Terrible.... Just terrible

Rating: 2/10 (10 December 2007)

In all my years of movie watching I have never, without exception, intentionally not finished watching a film. I haven't ever walked out of a cinema, stopped a DVD or switched off a Video recorder. Even though I will admit to watching some bad movies the compulsion has never been there. Until now.. I sat through 1 hour of at worlds end last night and just couldn't take any more. Its all been said before but the plot was confusing, there was nothing remotely funny about the film and everything was a just rush between the next big scene.
I am a believer in giving a movie a chance, no matter how awful, but given the huge budget of this movie and well paid script writers / director, I feel the public is just being massively ripped off here.
This is a real shame as I think Johnny Depp is a wonderfully natural actor, and Geoffrey Rush is every bit his equal when it comes to hamming up the whole pirate thing. What a shame they have to add this awful film to their CV's.
