A daily from Midget Emma: Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End (2007)

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2008)

As far as i am concerned the Pirates of the Caribbean movies should have stopped at the first installment. But since it was successful there was no doubt there would be sequels. Thats not to say that the sequels weren't good.
Ever since Lord of the Rings it seems that every third film has be the longest. Pirates has followed. Running at a unnecessary 168 minutes. The whole Pirates politics bothered me. It made the pirates seem less dangerous. The movie could have done with a few scenes being cut.
Again Johnny Depp stole the whole show. Without him this would be a 2/10 film. His hallucination scenes were hilarious. Also there wasn't a person who wasn't laughing when he had his scenes with Geoffrey Rush.
A strong weakness in this movie is the Elizabeth and Will storyline. It drags and drags and are not believable as a couple at all.
Curse of the black pearl is still #1. With Worlds End coming in 2nd place.
The Ending was done pretty damn well. With a final fight that will definitely get you sitting up in your seat.
The visual effects were top notch. I have to give mention to how realistic Davy Jones looked.
I recommend it if you have seen the first two movies. It had it highs and it had its lows but this is still a satisfying movie.
7/10
