The best ending to a magnificent franchise

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2007)

This was seriously the highlight of the movies this year. And it met all expectations. I have to say firstly that the second one wasn't that great but when you watch the third Pirates, you realize why. Everything is explained, every knot is tied and there's even that spark and charm that was loved in the Curse of the Black Pearl. Usually the third movies aren't very good endings. But this was the best ending you could probably ever get.
It was fantastic graphic wise. The scene with the crabs and Calypso was extremely realistic and the arrival of all of the East India Trading Companies' fleet was jaw-dropping. The storm and the maelstrom was amazing as well. Not just the CGI, the fight scenes were filled with excitement and were long but not tedious. And the settings were amazing. Absolute wonder for the eyes.
The plot was also brilliant. It wasn't too complicated and everything said and done had a reason. It also contained lots of action scenes so the storyline remained interesting. In addition to that, there was enough romance scenes and Will/Elizabeth fans, rejoice :D The ending is bittersweet but at least it's not cheesy. And also, not too many new characters join the Pirates crew but those who do are integrated into the storyline very well without being random or annoying.
However, if you don't like watching 3 hour movies, you won't like Pirates. It can be tedious but I enjoyed every minute of it. Also, there isn't as much of Jack's charm as the first movie but he was still the wonderful Captain Jack Sparrow. And Will Turner and Elizabeth were just the cutest couple. There is a bit of action movie cheesiness but you'll ignore that, cause it was really funny :D I am definitely getting the whole box-set for Pirates of the Caribbean.
