Three times is a charm

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2007)

This movie will have you wishing that you were a pirate. This one in a way reminds you og the first movie in that it remains exciting from start to finish and never misses a beat. I loved that Barbossa returned at the end of the second movie and was a huge part of this one because I felt he was the epitome of a pirate (no offense to Jack Sparrow) as he was barking orders fighting muliple enemies i thought that only he came close to Davey Jones (in the climatic battle between the Black Pearl and the Flyind Dutchman in the whirlpool, which i thought was the best idea for a climax overall, as the two ships are descending into the whirlpool Barbossa says "It would be far too late for us to alter course now maetys!" and then laughs his trademark laugh to me summed up the movie in all). Only thing that I thought was a drag was the concept of Davey Jones LOcker as it was just an isolated island instead of a heavily guarded prison which was guarded by dead pirates or possibly Davey Jones himself (before I saw this movie that confused me how the Locker was some far off place and yet Davey Jones sailed around the seas forver). one thing that tripped me out the first time I saw it was when Beckett had Royal Navy soldiers stationed on the Flying Dutchman and the thought of soldiers on the same ship as the undead or "fishpeople" as one soldier in the movie implied (i still get a laugh out of that scene when the troops first arrive on the ship and one soldier trembles at the sight of Davey Jones' crew and Norrington walks up to him and says "Easy now!"- how can you possibly remain calm when you're standing next to something that's not human). But overall I thought all of the chatacters did a good job except for Will (he complained too much and tried to be too much like Jack, in my opinion instead of Jones killing him I thought someone should have made him walk the plank because no one needed him for anything, Elizabeth didn't even need him!) and Gibbs (who I though went out like Jack's flunky), I thought it was funny how the Governor died as he was sailing to the LOcker as the crew was sailing from it, Norrington as well as he tried to be a semi-hero (too bad he was on the wrong ship!) and Jones got bad break by getting killed which was unfortunate since he was the villain.
