Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End

Wow! The summer blockbusters are in full effect! Action, Pirates, Great Cast, Pirates, Fun Pirates! Pirates has everything, but doesn't pull punches. You see Davey Jones' locker. The end is unapologetic! Wow! Feels like you are seeing an old family friend!

Now to the movie. First off this is probably the most complex story line of all three movies. I know that is not saying much, but it adds to the film. Keeps it interesting at least. For three hours I did not look at my watch once. Of course I didn't know how long it was until later, but I was stunned at the running time, it felt so fast. This is also the first movie where the bad guy is not a super natural enemy. I think Lord Beckett is a great fiend, but some of the spookiness is lost. I also like all the pirates, including Chow Yung Fat! Awesome! I also like the fun they had within the movie. Keith Richards was used excellently. Their were inside jokes pertaining to the other movies, such as the dog bringing the keys.

What I had the most problems with was the end. The battle between the two main ships was awesome, but the others were not included. It is like the film makers got to two hours and like thirty minutes and said "Crap", we have to end this now! Also Callipso felt added and could have been cut. I wanted the major battle at the end. The last 10 mins felt really rushed and tied up.

That aside. I loved it. I think it should be seen in the theater. It was great fun. Even if I don't agree with everything, I thought it was still the best summer blockbuster so far!!! I especially though Johnny Depp did a great job. I loved the Davey Jones scenes!

Good:
All the great characters.

Bad:
Callipso. Ending to fast. If you didn't care for the other ones, don't bother, but then who the hell are you?

Comments:
Keith Richards is awesome! I loved it. Also stay after the credits. It helps the ending.

Recommendations:
Theater. I think that it has that much eye candy. It is very entertaining. Great Fun! I didn't look at my watch once and I wanted more!
