Chicago TribuneMichael Wilmington
The most visually spectacular, action-packed and surreal of the adventures of Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
I won't be able to talk anybody into or out of the Pirates of the Caribbean experience now, so I'll simply offer sage advice: Hit the bathroom just before it starts. To miss any five-minute chunk of this densely plotted trilogy-capper will leave you confused. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesCarina Chocano
Exciting, distracting and quite possibly permanently concentration impairing, what Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End offers is a wonderfully scenic medley of impressive action sequences so lengthy, elaborate and numerous that remembering what came before becomes a kind of test of mental focus.

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
More than ever, Depp masterfully keeps the enterprise afloat, even when the sheer weight of all those other characters threatens to throw it off-course. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette Catsoulis
The cannibals, coconuts and landlocked locations have been replaced by the high-seas high jinks that made the first film so enjoyable. Read full review

Washington PostStephen Hunter
Funner, biggerer, brighterer, bolderer, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is not only okay, it may even be close to good. A lavish spectacle illuminated by Johnny Depp's swishing pirate captain, the movie has its dull moments, but not many. Read full review

Chicago ReaderAndrea Gronvall
Depp plays multiple versions of Sparrow, who now suffers from a split personality; his shtick is funny, but the players are all upstaged by the astonishing special effects, superior to those of earlier installments in creating a wondrous and menacing world. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter Rainer
Depp and Rush are still in there plugging away. They’re troupers, but the series is all used up. If there is to be another sequel it will have to be called "Pirates of the Caribbean – At Wit's End." Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The last 60 minutes offer adventure as rousing as anything provided in either of the previous installments. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for the other 108 minutes of this gorged, self-indulgent, and uneven production. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
A sumptuous feast for the eyes and an occasionally exhilarating stimulant to the heart. But beware my hearty: It will tie your rum-soaked brain in knots. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy Burr
You can bet your parrot "Pirates" will be back, even if "At World's End" hasn't the foggiest idea when to quit. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
It's almost three hours long, and that's a lot of time to invest in what is, essentially, a theme-park attraction you can't ride. Read full review
