very unfortunate

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2007)

I went into this movie expecting not much better than the second film, and I got exactly that.
Like most comments have stated already, the visuals were absolutely stunning and obviously were carefully executed into production. Also, the cinematography offered a variety of angles which truly showed off the artistic value of the film.
Although I loved the music in the first film it seems they repeated most of the soundtrack in the third pirates. I understand theme songs for characters but it simply got repetitive.
In addition, it is obvious that the writers were pushed for a story that was getting thin quickly in a very short amount of time. This combination is very unhealthy for an already diseased plot from the second pirates. A lot of unnecessary scenes were written into the storyline for the sake of humor which made them awkward (not to say that i did not laugh at some of them). Unlike the first pirates which was so well integrated with humor and action and story, At World's End gave the same humor repeated without the seamlessness.
Even a few characters (which i will not mention to avoid spoiling) were given scenes (and a place in the movie) which was completely pointless and led to nothing but a dead end.
Conclusion: Fantastic visuals, like always good acting,
Same soundtrack, same humor,most importantly--thin and unenlightening plot. (something i do not think Hollywood should get away with too often)
