Pirates 3 is a real heart breaker

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2007)

I will stick to the positives of the movie first. The action sequences, even though there was literally only about twenty minutes of them, were really good. The special effects were amazing, and the cinematography was great too. Johnny Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow was excellent.....accepting the fact that he did what he could with the script. However, that is all that I believed to be worth seeing in this movie. They introduce far too many characters in the movie, who are very minor parts that simply distract you from the main plot, which is very poor to begin with. There is far too much violence to allow this to be good for all the seven year olds, who so loved this series. However, there is far too much MORE juvenile humor for anyone over thirteen to enjoy. Also, not to spoil too much of the movie (should you choose not too follow my advice and go see the movie) Jack Sparrow hallucinates far too much in this movie. As far as I can tell, the writers decided to use this idea for cheap laughs. Their idea did not work. It is confusing, unnecessary, and unwanted. All in all, if you are really a die hard fan of the series and simply must see this movie.....wait until you can rent it at Blockbuster for four bucks. You really do not want to spend ten dollars to see this movie in theaters.
