Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2007)

There happens so much in this film, but at the same time there happens nothing worth remembering. That's due to the fact that the conflicts are coming and going almost like nothing happens. Nothing leaves any traces on our main characters, everything is manageable, nothing is or seems impossible. As a result no tension whatsoever builds up. I didn't give a damn about any of the characters. In fact, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" has the exact same problems than its predecessor "Dead Man's Chest". Effect, effects, effects, and a pinch of fun, that is all. The also not-so-great "Spider-Man 3" had at least likable characters, for which you rooted to make it. But here I often asked myself: What is the goal of all this fighting and why should I care? Who are these people? To conclude, I will just repeat a line I wrote about "Dead Man's Chest": It provides some entertainment at the moment you watch it, but that's it.
