A ship too far

Rating: 2/10 (27 June 2007)

The first two instalments of this, let's face it, jumped up thrill ride, were bearable from a visual point of view because there was some imagination in the screenplay, and a knowing and ironic take on the old standbys of the genre. This one however is so convoluted and archly constructed that even allowing for the still impressive effects, I neither knew or cared what was going on within the first half hour; it just got more and more silly, confusing, and boring to boot. Enough is enough, there was no story to begin with, and we forgave them that..but no more...I like Johnny Depp and no doubt he has bills to pay, but I never want to see him ponce around like that ever again, it's pathetic, the only bright spot in the whole thing was Keith Richards, he has actually got screen presence, and knocked everyone else off the screen in his brief appearance...not worth waiting a whole 2 hours for though. Forget this rubbish....yuck.
