Verbose... Confusing

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2007)

Special Effects, Johny Depp's style are undeniably a pleasure to watch.
The story line itself is very verbose. There are too many background stories of too many characters that does not link well or lead to the final conclusion or theme of the movie. The other problem with the short stories was that they were too emotional and lacked the pirate spark.
I would still rate the 1st of the trilogy (so far) as the best and would recommend to not go for the fourth merely for sake of it. The characters and the brand are in place, just think of a good story and execute it in style.
