One question

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2007)

Captain Barbossa (Rush), Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) and Will Turner (Bloom) go to Singapore to get a crew and a ship but more importantly, to get the map that will lead them to Davy Jones Locker to rescue Jack Sparrow so the Bretheren Court can meet. The Bretheren Court is a court made up of the nine lords from all around the world fighting for pirates good will and freedom and Jack is one of the nine. But trouble is on the way, Lord Cutler Beckett (Hollander) along with his army are turning the pirates against each other and forcing them to surrender or fight, while Davy Jones (Nighy) is looking for something more.
The film has an amazing story line with beautiful and breathtaking sequences including underwater shots. The characters have been developed in the last two movies and are now able to show what they are capable of. Captain Jack Sparrow is still the same witty character but slightly more manic after being trapped in Davy Jones Locker. Will Turner seems to have something else on his mind. He wants Elizabeth but there might be drastic consequences. Elizabeth Swann doesn't seem to have much of a purpose until a change of events put her in charge. But the flirtation between Jack and Elizabeth is not hinted at which I think is a good thing, as it would distract from the main storyline. The movie manages to fit in humour, adventure, action, romance, drama and so much more. The movie starts off I little slowly but it is needed to explain the rest of it. Even with the slightly slow start this film takes you on a wild adventure that doesn't stop until the credits are rolling. The movie is somewhat darker than the first two but it has to be as what kind of epic battle that determines the fate of pirates everywhere is light hearted. Overall the 168 minutes of high seas adventure is one well spent but make sure you stay after the credits for an extra scene. I just have one question. What mark did Jack leave on Beckett???
