Not as good as the two first ones

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2007)

Let's face it... Jack Sparrow is the character who make Pirates of the Caribbean so good. I totally love Jack Sparrow. Ever since the first time I saw him in the second movie, "Dead mans chest", I fell in love with his personality. Jack Sparrow, the slightly deranged person with that immovable self-confidence, making an excellent foundation for extremely funny scenes. You just gotta love him.
That is why I didn't like "At Worlds End". The Jack Sparrow being depicted in it isn't the Jack Sparrow I know. Instead of being that so utterly cool person, "he's" now just weird and, quite frankly, scary - in a bad way. Sure, there are some brilliant ideas being presented in "At Worlds End" with Jack Sparrow, but the scenes in which they are in always tend to be unsatisfying in the end. It's like they're trying to build up something unbelievably funny and add more and more strangeness to the scene, and in the end it really wasn't anything more than just that - strange - resulting in a big "meh?".
And it's just not Jack Sparrow, there are more things. For example, when it came to all the "grandiose" scenes, and when all that powerful music started setting in, it didn't feel right. The music being played wasn't coherent with what I felt about that being displayed on the screen. Instead of being exciting and all that, it was just silly.
There were some good and funny things about this movie here and there, but they were far from frequent enough to weigh up the overall poorness of it. One can only hope that Jack Sparrow will return in yet another movie, to set things right.
