What a bore.

Rating: 4/10 (27 May 2007)

I had high hopes for this movie, and perhaps that was my mistake.
I went to the theatre figuring that it couldn't be worse than "Dead Man's Chest" and hoping for something along the lines of "Curse of the Black Pearl." I can say that this was better than DMC, but not nearly as good as the original. Captain Jack Sparrow's role in this story is much smaller than what it was in the first two movies. Subsequently, the focus is primarily on Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan and their romance, an aspect of this entire trilogy that I thought was over done, it was clear from the beginning that they were going to get together. The last scene before the credits was far and away the best of the entire film, because it had the same tone of the original film.
The special effects were well done, but the story was rather boring, and I kind of wish I could get that three hours back of my life. The theatre I went to didn't even have any cool new trailers before the movie.
So far the big summer blockbusters have all been disappointing, to me any way. I just hope the next few months aren't as bad.
