Lets hope they don't do another one

Rating: 4/10 (7 June 2007)

This movie definitely isn't the worst movie I saw this year ( I save that spot for 300) but it doesn't come close to being the best. I was and still am a huge fan of the original and the second movie. What this movie was lacking was everything good about the first two. It was neither light hearted adventure like the first one nor dark epic action like the second one. It attempted to be epic but fell short of the mark by a long shot. The story was more jumbled up than an 80's hair do and the characters were more confused than barney from andy griffith. I understand Cap'n Jack has been in the undead world for a while but must he go absolutely insane. I like Depp as much as the next person but the old saying too much of a good thing is a bad thing comes to mind when seeing him in about 8 different spots at once. This was the first sign that confusion was about to come my way. The next time I knew confusion was coming was when all the plots that were built up started to fall through the roof. First off, When Chow Yun Fat tells Knightleys character she was the Calypso or whatever she was called, I genuinely became interested in seeing her become the ocean goddess. But that entire story line fell off the deep end when we found out from Barbosa that Miss Cleo was the Maiden of the sea. So I bit into that and was hoping for something amazing to arise from her being brought into true form again. I was sadly disappointed as basically nothing came out of releasing her except to create a vortex in the water. Also I thought the Davy Jones character was played out after the second one and that the father of Blooms character should have had more of an effect on the movie. As the credits started to roll and I jumped out of my seat with glee to be free of that awful movie, I was stunned at being disappointed by a pirates movie. All I can say is, total let down
