If there was a film made entirely for money..

Rating: 3/10 (15 November 2008)

Then this was it. I enjoyed the first film in this series, and found it quite refreshing. It gave an excellent insight into the pirating world and the performances were excellent. The second one was when it all started to go downhill, and I didn't bother to see the third one until some of my friends rented it on DVD.
Firstly, I felt that the film seemed to be completely crammed with pointless story lines..what was with the goddess? For a good hour or so I was sat, wondering what was going to be made of the whole goddess thing, and I was so disappointed when she exploded into crabs. How much did it cost in visual effects? Because it wasn't worth it and it didn't make much sense to me. Even Jack Sparrow was becoming slightly repetitive, it was as if the writers thought "hmmm, people like Jack, so lets recycle the last two film's of Jack!"
As the film continued I just felt bored and uninterested, but I did have a nice night in with my friends, so yeah.
I have given this film 3/10 because the acting wasn't too bad, the visual effects were good and i didn't have an awful night..so yes. I just think that the pirate films have been stretched too far, and are manufactured entirely for money, which is a shame because they did have a lot of potential.
