Too much spent on CGI, not enough spent on script

Rating: 6/10 (25 May 2007)

The Good: Great CGI, Good looking cast, one or two jokes that work, Jack Sparrow The Bad: The script: Crap excuse for romance, nonsensical battle tactics, lame jokes, too much Jack Sparrow (you'll see what I mean) If you are thinking At World's End is going to be as good as if not better than the previous 2, think again. Firstly, they came up with the idea based on a ride in a theme park... There wasn't much material to begin with, so they padded it, and then the scriptwriters got confused. Secondly, they've been stretching the length of the movies, now it's almost 3 hours long. This leads me to my advice on the show: Don't drink too much water before viewing (for obvious reasons) and get plenty of rest the night before. I say that because the guy next to me actually fell asleep and started to snore midway through the movie.
It starts with a bang, slows in the middle and gets ridiculous at the end. If you like your movies without a shred of realism, watch this. If you look for plot, look elsewhere. Part 1 was good, 2 left me wanting more, 3 killed the franchise for me. Let's just hope Disney doesn't produce Part 4. I didn't hate it because on the whole it is still an average movie, just that with all the other choices around, you may want to rent the DVD instead.
