A film about committee meetings

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2007)

A pirate movie is supposed to be about sword fights and swashbuckling not committee meetings. The movie gets bogged down in dialogue as each of the main characters conspires with allies and enemies. Cast your mind back to POTC1 - conversations were carried on DURING well choreographed sword fights. This combination of action and advancing the story is sadly missing in POTC3. The result is dull beyond measure. Even Jack's wit and wisdom has lost it's edge. What you get for your money is 1 sword fight, 1 good battle and effects that we've seen before i.e. not special. I really hoped this movie would be better than Spiderman3 - unfortunately they have failed in every area.
