Disgustingly bad

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2007)

It's disgusting how the makers of this film milked the fans for so much money and provided a substandard job. The first film was the best one I had ever seen with a nice grounding in historical realism but then the awesome supernatural parts. I enjoyed the second one too, not as much, but this was really bad. The writers seemed like they had been reading too much fan fiction. Chow-Yun Fat was brought in, prominently advertised, and then barely used. Strange, unbelievable ideas (a pirate brethren? wtf?) were brought into play just to fix up plot points, in fact most characters and parts were just brought into play to fix up plot points which had been created earlier and suddenly needed to be resolved. I had been expecting a happy ending and it wasn't as I thought, but that ended up leaving me disappointing. And it was too long.
