Absolutely terrible

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 2011)

After some time of consideration, I finally decided to rent the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and have a nice, quiet movie marathon with my girl. It started out great, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was hilarious with a decent plot and so was Dead Man's Chest. However, when we got to the third part, it was just.... awful.
First off, the jokes in At World's End were apparently not written by the same people who made the first two movies. Or the company changed its policy of drinking booze at work. They were old and terrible, and rarely a thing made me laugh. Marriage on the boat in the middle of a supposedly epic battle? Oh gimme a break...
Secondly, the plot was as dumb as the jokes. Barbossa somehow managed to cheat death (again) and they went to rescue Jack. Okay, cool. But the Kraken? The godlike creature which sunk more than a dozen of ships in Dead Man's Chest, is now shown for about 2 minutes total in the entire movie? Dead??! What the hell guys! The blasted thing killed Jack, it was a creature to fear of.... and here it is, lying on the beach... dead. Way to go. Not to mention the huge number of actors and the whole "pieces of eight" mumbo jumbo. Seriously, you could have done it better. Way better.
Thirdly, and the most annoying thing in the entire movie -- Keira Knightley. Whoever said she would be best playing a captain and king of the pirates, should be fired immediately. Whenever she spoke, I got goose bumps at her facial expressions. Whenever she yelled, I wanted to tear off my ears as to prevent my head from exploding of loud frequencies. That girl doesn't shout... she SCREAMS! She screams so bloody loud and at such an annoying pitch, it's just.... OH MY GOD!!! And when she gave that "inspirational" speech before the final battle between the British and the pirates, we just skipped the whole part because it was already enough seeing that snobbish, spoiled and loud mouth of a face for the past 60 minutes. I'm really really REALLY glad you didn't include her in On Stranger's Tides. At least Penelope Cruz's voice is not as screechy as Keira's.
I'd recommend you guys watch the first, second and fourth parts of the movie. Definitely avoid this one because you will only go to bed with a large headache at the amateurism it has to offer.
