Not the best of the 3 movies and too late for a spoiler

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2007)

I obviously love these pirate movies as I would not be commenting. Pirates 2 was the best of the trilogy, where Pirates 1 was a very good introduction to the series, Pirates 2 stole the show. Johnny Depp truly carried the first one as Captain Jack Sparrow. I remember saying to someone I just love this goofy pirate. Johnny is just great as Captain Jack Sparrow. Will played a great sidekick or should I say apprentice to Jack.
Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl was the best written and acted. Pirates 3 was just too much. Too much as too many story lines, too much action where the previous storyline could have been explained. Too many villains to the point I could not follow the story. Jack's part was great, but Elizabeth was blown up so much she almost outweighed Jack. I loved the explanation of Tia Dalma, but it was just a bit too much. I can't wait for Pirates 3 to go to DVD so I can make sense of many of the parts and players. I did not like the ending with Will dying, but since he is immortal now, he can make an appearance in other installations of the movie.
Many people seem to think Jack and Elizabeth blended well together, but I don't. Jack was not the type Elizabeth would be satisfied with. She would always try to change him which is a big no-no. She was better with Will, he was a pirate through and through, but honest enough to satisfy her varying taste in men. Secondly, even though Jack has this youthful appearance, he seemed a bit too old for Elizabeth. I have never liked the way Hollywood put together romances with men to old for the female. It would never work in real life, not unless the man was extremely rich and the female is a good pretender. Jack is better off with the hookers, I just love the character, but he is a bit sleezy. One big hurrah for Disney, Jack's character is goofy, but extremely intelligent, handsome and witty. Perfect blend.
