Just one question: why the hell did they bring Tim Story back??? WHY???

The script was lame and lacked drama. So it would follow that the acting also suffered… severely.

The directing was horrendous. The word hodge-podge comes to mind. A palpable sense of coherence was terribly missing. The first film was way better.

The effects were okay. I was half-disappointed I watched this film. The other half… was REALLY SORRY I watched this.

YOU GUYS FROM FOX NEVER LEARN!

YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE A MESS OUT OF YOUR TENT-POLE FRANCHISES!

Come on!!!

It was better than The Curse of the Black Pearl but second only to Dead Man’s Chest. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End has all the elements that made the first and second parts of the series fun to watch.

There is no questioning the presence of excitement in this movie — it is there! Action is almost nonstop and the visuals were just as awesome as ever. And that Johnny Depp! Still as impeccable with his acting.

But I think the film suffered from too much exposition. There was just too many things they were trying to explain, that, in some parts, I felt like sitting through a Chemistry class with the teacher lecturing on covalent ionic bonds and with me losing concentration because I hadn’t studied and didn’t get much sleep the night before. There was just too many connections that weren’t… connected.

Still, At World’s End was a fun summer movie. And although this review is quite late, it think it will still serve its purpose of letting people know that not all summer blockbusters have to be too intellectual to be enjoyable.
