Disney with Attitude

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2007)

Pirates 3 was better than Pirates 2. Even though it has A lot more exposition (some of it incoherent), it's a footnote to the near flawless cgi, fair amount of violence (Go Disney!) and pretty darn good acting. The cast stepped up, the crew stepped up, the budget stepped up, the whole thing stepped up! The only thing in limbo in this movie is Will. He had means and opportunity to beef up his character. But he simpered on arrival. The plot though confusing did what it was supposed to do. It made the preeminent summer movie spectacular a little more involving than to have the sequel that goes "Hey you remember when we did that? Well We did it... AGAIN!" Overall: B+
