What do you expect from a movie based on a theme park ride?

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2007)

Hey people, let's keep this in perspective. This isn't a film adaptation of some great work of fiction or even a comic book hero. Remember, this movie and its two predecessors are based on a Disney theme park ride. This is why I enjoyed the first movie immensely. I got a lot more out of it than I was expecting; however, I lost interest by the second movie and only went to the third movie because my 13 year old wanted to see it. At least Spiderman, although based on a comic book character, picked up on and enhanced an existing story-line and developed characters. I couldn't help but keep thinking, all through the tangled plot and impressive special effects of POTC3, that this carnival ride had gone too far. Hopefully, we've seen the last of POTC.
