Rating: 2/10 (24 May 2007)

I will tell you this, this movie was better than the second Pirates movie. But there is no way that it is the movie for the year or even the summer. The box office numbers will look good based on the 3000 screens for the preview night ( $14 million in tickets) and the extended weekend of 4 days.
Tired storyline with no emotional attachment to the characters. There were funny moments( not many), there were visually entertaining moments but all in all the screenplay had the continuity of a screenplay written by 2 4th grade classes located in different states and each class were only allowed to see one of the previous movies yet charged with combining together and writing the finale ( lets hope). The story was disconected and lacked originality. Barbosa was the glue that tried to hold the plot together. Beckett was weak as a villain and the story lacked a hero. What was this Calypso crap? What an opportunity to maximize the ending with Calypso causing havoc and forcing heroism from someone...but no ! we get crabs!
If it were not for the skills of Geoffery Rush and Keith Richards the Movie would have gone down with all hands on board.
Too Long! Too Short on storyline.
The final action sequence was so appropriate....two ships spiraling around and around in a whirlpool. Two Turds spinning in the toilet that is POTC 3. I just wish I had pulled the handle to flush the picture after the first hour.
