First off one has to realize that this is a summer action film. Summer action films consist of no plot, to much visual effects, bad dialog, and moments of just pure cheese. Understanding this can make or brake your viewing experience.
This is one of the first summer action films I have enjoyed in a long long time. I don't know why, but for some reason I had a total blast watching this movie, and its strange because I have not been impressed by a summer action film since 1998.
Hans Zimmer's score really stood out. It just worked for me. Even the electric guitar crap worked. The score was my favorite part of the film.
I thought the visual effects looked better then Dead Man's Chest. Though it looks like they had trouble (or did not have time) with some of the compositing. I noticed bad green screen keys every so often.
The Acting was strong overall, even when a character had to give a corn ball speech. Orlando Bloom normally can't act, but I though this was one of his stronger performances. Also the love story worked better then expected, I was worried to would be as retard as the new Star Wars love story. In Pirates however I actually felt some sort of chemistry between the two.
Critics have not been so nice to this franchise, but they forget what type of film this is. Its not art, its great trash! Besides I'm sure not a single critic could direct trash this well. Critics are kind of lame, they attempt to appear intelligent by throwing down big words (all of which the average person wont understand) in abstract and empty points that don't really even apply to the actual viewing experience of the film.
Overall At World's End was great entertainment.
