Random Movie

Rating: 2/10 (26 May 2007)

I can't remember the last time I commented on a movie. This one needs a comment.
This is one of the most random movies I have ever seen. I was a fan of the first two Pirates movies, but this one is a miserable failure. It is far too long, fails to hold your interest, fails to make any sense, fails to keep characters in character, and fails to have any sort of cohesiveness. It is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it is near the bottom of the list.
The best moment came when my wife and I looked at each other about 2 hours in and wondered if it would ever be over. Just then Keira Knightley looked right at the camera and said, "it's not over."
Only two things help save this film: Hans Zimmer is a tremendous composer, and Keira Knightley is beautiful (and my wife thinks Orlando Bloom is hot).
Bottom line: Save yourself the money. Buy the soundtrack on CD, and if you must watch the movie, wait until your friend rents it on DVD.
