Too long, too loud, too boring

Rating: 2/10 (6 June 2007)

"Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End" is too much.
Trust me. It's not a recommendation.
It is too long, too loud, too boring and there is too much stuff going on on screen. Utterly confusing and incoherent. As for the acting... I know that it is too much to expect anything more than acting broad strokes in a Summer Blockbuster tent pole release, but Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley were personality vacuums and Johnny Depp was not nearly as funny as in the previous movies. And Keith Richards cameo? OK. I admit it. I did smile when he appeared.
Keef rules! Yes, "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End" cost a lot of money, and make no mistake, the money is all up there on the screen ( the special effects are astounding), but it is a terrible, terrible movie in almost every other way possible. Repeat after me, special effects alone do not a movie make.
I hear that "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End" has just won the best movie in the MTV awards. Ah... I take it all back, then. Stupid children.
