Pretty good, but lacking a little bit

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2007)

Having just returned from watching the third installment in The Pirates of the Caribbean, I was a bit disappointed with it. Now, don't get me wrong, it was a great movie, but it was a bit lacking.
The characters were brilliant. Bloom and Knightley were, as usual, perfect in the portrayal of Will and Elizabeth. And Jack, well, he was Jack. Perfect portrayal. Although I would have liked to see much more of Norringtin, personally.
The CGI was even better then Dead Man's Chest. The computer-generated objects look very realistic.
The storyline is where the real lack comes in. Although it was overall well done, I wish they had not killed off the Kraken. It would also have been much better if a huge Tia Dalma/Calypso Had done something other than stand there and yell. Would have been fun to see her and the Kraken involved in a giant monster fight.... But thats just me and my teenage addiction to giant monster fights. I did rather enjoy Will and Elizabeth's "Wedding Ceremony." Once again, the movie could have been better, but it was Very good anyways. Definitely worth buying on DVD.
