Entertaining, But Not A Great Film.

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2007)

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End was all in all a highly entertaining film. From the beginning we are thrown into interesting confrontions, progressing to some decent early battle scenes'. Also, from the outset we had elements of humour put into the film, which I thought made it all the more entertaining. As the film progressed though, I found that it was ultimately covering a lot of the same ground that the two previous films had.
I would definitely say that this part of the Pirates saga was, overall, a success (I enjoyed this more than Dead Man's Chest but not as much as the original, as I feel that the Curse Of The Black Pearl is still by far the most superior of the three). There also looks like there will be another which I will most probably go and see, and hope to be up to the standard of this one.
However, for me these sequels have lost the depth to be called 'great films'. On the surface they are entertaining, funny, and can be watched across the board by almost anyone. But when I finished watching this film it didn't leave me with any lasting feeling. These types' of films are what I like to call 'Fast Food Films'. What I mean by this is that when you go to a film like this you know exactly what your getting. It stays with you whilst your watching it and then as soon as you've finished it you don't think about it again, because ultimately there's nothing really to think about. Very similar to a fast food restaurant, you eat, your fairly satisfied and then you leave.
To conclude, I have given this a 7/10. It was entertaining and I will go and see the next installment of Pirates, this is not that great a film.
