too much filler, too long

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2007)

This was the first of the 3 pirate films I saw at the theater and it was a major disappointment. The first film was great and I thought the second film was very entertaining, although the creativeness from the first film had worn off. But this film was just too long and the plot drawn out to much. It had too many supernatural elements. The writers just made stuff up as they went along to try to solve the plot development. And the Kraken made one appearance, dead on the beach, and the film never said what happened.
Since this was the third film, most of the jokes that were very funny from the first film, fell flat. Also with the long running time made this movie not as entertaining.
The special effects were good just like in the first two.
FINAL VERDICT: I'd definitely wait to watch this at home where you can stop it several times to get up. I'd only recommend it if you really want to know how everything ends for Captain Jack Sparrow.
