oh dear!

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2007)

I had looked forward this this movie for sometime but found that despite a number of good performances from all concerned, the plot left the movie for long periods 'rudderless'. Depp, Bloom etc all played along and the action scenes when they came were very good especially the final battle, but there was too much dialogue, too many double crossing and double double crossing that I got confused who was on whose side, as a result I lost concentration and therefore enjoyment in what had been a enjoyable series of movies up until this film. Special mention should go to Keith Richards for his cameo and Tom Hollander for his British stiff upper lip when his world fell apart and in terms of all of the cast they didn't let the movie down nor the special effects but script writers should keep the story simple. if there is to a fourth lets hope that the story is kept simple.
