Great Ending to a Story

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2008)

Pirates 3 has a great combination of effects and stunts, along with an outstanding cast and crew, and the story allows it to tie up loose ends while allowing debate among fans as to what will happen next to various characters. By the time the Endeavor is destroyed, most of the loose ends are covered, with the fact that the pirates are once again free to roam the seas and the Royal Navy has been defeated, along with Davy Jones and his crew. Yet, we are still left with the question of whether or not Jack Sparrow, once again left to sail the seas in a dinghy, will find the greatest treasure of them all. Also, what will happen to Will and Elizabeth's relationship now that he is bound to the Dutchman forever, but is married to Elizabeth with a son. Many people might say that these are story lines to be picked up in Pirates 4, but I believe that they are left intentionally for fans to discuss and debate about and wouldn't actually be up to being the basis of a whole other movie. Though I would like to see Jack and the rest of the cast come back for more, I like where the trilogy stands now and believe that a fourth movie may end up being overkill. I enjoyed this movie a lot and the only reason it didn't get 10 stars is the fact that it was a continuation of Dead Man's Chest, which was still good but didn't measure up to number 1 or 3. I recommend this to anyone looking to watch a great movie.
