Movie Reviews of Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Ey Mates, The Rum Is Gone (4.5 stars)
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, the Pirates trilogy comes to an end in the last installment. We have the finishing of several storylines, conclusions to certain characters, and a new story that may or may not come about (we'll ahve to wait for the next movie).
The movie is in two acts, with the first being the saving of Capt. Sparrow from Davey Jones' Locker (sort of a purgatory for pirates and people of the sea). Then, shifting to act two, in which the remaining pirates across the globe fight for the sea in a epic battle.
With that said, one could only imagine how much goes on in this film. As a fan of the movies, I have to say that a little too muhc is going one. So much in fact, we lose the richness and depth of the characters we've grown to love, and are forced to learn and care about new characters who die just as soon as they are introduced. Again, as a fan, I feel that the writers and director opted to put all the ideas they'd had brewing from jump into this movie. It sort of pans out well, but again, you lose some of the value in the story and character development.
The major flaw of this movie lies in the execution, the tieing up of storyline. In the first act, things are running smoothly, and you allow yourself to be taken in by the introduction of the Brethern Court, adn the task to sev Capt. Sparrow. However, in the second act, one gets lost in the Calypso myth, the gathering of the Brethern Court, Will and Elizabeth's love, the East India Trading Co.'s tyranny, etc. Get my drift. You just get bogged down to the point where you are trying to keep up with everyone and everyone's motives and stories. To the point of exhaustion.
The positive thing about the movie is the action. Not as non-stop as parts 1 and 2, but still there all the same. The epic battle in the end, the swashbuckling throughout--all are fun and worthwhile. One sees just how much money this project wsa given, and they seems to know how to use it.
While I love the movie, and rejoining the main characters in their quest. I must say that the busyness of the movie sort of keeeps the audience disconnected. Still, worth 4.5 stars jsut ebcuase I understand that this is the thrid movie, and if you know anything about trilogies--the thrid one has the most weight, and the most to do in terms of conclusion and tying things up.
Summary of Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End (Widescreen Edition)
Just when he s needed most Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) that witty and wily charmer of a pirate is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack s the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates way of life. From exotic Singapore to World s End and beyond from Shipwreck Island to a titanic battle this adventure s filled with over-the-edge action irreverent humor and seafaring myth and magic. Everything has led to this twisting turning wild swashbuckling ride in this final chapter of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogyFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE UPC: 786936292992 Manufacturer No: 4099003Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines ; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece."!
In the previous Dead Man's Chest, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley
