DISNEY - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 3:
AT WORLD'S END(2007)
And the third, really was the least of the four entries in the
series!!!! An ok tale but seems a little tired. Still though with
a great cast and the cinematography again was awesome!
As with all series movies, a must see!! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com
And so it is proved, once again, that making a good trilogy
isn't easy.
Sure, they did a good job in further repeating the now already
'typical pirates humor', portraying Sparrow as the somewhat
clumsy yet always charming captain and, well, once again Keira
was there to please the male eye. All of this probably because
they hoped that this way we wouldn't notice that pirates III
actually has... well... no story to it.
The same thing we saw happening with The Matrix: first movie
is new, original and has a little something for everyone, in the
second one they re-use the story, but add just a little twist and
cover it all up with good visual effects. And come the third one,
they've got no story left to tell and set the bar so high for themselves
it's nearly impossible to reach it anymore, so they just fall back
on the old reliable 'success of the other two movies'.
One thing I actually did like were the visual effects, and the
amount of detail found in every single scene. That obviously
took a lot of time and effort. Too bad that after seeing an army
of undead pirates walking on the bottom of the ocean in the
first movie, and a whole crew of half-man-half-sea-creatures
in the second one, expectations were so high I was bound to
being disappointed.
Yeah, nice locations too, again very detailed and everything,
but I'm almost sorry I even noticed that, for my intentions were
actually to follow the story (you know, tie all those loose ends
Pirates I and II left us with) but all I heard coming out of the actor's
mouths was "blablabla *insert typical Jack Sparrow quote here*
blabla" As for the action scenes I can be quite brief: the first two
movies they almost had me believing it just might even be possible
(the three-man-fight on the big wheel in Pirates II not included),
but this time they obviously got carried away. Even a child who
'wants to be a pirate when he grows up, just like captain Sparrow'
will go out to find a more credible role model after seeing this
movie.
All in all, I rated the movie 5 out of 10. They put a lot of work
into the visual aspect of it all, but failed to live up to all the rest
of my expectations. - X_Gravity_Girl_X
