"Worlds End " Is Laughable, Ridiculous

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2007)

Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer went WAY over the top in the finale of this mega hit trilogy to the point that once the nearly three-hour-long strangefest is finally over, you walk out of the theater going "what the heck was that all about?!"
Continuing the story left in "Dead Man's Chest," Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma and the gang go to the World's End to free Jack from Davy Jones' locker. In the meantime, the East India Trading Company is using the Flying Dutchman and Jones as their weapon, with Jones' crew at Trading Company commandeer Cutler Beckett's mercy since Beckett holds Jones' heart as ransom. Before rescuing Jack, Barbossa goes to Singapore to convince Chinese captain Sao Feng to ally with the eight other Pirate Lords in order to release the mysterious Calypso from her human bonds in the lords' quest to find assistance in battling the Trading Company and the Flying Dutchman.
"Dead Man's Chest" had enough digestible supernatural elements to accept, but the supernaturalness in this one you'll throw right back up, because it's so ridiculously weird. For example, a woman grows to over 200 feet tall; she is actually the goddess of the sea; she conjures what many would say is a completely over-the-top maelstrom; the giantess turns into thousands of crabs out of nowhere; crabs carry the Black Pearl across sand; Jack Sparrow is split into hundreds of Jack Sparrow; the ship mysteriously gets turned over into the sea to keep the day from expiring. Dumb, dumb, dumb! The characters and story is incredibly inconsistent, a product of a horribly written script. Don't be surprised to be disappointed by how it ends, both with the futures of Will and Elizabeth and Jack. It is clear that scriptwriters Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio had no more ideas and were plucking random, ridiculous things out of the air.
If you want to be weirded out, by all means go. But if you want a sensible while at the same time exciting adventure, go to something else.
