What a mess the series has come into!!!

Rating: 5/10 (29 December 2007)

***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*** I was in deep regret that i went to watch this film when I came out after watching it. i didn't expect that quality of the storyline and direction would fall to such a low level in the third installment. What were they thinking about when making the film???
The only high-point of the film was its starting. The treatment of the World's End was well enough. But again a lot of explanation was lacking regarding how Jack Sparrow reached that place after facing the Cragon in the 2nd part. Was he dead or alive?? everything's a mystery and those silly crabs were worth forgetting. But at that part the film still looked bearable and hence the five stars i've given it. but after that it slumps into a kind of pit from where it never manages to come out. characters keep coming and going without any effect. there were hardly any laughs compared to pirates-1 and 2nd. the characters didn't inspire at all. they were trying to show their emotions but looked more comic without any laughs. it was a confused plot and no substance at all. Davy Jones came up with his love story but in vain. It didn't inspire at all. The East India Company looked devoid of any sort of drive and enthusiasm. But the biggest letdown was very little screen-time for Jack Sparrow. He hardly had great scenes in the movie.
Overall it was a sorry affair and i hope they don't think about continuing the series. It's all over and out for the Pirates. Gore Verbinski should look for some other story now. Depp should hunt for some other character.
