This movie had great, GREAT potential. An awesome plot, gone to waste.

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2007)

OK, let me start off by saying I'm a huge pirates fan. The first movie was spectacular, and the second one was just alright. Not too bad, but not too good. On a one to ten scale, I gave the first movie a 9 and the second an 8.
I just came back from seeing this, and must say I am disappointed. Pirates has a SOLID plot line. Very interesting, and fun to follow. But the movie was WAYY too long. There were scenes that were unnecessary, that could have been cut to fix this, but no, they kept them.
Honestly, I think potc 3 was done lazily. Plus, they made a fool of jack. The jokes were dumb, not funny at all. Pure laziness. They missed adding in the pirate factor we love, and rushed things since they knew it'd be killer at the box office.
I'm very disappointed. This had great potential...and it flopped. The beginning was solid, and the end was spectacular, but some parts in the middle made me want to fall asleep.
6/10.
