I sat through this film for nearly 3 hours and I hated it. The story was even worst then the previous film, The acting was terrible, and it ended terribly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked the second movie pretty much but this one was not as good as first 2 movies. Surely it was pretty much fun and excitement during the whole movie, watching all that iconized characters brawl in an epic fight. But there is absolutely no meaning in some parts of the story. You will never guess what will happen if character x do one thing in a scene. Only the thing which the scripter wanted to happen happens, it doesn't have to make sense nor be logically accurate. Of course i never asked this movie to %100 realistic but sometimes even movie itself breaks its own rules. For example check some of main characters: Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Captain Barbossa. All of these three have died at some point in these movies but actually always find a way to revive one dead guy. My advice is, if you want to bring all those dead people back to life, please don't do it three times. Even though i should say i enjoyed this one and whoever is to say he didn't is probably lying. So i give an 8 for this one.… Expand

At World's End makes this even more difficult by adding in a few extra story lines for good measure. The result is a jumbled film that tackles far too much, even with a particularly long running time. Because of the focus on tying up the loose ends of the story, not nearly enough time is dedicated to characters and important events. The main quest (to rescue Jack) is done and dusted in less than an hour and undermines the impact of the cliffhanger ending of DMC. Norrington, Chow Yun-Fat's Sao Feng and even the Kraken are all pushed to the side and play minor roles. This is disappointing as Norrington and the Kraken were of much greater importance to proceedings in DMC and Sao Feng was an interesting new edition. More troubling is the chance in the character of Will Turner who begins the movie as a sneering, almost villainous character but n the end returns to his usual self. This strange shift is clearly done for the benefit of the story but prompts the audience to dislike Will, a usually likable and morally upright character. The action scenes, though entertaining, drag on and quickly outstay their welcome. Though it wasn't terrible, I enjoyed the previous two films more; the first for its originality and the second for its dense but clear story. Both seem to be lacking in this movie.… Expand

Pirates of the Caribbean (1) was an amazing movie. Pirates of Caribbean (2) was an ok movie. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a horrible movie. It's too long, the story is dull and even Jack Sparrow can't save this one.

As the pirateThis third installment continues the last adventure of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner as they, along with the resurrected Barbossa, try to find Jack Sparrow, who got killed in the last movie and is now in the land of the dead. As the pirate ships plan to release the goddess Calypso, Davy Jones's lover, the crew seek the help of Sao Feng and all of the pirate lords and must fight for their final stand against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman and East India Trading Company while also finding Will Turner's father as well.

(sigh) What?! I only missed two of the sequels to a great movie? UGH! Oh, well. Now to get to my opinion. Like the previous movie, it's not as good as the first.

The dialogue was bad (again), The storytelling was rushed (again), and the storyline was very tiresome. That's it for the bad.

The good things are: The actors did very well at their performances, The CGI was even more cooler, The action was way more better, and the cinematography was a lot of fun.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End may not be one of the best movies of 2007, but like the second installment, it is also a worthy follow up to a great movie with strong performances and fond farewells to Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley.

The 2nd and this 3rd one however is ridiculous. It has no real new plot...rather it's just a continuation of the 2nd one. It gets incredibly boring and stale and is way too long. I forced myself to watch the entire movie hoping for some redeeming moments but no, it was garbage the whole way through. Keira Knightley is a horrid actress (looks horrid too) and her role in this movie is stupid. What you see in this movie isn't new...you'd have seen it all before in the first 2. That said, the fighting is all the same. You'd think people would learn that when trilogies are made, 90% of the time each movie is worse than the one before it and this is the case with the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. The fact that this one was made literally at the same time as the 2nd one definitely shows. Don't know why anyone would go out and buy this on DVD....save your money.… Expand

I thought Black Pearl was a good movie for pure entertainment value: funny, clever, some nice action sequences and cinematography, with an actual plot-line. Dead Man's Chest was absolutely pointless: there were about three things that happened: Will meets Dad, audience meets Davie Jones and Calypso, and Jack dies. That's all that really happened in the movie. It also lacked focus and there was no framework holding everything together giving the reader a sense of purpose the movie was heading towards. -At World's End is far better than the second, but still a mediocre movie. The jokes were pretty immature, but it was funny at times. There's some awesome cinematography (like Jack in Davie Jone's locker) as well as the ending fight between Jack and Davie Jones on the ship, and some parts were quite clever. It started off so promising with the whole pirate's song (but then this is COMPLETELY forgotten about later) but then followed the path of Dead Man's Chest. The music, however, was great as always. -There was so much potential in this movie: at first I thought it would be about pirates being hunted down and having to form one last alliance to stand up against the British Armada (like the trailers promised). The whole concept of the pirate kings was very intriguing and clever. But all this potential was wasted since the movie wasn't about the pirates banding together, but focused on the love story between Calypso and Davie Jones, and Will and Elizabeth. Does anyone remember any other pirate ships fighting at the end besides the Black Pearl? Nope: they didn't show any of the other pirates lords against the British Armada during the final fight, which would have just been stunning and what I was most looking forward to from the trailers. -Ah well, wasted potential. Decent movie; SO MUCH BETTER than the second, but no where as good as the first. Just to reiterate: the second one sucked!… Expand

Worst of the Pirate movies? MAYBE. But all the Suddenly, it's like LOTR all over again. Three hour movie, too long and complicated for children to digest, thus polarizing the reviewer scores into binary values of 0,1, and 10. Worst of the Pirate movies? MAYBE. But all the feeble-minded children giving this 2 or less have forced people who actually WATCHED the first two movies to make our final stand. They're PIRATES. They are out for Number 1 and no one else. Unifying the 9 biggest of them all under one banner takes balls the size of coconuts unless you're a woman. DMC touched on this, AWE drives it home. Critics purportedly loved the surrealist desert while bashing on wooden acting jobs, Will being the main accuse. Will cannot be another sweet Jack Sparrow- he's the honest hero in a den of thieves and beggars who, by the end of DMC was burned one time too many. A few things keep this finale out of classic territory. Keith Richards as Jack's father is a wasted opportunity for some Jack backstory, at a rare time where Jack can hallucinate just about anything the directors wanted him to. Why is Jack the way he is? What's their relationship? Same goes for poor Sao Feng, reduced to third-tier villain status, 'yellow-peril'ishly groping his 'Calypso' before his ignominious demise. All the old faces from the first movie retain interest, with an ending that puts all but a few lingering threads to rest. If you came in looking for The Godfather on the high seas, look again. Watch them in order or you'll make a pig's breakfast of the whole thing.… Expand

The story tries to accomplish too much, and the plot darts around dizzily like a drunken pirate. Ignoring the plot there are a few scenes here and there that attempt to resurrect the magic of the first movie in the series. Audiences will find laughter to be scarce in this movie and enjoyment even harder to find. The battles are long and felt like watching CGI on steroids. Despite all of the effort put into making everything look as realistic as possible I have never felt more removed from a movie. The very ending of Pirates 3 feels like the ending to a different movie. The Pirates theme plays as Depp sails off triumphantly into the sunset. With hints at the end suggesting possibly another sequel I'm wondering how much more money Disney can make from a franchise that is more dead than Davy Jones.… Expand

Pirates was a fantastic idea when it started and captivated all of us. However, the second movie was not really good and this third sequel, well, the less said the better. Yes, they spent a fortune on special effects but without a storyline to go with them after awhile the audience realizes that the flick has become ridiculous without any feeling as no matter what no one dies or for that matter does any of the proceedings make any sense. That said, if you think this was a perfect movie deserving of a perfect score, then my score has to be a big fat goosegg to warn the unsuspecting public of how truly awful this movie really is.… Expand

The sporadic storytelling will leave you befuddled and has no logical beginning or end and many end up being random tangents that could possibly bring ADD upon its entire audience. But the symbolism, cinematography, special effects, and hallmark character traits make it quite a copasetic conclusion to an enjoyable franchise, even though the ending does end up Disneyfied. It's a lovely little mess of a movie. Be warned though: Sparrow's closing line was much better in the context of the first film. Hell, even out of context it was better. Enjoy!… Expand

You will find that the plot is I am not confused about the plot, but I am befuddled by all the negative reviews. I will say this: do yourself a favor and watch the last 15 minutes of Pirates I and all of Pirates II before you see this one. You will find that the plot is actually not that confusing, it's just that most of us have a hard time remembering what happened the last time around if it's been almost a year. If you can follow the plot, just hang on and enjoy the ride. This movie is a return to true-swashbuckling form with everything one would want in a Pirates' movie. The last one got a little too dark for my taste. This is a *MILD SPOILER* but you should know that they unceremoniously dump the Kraken. You should know that going in, so you won't be too disappointed when it happens... er, more like doesn't happen. There is great atmosphere, some jaw-dropping scenes, spectacular battles, and quite a few funny moments, but again.... Review the movies before you watch!!! If you are scratching your head over the plot, you will miss out on the ride! (I think this is why people have had such negative reactions... they can't follow the movie, therefore they can't fully commit to the ride that Pirates takes you on. If you can't commit to a logical story, it's so much harder to suspend your disbelief, then the acting seems off and the action scenes seem pointless) This movie, indeed the whole series, is about enjoying a ride, much like at a theme park. This is a much more satisfying, enjoyable, and well-crafted third chapter to a series than say Spider-Man 3.… Expand

This movie left me with mixed feelings. I haven't watched Pirates since the second one came out in theatres, and let me tell you, if you want to fully enjoy it, don't do that, because it was confusing as h--l. However, as I watched more of the movie, parts came back to me, but even still, I found myself unable to comprehend some parts. I'm not sure if watching the first two would have helped or not, because I can usually recall movie facts pretty accurately, and there were parts of this movie that I just found completely irrelevant.
