Pirates of the Caribbean: Should End

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2007)

I must say I was disappointed with this film. The first instalment of the trilogy was amazing, Johnny Depp creating a character that was so lovable and appealing to all ages made the film the most talked about for a while. The 2nd film while still entertaining mainly due to Johnny Depp was long winded and took so long to entertain, that you were no longer interested after an hour. The third film unfortunately not even Jack Sparrow could save. Orlando Bloom succeeded in being more annoying and amateur like than the first movie. A fête which I thought was near impossible for any one actor to accomplish. Keira Knightley again did nothing but make me want to get up and vacate the cinema every time she appeared on screen. The film although mildly entertaining if stood alone seems to have departed so much from the first movie that you could easily assume that the trilogy had nothing in common except the use of the same characters. The Curse of the Black Pearl managed to encapsulate all that people would associate with pirates and bring all the ideas together. Resulting in a film that was entertaining, funny and wrongly or rightly had you rooting for the triumph of the pirates. In my opinion the two latter instalments achieved nothing but disappointment. Hopefully now this will be the end and I can try my hardest to gain back the hours of life I have wasted by watching this movie.
