At World's End was a pretty enjoyable POTC film despite having missed the first two

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2007)

Having just seen Knocked Up and Waitress in another theatre earlier in the day, a friend called me up about 15 minutes later at home and proposed seeing one with him. We went back and forth over some titles when he reluctantly picked Knocked Up (he thought I was at work earlier and I didn't tell him I watched some movies and one of his choices, Delta Farce, was in another theatre that wasn't near him). When we arrived at his neighborhood cinema, however, I asked if he enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End the night before with his nephew. He said he did and asked if I was willing to switch to that. I did since I didn't want to see KU again so soon. Now, having not seen the previous two installments and having fallen asleep during some of the movie, I was a little confused at what was going on but by the fight scenes in the final 15 or so minutes, I was genuinely thrilled by many of the action set pieces. As the new pirate king, Keira Knightly delivered a very rousing speech to her new crew. Orlando Bloom certainly proved very sexy and romantic next to her. Seeing multiple Johnny Depps and having a dialogue with his father (and his character's inspiration) Keith Richards provided some of the movie's many amusing moments. I may now have to see the first two POTC films and this one again to really understand what was going on but I must say, I still didn't have a bad time watching this one.
