Highly Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (26 May 2007)

I loved the first "Pirates of the Carribbean" film, it will always be one of my favorite movies of all time, and it's sequel did not disappoint. But "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", is the biggest let down I have ever seen. I kept waiting for "POTC: At Worlds End" to get better, but after the first hour went by I realized this wasn't going to happen and began to wait for it to end, but it seemed that also wasn't going to happen any time soon either as I looked at my watch more and more. The humour and heart put into the first two films is gone, replaced by jokes that are cheap and forced. The only time I genuinely laughed was when Keith Richards made his cameo appearance, but it was 130 minutes too late and then he had left the screen almost as soon as he entered it, as the next hour of extreme boredom began. Orlando Bloom seemed as bored as I was, and I don't blame him as his lines were beyond cringe worthy. Johnny Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow was just a load of recycled crap which came off as annoying, not funny. Even though Johnny, to give him credit, tried to spice it up a little he failed. The movie also seemed to rely completely on CGI during some scenes in a attempt to distract the audience from the awful plot, plus the dialogue was terrible and very confusing, it seemed they were just making it up as they went along, cramming the movie with plot twists and characters becoming traitors for no apparent reason. A lot of the time I didn't even understand what the characters were saying, but I really didn't care.
Overall this was a huge disappointment, and I strongly recommend you don't bother wasting three hours of your life watching this. It's a huge shame, as I once considered myself a "Pirates of the Carribbean" fan. This just goes to show three times is not the charm, 2/10
