Abysmal. Appalling. Atrocious. Awful. And that's just the "A"s...

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2006)

This is clearly a movie that was made by the Disney Marketing Department. You first get that feeling at the beginning of the DVD when you're shown trailer after trailer after trailer for *OTHER MOVIES*. Is this one so bad that even the producers of the DVD are loathe to get to it?
In a word: yes.
There is no plot to speak of. There is no character development. (In fact, most of the characters have gone far retrograde since the first episode, and they continue to devolve throughout this episode.) There *IS* a lot of action, and as action movie action goes, it's pretty well-done. And its for that reason alone that I'm giving this movie a "2" rather than the "1" (0, -1, etc.) that it really deserves.
The worst insult is that after you've wasted your time watching this tediously-long movie, you find out it's just *HALF A MOVIE*, ending in a cliff hanger so Disney can sell you "Pirates of the Caribbean Three: The Hunt for Even More of Your Treasure." Save your money and save your time: skip this movie.
