Completely Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2007)

I didn't think this movie was actually going to be all that good. Seeing as the second one was all a set up for the third, i thought they'd try to make it super flashy and all but have it totally disappoint.
Jack, oh Jack, was marvelous as ever. Then again, it's hard to expect him to disappoint. This was my favorite movie for Keira Knightly/Elizabeth. Elizabeth's character develops really well in my opinion, and I think Keira steps up and plays it really well. Will Turner gets a lot more... dark i guess, and despite my dislike for (most of) Orlando Bloom's acting, he did pretty well. Barbosa's return was definitely a benefactor.
As for the plot, i still don't think it tops the first, but it does comes pretty close. From where they left off in the second movie: -Lord Beckett has Davy Jones heart and is using it to help get rid of all the pirates. Norrington has been appointed Admiral. -Barbosa, Elizabeth, Will, and the rest of the crew are in Singapore, requesting the help of Captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) to retrieve Jack -who is hallucinating his life away in Davy Jones Locker
From this, we add the 9 pirate lords, Will's promise to free his father from Davy Jones, Jack's fixation with immortality, and one pretty amazing final battle.
Still not quite as good as the first in terms of plot, but very close. However, At World's End is definitely the funniest.
Oh yes, and STAY AFTER THE CREDITS. They're kind of long, but if you feel like Will and Elizabeth's ending wasn't good enough, you should definitely watch it.
