The worst Disney movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 1/10 (31 May 2011)

Pirates 1 was great, Pirates 2 was lousy, Pirates 3 is horrible, in fact practically the only reason why I watched it was cause I wanted to know what happens, and it's terrible. There are so many things wrong with it- there are far too many characters, it is too weird, too long, too tragic, and much too confusing.
One of the worst things about it is the story. For a 300 million dollar movie, surely they could've had a halfway decent story. The way that they bring Jack back from the dead is very very strange, not to mention unrealistic. It's so different from how things work in real life that it hardly even makes any sense. I can see why some people may like it, but I think they're going much too far with supernatural items, especially with the things that the witch woman does, and it's ridiculous what happens to her near the end.
There are too many characters involved, and often too many events going on at once. I often could hardly even keep track of who was on what ship.
Another problem is that it's often hard to tell who's good and who's bad, almost everyone, including Jack qualifies for both. It's awful the way that they constantly betray each other, one minute they're allies, and saving each other, and the next minute they're trying to kill each other. Even with Davy Jones it's sometimes hard to tell who's side he's truly on. It's so confusing.
The action scenes and special effects are phenomenal, I can't deny that at all. The problem is that they're going so extreme with these that they really don't feel exciting anymore, especially now that the characters can come back after dieing, they never should've had Jack die, this ruined everything. There were lots of scenes in the first movie that had me really on edge and excited, but almost none in the 2nd and 3rd. Bigger is not always better, they're going too far.
Not only is the story horrible, but it's also very tragic, starting with Elizabeth's father who is killed early in the movie. Why would they do this? I had really been looking forward to him being restored to power. To make matters worse, he could come back like Jack, but for some reason he refuses. James Norrington also gets killed. He was never really a good character, but he's not someone who should've been eliminated. But by far the worst part of all is what happens to Will Turner. He doesn't actually die, but is made into the next captain of the Flying Dutchman, essentially becoming the next Davy Jones, which means that he can only be on land once every 10 years. And it's not like when Jack died in the second movie in which you know that it's going to change, this is permanent, unless they make another movie that takes place at least 10 years later. WHY WOULD THEY END IT LIKE THIS?
To sum things up- the action and special effects are extremely impressive, but rather pointless, and the story is horrible. The first movie was good, and usually I really like sequels, but these are getting worse every time. I now have virtually no interest in the 4th.
