Black Sails meets Star Wars c/o The Muppets

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2017)

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (POTC3) is a fantasy movie version of the Disneyland theme park ride, with added elements from Star Wars and The Muppets. POTC3's special effects might keep your eyes fixated on the screen, but what you see will make no sense. The movie features a squid-faced alien, a square-rigger being carried on the backs of thousands of crabs, talking skulls, ships falling off the end of the world—literally, and more. Dream sequence or no, the whole movie reeks of fantasy nonsense.
None of the POTC movies to date have much to do with reality, or with actual 17th century pirates. Real swashbucklers were far more interesting—and far more terrifying—than this drivel. It's a shame Disney decided to target the 10-14 year old boy audience with big budget junkers instead of producing an authentic, big-screen version of Black Sails.
When I was about 14, my friend's cat got sick and began trailing something from its hindquarters. I think that stringy, tubular thing, soaked in food coloring, became the script for this movie. The story elements become irrelevant, lost in the absurdity of what's happening on screen.
Simply put, this movie is an insult to the intelligence.
NOTE: extra star added for the special effects.
