Pirates 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

Decent Movie, Disappointing dvd
I am a huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean and absolutely adore the first two movies. There was much anticipation about the third film and we all had our expectations. Segments of it work very well, but in this case, the whole is not greater than the sum of the parts.
The familiar "He's a Pirate" theme is replaced with darker music remniscent of a biker movie, and that's okay. The setting has changed from the Caribbean to the more exotic Singapore, and that would have been okay too...if it had not taken up almost all of the first half hour of the film. Even the traditional Hollywood ending of the first movie and the cliffhanger ending of the second movie have been replaced, this time by an open-ended ending that is not really a conclusion of any kind. Those who are fans of the traditional pairing of Will and Elizabeth will be disappointed, and those who wished to see Elizabeth change her mind and succumb to her attraction to Jack Sparrow will see her kiss just about every man in the series except him. So no one will be a hundred percent pleased.
Characterization takes a strange turn on more than one occasion. Davy Jones, a pivotal character in the second film, loses much of his mystique and danger. Maybe they had him cry one too many times, but he appears far less menacing until right at the end. Norrington, who was becoming more and more intriguing, is more like an afterthought in this part of the saga, and Will and Elizabeth barely speak to each other until the director whispered to them that they are supposed to make up in this "last" installment.
The movie really relies more on comedy than the other two since the climax is so dark and I stopped keeping track of the body count after the first hour. Even Davy Jones' Locker, which is supposed to be like pirate hell/purgatory, seems too frosted with comedy. So much could have been done to really get into Jack's psyche, but we see so little of it. It is too well hidden by the multiple Jacks and multiple crabs.
The dvd itself doesn't offer much and I was disappointed I wouldn't get to hear the entertaining and insightful commentary of the writers, who did commentary on the first two movies. There is a blooper reel which mainly showcases Johnny Depp, and that's about it. I know there is a special edition out there, but if you like the special features that tell you HOW the movie was made and why certain decisions were made, this is not the dvd for you.
However, it is a good movie, full of wonderful scenes like "parlay" and Elizabeth's scene with Sao Feng. If only it seemed like everyone knew what they were doing. The film industry hasn't even decided if certain aspects of the curse of the Flying Dutchman are in place or not and for a movie about pirates, there are only two main action sequences. The rest is exposition and attempts at characterization. But the film does not give any closure to any of the relationships, least of all the interesting dynamic going on between Jack and Barbossa.
But please do see it. I just consider it the weakest of the three and hope there is no fourth movie, although nowadays there will be since even terrible movies get a sequel or two or ten.

I finally watched it, and loved it
I tend to resist any actor or movie that receives too much media attention.

To my knowledge, all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have been incredible hits. This is due to the story of course, and the actors: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom & Kierra Knightly.

I finally got past my own knee-jerk negative reactions, and watched the movies. I didn't see them in the theaters, I bought or rented the DVDs, and most likely saw them out of order. I loved all of them.

It's a great achievement to create one such movie... It's even more fantastic to consistently create great sequels.

This was the first DVD in the series that I bought. I'll buy the others soon, and watch them all from the beginning. It will be an enjoyable day.

I first became acquainted with Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street, a TV Series. Frankly, I didn't remember much about him from those days.

Johnny has proven to be an excellent actor, and from all I've heard, he's a good man too.

A Fun Conclusion to the Pirates Saga
Overall I enjoyed this movie. It was alot of fun to watch although it is definately a flawed movie. The conclusion is too obvious, they overlook some of the main characters from the second movie particularly Commodore Norrington. He's in the movie very briefly despite being a major character in Pirates 2. In fact it would have been a better plot point if Norrington had become the new captain of the Dutchman because then he would have been locked in an unending search for redemption. The ending as is, is more like a punishment for doing something noble. However, overall the movie is enjoyable & fun. The actors are at the top of their game & overall it's a fun movie.
