no closure...

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2007)

I must say, I honestly can not figure out my feelings about the movie. After seeing it, I go back and forth as to whether or not I like it. I feel like the plot could have been way different. Completely not what I was expecting. I think the ending definitely leaves room for a fourth one, but from what I've heard, a fourth film is possible, but unlikely. If there isn't a fourth movie, they should have at least done me the gratitude of killing Orlando Bloom's character. Even if there was a fourth one,I do not know how in the world they could stick him into the plot, now that he is gone for 10 years? So what is to become of Mrs. Turner? Secondly, I could hardly understand some of the more important scenes because it seemed like mumble to me, but perhaps it is because I wasn't completely clued into the 2nd one. Lastly, I thought the screenwriters missed a wonderful opportunity to make the movie a tad bit better. (Remember that scene where Calypso told the pirates there would be a rough journey home from the underworld, well, it wasn't as rough as I was expecting it to be. They could have added a more thrill factor to it.) Other than some parts in the plot, I felt the film was quite good. Just not how I would have made it, but maybe we will just have to enjoy the movie for what it is.
