Pretty disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2007)

Spider-Man 3 was good but not great, Shrek 3 nice but not good and Pirates 3... well, to me At Worlds End is over long, confusing and at most times pretty boring. Too many story lines made the movie so fragmented that I didn't care about the ending anymore. I saw the movie four hours ago and frankly, there wasn't one scene that really stood up. Oh yes, perhaps the surreal Jack Sparrow ones in the afterlife. Well done. Reminded me of the ending of 2001. Keira Knightly looked as pretty as ever. The cameo of Keith Richards was also very nice though not vital to the story. I liked Pirates 2 a lot. That was just no nonsense fun with some great visual jokes. I hope the producers will let the Pirates franchise rest a while and maybe come back with a new chapter in five years. Or better: make something entirely new. But with the billion dollar box office success I expect mr. Sparrow to be back with a new adventure before 2009. Too bad.
