soul carrier of the sea. I liked how Jack and Will's friendship is shown through Jack making Will the new Soul carrier. And I loved the post credits scene where ten years later it shows Will and Elizabeth's son, Henry. Who plays a big part in the fifth installment of Pirates. The only downside to Pirates 3 was Lord Beckett, I hated that villain. Worst pirates villain in the series. Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End was fun and very piraty which I loved. It feels in a lot of gaps for future installments. Long Live the Pirate Life 10/10 for At Worlds End
... View MoreFilmed back to back with 'Dead Man's Chest' this third 'Pirates' film suffers lots of the same problems as the film that preceded it.It's almost as if the producers just said "We have Captain Jack, people love him. Lets just give the audience more of him, and throw in a ridiculously silly plot along with it".Overlong, over complicated - if the second film sucked the fun from the franchise, then this drains it dry completely.It has it's moments, but one funny exchange amongst a mass of CGI trickery every half hour is not enough.Oddly this didn't sink the series completely, but it didn't do it much good.
... View MoreOverly long and filled with confusing story beats, character twists and mythology, At World's End closes the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy with a whimper.The movie constantly has its characters make weird and unclear decisions and has a muddling plot that seems to take forever to get to the commendable final battle. The return of Geoffrey Rush's Barbossa is a welcome addition, but even he and the final battle can't save this odd adventure that should have been 30 minutes shorter at least.
