Edge

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2007)

This movie gave Will Turner's (Orlando) character and Elisabeth (Keira) character finally an edge, that was needed! By doing so, the whole experience did elevate and the movie became better! Of course the main reason to watch this, is still Captain Jack Sparrow! And maybe a cameo from someone ... ;o)
Chow Yun Fat is the main new player in this installment and he fits right in. He plays it straight and gives us enough of a back story to excuse his participation in this movie. Other than that you have all the other players you've come to know from the previous movies ... although you soon realize (as with Will and Elisabeth) that you didn't know them as good, as you thought! There is really a great deal of things happening with the character stories, so you have to be careful to catch every development going on. But even if that's not up to your taste you can still enjoy a blockbuster, that tries to be a bit different (and achieves that IMO)
