drugs kill! - look what they did to this movie

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2009)

A blind person could see what went wrong with this movie - too much cocaine on the set, like with Cimino's "Heavan's Gate." I'm not kidding. Coke might not be the problem here, but some narcotic is. That's the only explanation I can come with for why this film is such a mess.
Take the introduction of one of the main heroes of the film, Jack Sparrow - not until half-way through the film by the way, why the delay? Anyway, he's in the underworld, and his means of escape involves him turning that world upside down. Pure drug-fantasy, circa 1969. Then there's the 'bigger, badder' battle sequence at the end - a confusing vortex of swirling color, flashing lights, crowds running about doing god knows what with pointy objects - a Led Zepplin stage production from the early 1970s.
I don't know what else to say about this bloated, outrageously expensive 'happening' of a promo for action dolls and fast-food drink cups. What a con!
