Disappointed Depp Fan

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2007)

Let me first say that I have always been a Johnny Depp fan. Loved him in Edward Scissorhands, Chocolat and, of course, POTC 1. (Not in Fear and Loathing, but it's hard to blame him for that mess.) And, who doesn't like Keira Knightley? Unfortunately, POTC 3 is exactly the same as POTC 2 which is exactly the same as POTC 1. After a while, the same ole' half-drunken, slurry swagger just gets tiresome. Any Depp scene in this movie is interchangeable with any other.
This movie goes on for much too long. (Think "Far From the Madding Crowd".) And, I can only speak for the part that I didn't sleep through. I'm glad that I woke up because the special effects near the end were awesome.
Overall, POTC 2 and 3 lack any creativity and exist only to milk the franchise. Thankfully, POTC 4 should be out of the question and the great talent in this movie can go on to more entertaining fare.
