"Sign Me Up." Rousing Conclusion To An Epic Saga. "Hoist The Colours."

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2007)

If you enjoyed "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and the shocking cliffhanger left you wanting to know how it would all end (i.e. would Jack Sparrow be rescued from Davy Jones' Locker, would Elizabeth & Will get married, would the East India Trading Company destroy the free-loving pirate way of life?), THEN THIS IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!!! In spite of the stupid critics complaining that this film was too long, talky & complicated, I think that it was TERRIFIC & NEVER A DULL MOMENT in this swashbuckling, action-packed & epic final (or is it?) installment of the saga of betrayal, love, revenge, and of course, pirates. The special features are a pirate lover's dream. Only one minor complaint: Jerry Bruckheimer said that 20 minutes were cut from the film's original 3 hour length because of time constraints. Only two deleted scenes show up in the special features...and I'm talking about the 2-Disc Limited Edition. Where are the other missing scenes? The "Pirates Of The Caribbean" movies should have been rated PG, as they didn't contain graphic violence, offensive language or sexual content (it's Walt Disney Pictures; they don't do that). Rated PG for action/adventure violence.
