worst of the 3

Rating: 4/10 (26 May 2007)

it seems to me that these movies got progressively worse. they got longer, more confusing, and ridiculously fantastic. i know its cool to have everyone back-stabbing each other but to a point. it started getting so confusing that it felt like homework. like i need to take notes just to keep track of who's on who's side. then things just go too unrealistic. i know that undead skeletons aren't the most realistic thing, but that whole thing with Jack and those rock crabs, or the boat flipping over, or the dead people going to the other world in those little boats were just too much. it went from action/adventure to fantasy/nonsense. and i don't know what it is with directors today but im tired of this over 2 hrs crap. this movie could've been shorter and not lost a thing. so many sense i found myself saying "ok i got it"...but they had to keep going with the same thing, just from a different angle. i got that the boat was flipped over. i didn't need to see everyone face after it happened. i didn't need to see that view from far away with the water line thing. and for gods sake did the drag out that fight between the pearl and the dutchman. that was almost a movie within itself...and i do admit that i had a tooth ache while i was watching this so i did have an outside reason for wanting to leave....but it was like for the last half hour i kept thinking that each scene was the last scene. it was agony...but regardless of everything i just said, i did like the movie. i just wouldn't suggest watching it in theaters..and in comparison, to the 1st and 2nd its last.
