What can I say......

Rating: 4/10 (11 December 2011)

Will keep this brief as just about everyone jumps in for a complete film summary. So, the first film, brilliant, the second, OK it is a sequel and as such very watchable, the third should have been the last, they made a good trilogy....
First things, only two scenes worthy of recognition, the 'escape from the king' and the 'mermaid' scenes, reminiscent of the earlier films, great fun. The rest, limp wristed, failing to deliver on many levels and to add an extra dimension of failure about 80% of the film seems to be filmed in the dark. So all that fab scenery and great costume and effects were by and large wasted.
So not good, not memorable and very very lacklustre.... The performances from Depp, Cruz, McShane and Mr Rush, wasted by a second rate script and weak story, pity as they are without doubt talented. Fingers crossed they do not stretch the elastic on this one, please no more....
