They spent 300 million on this ?

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2011)

I don't see anything more remarkable about this movie compared to the first Pirates of The Caribbean, so I fail to see why the thang cost so much to make. Originally based on the Disney's ride by the same name, this movie franchise became lot more successful than its namesake amusement ride.
The story seems to jump from the Dead Man's Chest. There's this alliances that's formed between Davy Jones, and Lord Beckett - what ? A strait man and a ghost forming alliance ? Kraken is dead, for no good reason. Jack Sparrow is in the nether land, but come back to life with all his flesh and bones glory. Capt. Barbossa also comes back to life for no apparent reason. This story is a veritable free for all in taking artistic license with its own material.
When the story is so poorly disciplined, we lose focus, and start to care less about what happens. Because anything can happen by miracle in this story.
The first Pirates of Caribbean was good, second was okay, but this one - I'm not sure - maybe so so ? It does maintain fun element that runs through this series, and that IMO is the best part of this movie.
