Is this really the final installment??

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2008)

I found the movie a bit long, at well over 2 hours, but upon reflection I don't know how it could have been shortened much. It tells several stories in sequence so, if you aren't tired and sleepy, goes by rather briskly.
Johnny Depp is of course back as Captain Jack Sparrow, and he and his crew, once he gets a ship, must sail to the edge of the world. Who knew? We had been convinced that the world is a sphere!
Geoffrey Rush in my mind steals the whole movie as the entertaining Captain Barbossa. Orlando Bloom is back as Will Turner, and Keira Knightley gets her chance to be a ship captain as Elizabeth Swann.
The best makeup job is on Bill Nighy, excellent as Davy Jones. Being dead, and in charge of Davy Jones' Locker, his face has taken on the appearance of a small Octopus, with tentacles of various sizes sticking out here and there.
The last 30 to 40 minutes is spectacular, with ships chasing each other about a giant whirlpool in the sea, and firing off canons.
SPOILERS. In a funny scene, Will decides to propose to Elizabeth, during a big sword fight aboard the ships. They manage to get the captain to marry then as they are fighting. But Will is destined to die and spend his 10 years in the deep, his heart locked in the trunk, and Elizabeth will have to wait for him.
