Not so good

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2007)

I loved the first of this series, and even enjoyed the second. However, I cannot say that this one did a whole lot for me. Where the first one was written very well, incredibly easy to follow, and one of the best all-around action movies I've seen, the third one was quite the opposite. Written in what seems like a different movie series altogether, this movie makes no sense. You feel as if you have come into the end of the trilogy without seeing the first two, because this movie is almost impossible to follow. They take themselves a bit too seriously, having none of the fun laughs offered by the first two. I did laugh out loud a couple of times, but I'm not sure if that was necessarily a good thing. Jack Sparrow seems to have lost the charisma that the first one had so strongly, and feels almost like a character from Ghost Rider. Although this movie is too long, and progressively gets worse as the hours pass by, the ending does try to save itself. Cool final battle and an entertaining last portion, with some things that make you laugh, I give this movie a 5 star.
