At Cinema's end...

Rating: 2/10 (30 May 2007)

Right, POC: COTBP... in my view, one of the most genuinely entertaining movies around...
The second one... just filler, the whole movie was about getting from the first one to the second... But I help onto hope... It must of been leading to a final episode really worth seeing... I was mislead...
I only gave this film 2 stars because the special effects were pretty awesome, and some of the cinematography actually pretty good!
However...
It was massively over indulgent! Focuses far more on what it thought people wanted to see, than any real plot! Far too self aware! (I know I'm personifying this film, but it was EVIL!)
Right, Pirates of the CARIBBEAN, Where shall we set it? OH! ASIA!
The plot made absolutely no sense, about 4 different stories would be entwining at once, bu so completely unrelated and mostly pointless...IT HURT!
I feel sorry for any children who went to see this film and came away with a migraine...
Jack Sparrow was there as filler only... His whole going crazy hallucinating thing...just plain tacky...
This whole thing based itself around "The Pirate lords!" WHAT THE HELL!? and their 9 pieces of Eight... This is seriously getting into LOTR territory... Pirates were pirates! Over glamorised seaborne thieves...And we all love them...BUT at no point do I buy "The pirate court" thing...and oh, lets get even more like LOTR...A Pirate king!
Everyone had a Father in the bloody film! Strentchign the plot even further...
That whole Calypso thing? Calypso is sodding Greek Mythology... And now you're telling me that pirates worshiped her! Oh and whats gonna make this film even more appealing...yeah thats right GIANTS! Calypso the Giant pirate goddess...
The flying dutchman issue still does my head in...It's so inaccurate it hurts...
Biggest point yet though... The whole film centred around Beckett executing all pirates, and those associated with pirates...Trying to wipe them out...So the Pirates fight back united!
Wait a minute!
Piracy is outlawed ANYWAY, those associated with pirates are executed ANYWAY!
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!
Rant over..
