Outrageous and overboard but still a fun film

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2017)

The third Pirates of the Caribbean film concludes the Gore Verbinski trilogy in outrageous fashion. The Royal Navy has taken to extreme measure to fight the scourge of piracy. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) have joined forces with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Tia Dalma (Naomie Harris) to recruit the pirate lords to fight Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) and Lord Beckett (Tom Hollander). Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) has been stranded in Davy Jones's locker where he talks to duplicates. The crew sails to the end of the world to bring back Jack, as he is the last leader needed to unite the pirates.
The crew leaves the underworld aboard the Black Pearl where Elizabeth discovers her father Governor Weatherby Swann (Jonathan Pryce) has died. Sparrow has lost his mind but still, figures out the trick to escape the underworld by flipping the ship. The crew makes it to an island but they are captured by Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Jack is delivered to Lord Beckett who now possesses Davy Jones's heart after Norrington (Jack Davenport) delivered it to him at the end of the previous film. Barbossa convinces Feng to turn on Beckett by trading Ms. Swannm, and Jack Sparrow escapes with the Pearl the compass, heading to Shipwreck Cove.
