Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Ok I’m guilty. I said that I wasn’t going to see Pirates in the theater, and I did so anyway. So regardless of my sins, Pirates is a step up from Dead Man’s Chest, but still pales in comparison to the original Curse of the Black Pearl.
At World's End is way, way, way too long…90 minutes too long. The excruciatingly long running time makes the overly complicated plot completely incoherent that it becomes a futile process to actually try to follow along with the story. Not like much of the plot matter. Things happen and never develop, or are said that later have no importance. So why put forth the effort?
But this film still lacked the wit and cleverness of the first film. Yes it’s much better than the first one, there was at least an attempt and the old Jack Sparrow that we have come to know and love, but still not close enough. I wonder how the same writers came up with that first screen play in the first place.
But alas for all the bad things about this film, the one good part of this film was the end battle scene which was one of the most dramatic sea battles ever filmed.
