The happiest I've been in...well, weeks.

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2007)

I would say that I felt better walking out of the theater after the end of "At World's End" than I have in a long, long time...but seeing as I saw "Hot Fuzz" (another cinema masterpiece) just a few weeks earlier, that would be a rather dubious claim.
Nevertheless, I feel obliged to report that this is a film which does not disappoint in the slightest. The story, far from being "too convoluted", offers up both new intrigue and satisfying resolution: there are a few muddled moments, but nothing which lingers long enough to create a problem. The action is spectacular (completely and wonderfully over the top at times), and all the actors (expectedly with Rush and Depp, surprisingly with Bloom and Knightley) put in superb performances. The best praise I can offer, however, is this: I'll see "At World's End" in theaters again, and gladly pay for the privilege.
