Tedious - enough already!

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2007)

This is one Pirates movie too many. If it were not for Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush I'd be gone in a flash. The story is too pathetic to go into - in fact there may not have been a story. The pouty Keira Knightly makes me want to slap her, Orlando Bloom should be cast into bronze and put on the bed stand of teenage girls - then the rest of us will be spared his meaningless roles in films. The bad guy is a caricature, the rest of the cast is flailing to create some kind of impact. The special effects are good, but this film fails to engage one and is a meaningless caper. My plea to Johnny Depp - enough with the cashing in - please go back to meaningful cinema and leave this kind of drivel to other lesser actors!
