Low point of a excellent series.

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2008)

I am a big fan of the first two movies but the third is just a mess. The characters have been neutered, except for Elizabeth and the plot never really seems to know where it's going or even what it's doing in the present. Instead of high adventure we get a story that plays out like the actors all got together and wrote it by committee. The movie does have it's high points, most of which revolve around Jack Sparrow but unfortunately, Depp is lost in the maelstrom of the plot. The ending is silly and in my mind, Lord Beckett's behavior is contrary to his nature. If they do make a fourth film, hopefully they keep Jack and Barbosa and drop most of the rest.
