Entertaining, if you can understand it

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2007)

Two different ratings can be given to this movie. One for those who look for entertainment, and those who look for something IN movies farther than mental drudgery for a couple hours.
If you go for entertainment, this movie won't please you. This movie is so much more complex than many of the movies I have seen these days. They gives you about twenty different story lines and character ideas to follow, you never really know who is on who's side.
This movie definitely did sway away from the "family values" that the first (and sort of second) had. At worlds End was too violent and too complex for the young-lings to grasp. It may sound condescending to anyone under 14, but no one under 14 should bother watching this.
I loved this movie, but I did have a couple problems. **Spoilers**
The pirates had about 11 or so ships, while the Trade Company had about a hundred. Now tell me why the hell only two ships went to battle? To Avoid the maelstrom? Not very patriotic.
Secondly, while I loved every minute of the complexity, it was still confusing even for me. I think the "triple agent" ideal on most of the main characters was relatively unnecessary.
But yea, It all depends on what you expect to see in the movie before you actually see it, to tell if you'll like it or not. If you go in expecting it'll suck, then it will. If you go in expecting that it is VERY different from the first two, you might enjoy and understand it.
