On par with its predecessor, Dead Man’s Chest, At World’s End provides a satisfying ending to the first Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, if a bit uneven at times.

Movie was a little bit long. If you can understand what is happening with jack and the others then it's a very good movie. Plenty of room though to make it very hard to follow. Good effects and a little more violent than most disney movies.

A funny and good film. Daring for a Disney film, as it starts with a hanging scene and has a totally-white Captain Jack Sparrow scene -- not often seen in a mainstream Hollywood production.

Not quite as good as the first, but still a very strong, very well developed and acted film with great twists, a darkness we don't expect from Disney, and some moments of sheer brilliance. Much better than the critics would have you think.

Everything that I can't understand why everyone is trashing this movie, and if they are, it's for the wrong reasons. Most people are saying that the last 30 minutes of the movie was the best part, but for me it was the worst part. Everything that happened leading up to the final battle sequence was fantastic! I think the big problem is that most of the people who come to see this movie only want flashy special effects and humor (well... they got their dose of it for the last part of the movie, minus the humor). No one really cares about the Pirates's intriguing and original story line. Overall, for the first 2 hrs and 15 mins, this movie was just as good as the original Pirates movie. All the cleverness, character plots, and humor were all done to perfection with no trace of cheesiness anywhere! I was pleasantly surprised to see that Jack Sparrow was just as funny in this film as the first, because in the second he failed to make me laugh once. I'm sad to hear that people complain about movies being three hours long, and when they can't follow a plot, they say it's too confusing or nothing is going on, but then when the action kicks in, everything turns around and all is right in the world. Once Callipso comes towards the end, you'll probably find me hanging my head in disgust for the remainder of the movie. At this moment, everything you find bad about the second installment reappears its ugly head and everything turns stupid. I'm extremely happy though, because the first 80% of this movie was a 10 for me... but then it turned into a 0... *works the calculator* Overall that's an 8.… Expand

The first one is great, definitely a better movie, but I find this one to be more entertaining as a whole. I love the pirate mythology, of course it doesn't make sense, it's not meant to. With zany adventures like this it's a lot more fun to ignore the plotholes and enjoy the spectacle of ships battling in the middle of giant whirlpool and of course Johnny Depp being weird. I feel like this movie got Captain Jack the best, rather than just relying of the jokes, they let his natural acting talent and odd behavior do all the comedy for him. The scene with him in Davy Jones Locker is possibly the best scene with Jack yet, just because we get an interesting insight into his personal hell. All in all it's a stonking great action romp with epic pirate action this movie is more than adequate and it makes for a fantastic ending to the original trilogy of films.… Expand

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

That said, though, I had fun watching At World's End, just like I had fun watching the last 2 Pirates movies. At World's End is almost impossible to follow, it's extremely long, it lacks a strong, memorable new villain (they're just going after the humans? Boring...) and much of the action is saved until the end. But still...I had fun. Johnny Depp is better than ever as Captain Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush is awesome as Barbarosa, and Kiera Knightly kicks ass in this installment, too. This is easily the best-looking movie I've ever seen, with some amazing cinematography and some great directing. Gore Verbinski knows how to make a movie epic. The music is also the best in the series as well. If you liked the past 2 Pirates movies, (more specifically, if you liked the 2nd one) you should enjoy this.

The lone exception might be Revenge of the Sith, but only because Clones was two-and-a-half of some of the most embarrassing hours in cinematic history. However, Pirates 3 gives you exactly what you need. The action and effects are spectacular and the story is methodic and ends right where it should. Sure, it all might be confusing for the "weak-minded" children whose parents will ignore the PG-13 rating, but the story does make sense. And yes, it's long and there are moments where they try too hard for laughs. And yes, Jack takes a back seat (USA Today, who gives no concrete evidence for the verbose, negative remarks).

Has all the elements of a great pirate movie and then some. The stories beginning is somewhat confusing but wraps up nicely in the end. Stay after the credits for an extra bonus.

Enormous budget is spent on some of the most lavish and jawdropping special effects and art/set direction I have ever seen. It's very long and very plot heavy, even more so than the first two, but I was never bored. In fact, I was entertained for nearly three hours. Not bad! Kudos to the writers and director for having lofty ambitions and meeting a good many of them. While the extravagant razzle dazzle effects are nearly overwhelming, the convoluted plotting maintains a sense that there is a story underneath it all. Uh, but maybe it's only a sense and nothing more. Whatever the final verdict, I'd recommend it anyway!… Expand

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

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.

There is a lot going on in the third instalment of this hugely successful franchise, and the final one of the continuing story from the the second entry. While still not capturing or even replicating the original, but it is mountains betterThere is a lot going on in the third instalment of this hugely successful franchise, and the final one of the continuing story from the the second entry. While still not capturing or even replicating the original, but it is mountains better than the Dead Man's Chest, and while you can't really miss a single minute for fear completely losing your place in this often puzzling and densely populated film, it is still very long, much longer than it should have been.
There is a lot to keep up with but after the climax of the original film, a crew sets out to rescue Jack from Davy Jones Locker, a place of nothing, to be punished, as expanded cast member Tia Dalma (Naomi Harris) outlines. But also afoot is the attempt to call the Brethren court, a pirate organisation made of all pirate lords to bring about the end of the East India Trading Company's rain of terror across the seas, led by their new pet Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), whose heart is owned by said company, hence his actions.
Captain Jack, meanwhile, mentally rots away as he wonders exactly where he is and if the things going on around him are truly real, his comical and whimsical attitude is again excellently performed through Johnny Depp, his character has indeed stood the test of the three films, and he is the most enjoyable thing to look forward to in this.
With that thought, there is again a lot of pointless and time-consuming elements of the film that contribute little to the cause, and with the continuing mutiny and rebellious nature of both Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner make it difficult give any sort of sympathy towards them. Their heightening love story within the film is distracting and too much emphasis is placed upon it, deterring from the more enjoyable aspects.
It is Jack and the returning Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbosa that truly maintain the flashes of greatness from the original, Jack and his long conversations with himself, or Barbosa and his typical pirate nature, mix that in with a plot that although complex, does give the incentive to watch over again.
As visuals go, this is a true spectacle in front of you, beautiful, marvellous and a delight to the eyes, the final battle in particular is breathtaking, ships, pirates and storms galore. Effects an marvels don't get much bigger than this, combined with an impressive score.
Not as captivating as the original, quite lengthy with many unnecessary moments and the same goes for characters, but certainly better than the second with an impressive finale, epic set pieces characters staying true to their roots and continuing powerful performances from Depp, Rush and Nighy, oh and a cameo from a particular Rolling Stone, make this quite a worthwhile and explosive third showing.… Expand

Bloom is boring and very hard to sympathize with, aside from the end where he does grow a little. Depp is just doing yet another fantastic Jack Sparrow.

Positive arguments:
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End got a great story, and the movie itself is very well made, and sometimes I even got stunned on how great this movie is made. It also contains some spectacular things that I haven't seen in movies before, and from my point of view is that one of the most important thing in all movies. The film have a good beginning and ending, even thought the beginning could have had a higher tempo. The actors thought, couldn't have been more awesome as they are, and I'm still fascinated by Johnny Depp's weird acting, and I really enjoy him!

Negative arguments:
The first bad thing I noticed in this movie is the beginning, it didn't have an exiting start, and the movie overall felt a little lengthy at some places. Another bad thing is that sometimes the movie felt a little silly, and I'm really disappointed in the music in this movie, because it wasn't that thrilling in comparison of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The tempo might have been a little higher because it felt a little lengthy a some places, but it also felt a little confusing sometimes.

Overall is this a spectacular movie, but it got some big mistakes, and it feels like that Disney is slowly loosing the touch of these movies. But I really recommend this movie for everyone, because it's a great movie!

The rest of the movie is a series of events that are unfortunately disconnected and fail to be brought together into a clear narrative at any point.
I suppose I could try to explain the plot and ruin your mind, but I'm not feeling like making you lose the time: it's simply convoluted as possible, it tries to tie in the classic PotC pirate antics with betrayals and accords, the bumbling(if not dying) love story between Will Turner(Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann(Keira Knightley) and a...war against a fascist regime represented by the East India Company with the Pirates of the world being the rebels?

I'm not even sure if they proofread their plot, but it is essentially two movies in one, and in the second of these movies, they try to cram in far too many plot points and elements together in one go. The "good free Rebel Pirates VS Evil EIC Empire" being a particularly jarring one as pirates were never supposed to be heroes of justice, nor was the Navy the Stormtroopers or Beckett Darth Vader...

The acting never made me roll my eyes, except maybe get a little stupid when Orlando Bloom tries to act like he's in love, and the musical score and general cinematography is certainly interesting, but that does not justify the very poor pacing and seriously flawed plots of this movie.

Honestly if it had been me doing it, At World's End would've been rescuing Jack Sparrow only, which I would've stretched from 1h10 minutes to 2h10 minutes with more action and a more varied story, and a double cliffhanger at the end that William wants to save his dad and that the EIC wants to truly take over the world, Star Wars Empire style. And the rest of the current movie would've been the 4th movie.

What a mess. AWE still gets a seven for more than one hour of great entertainment, but for the rest, you have to take footnotes to understand the plot.… Expand

In order to control the oceans, Lord Cutler Beckett executes anyone associated with piracy in Port Royal by ordering Davy Jones to destroy all pirate ships in the seas. Condemned prisoners sing "Hoist the Colours" to compel the nine PirateIn order to control the oceans, Lord Cutler Beckett executes anyone associated with piracy in Port Royal by ordering Davy Jones to destroy all pirate ships in the seas. Condemned prisoners sing "Hoist the Colours" to compel the nine Pirate Lords to convene at Shipwreck Cove to hold the Brethren Court. Because Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, never named a successor before being dragged to Davy Jones' Locker, Captain Barbossa, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Tia Dalma, and the crew of the Black Pearl plot to rescue Jack. Traveling to Singapore, the crew meet Captain Sao Feng (Pirate Lord of the South China Sea), who owns navigational charts to the Locker. Beckett's soldiers invade, but the crew escape. Will secretly promises to give Jack to Feng in return for the Pearl, which he will use to rescue his father Bootstrap Bill Turner from the Flying Dutchman.

The crew travels to the Locker, rescuing Jack and recovering the Black Pearl. The crew encounters many dead souls, including Elizabeth's father Governor Swann, who was executed by Beckett. Tia Dalma reveals that the Goddess Calypso charged Davy Jones with the job to guide the souls of those who died at sea to the next world. Once every ten years he could come ashore to be with the woman he loved. But he corrupted his purpose and was cursed to become a monster. The soul of Governor Swann reveals that whoever kills Jones, by stabbing his disembodied heart, must take his place as the Dutchman's captain.

Returning to the living world, the Pearl stops at an island for fresh water, where the crew find the Kraken lying dead on the beach, having been killed by Jones under orders from Beckett. They are then attacked by Sao Feng and Beckett's men. Through a complex series of deals, Elizabeth is handed over to Feng, who believes she is the goddess Calypso, while the rest of the crew make for Shipwreck Cove aboard the Pearl. Jack throws Will off the ship as part of the plan to seize control of the Dutchman. Sao Feng tells Elizabeth that the first Brethren Court bound Calypso in human form after she betrayed her lover, Davy Jones. He plans to release her to defeat Beckett. Davy Jones attacks Feng's ship, the Empress, mortally wounding Feng in the process. Feng appoints Elizabeth his successor as Pirate Lord before dying. Elizabeth and the crew are locked in the brig of the Dutchman, where she finds Bootstrap Bill losing himself to the Dutchman's curse. In a moment of clarity he tells her that Will must not come, since by killing Jones he will bind himself to the ship. Admiral Norrington frees Elizabeth and her new crew from the Dutchman, but is killed by Bootstrap Bill.

The Black Pearl arrives at Shipwreck Cove, where Barbossa attempts to persuade the Brethren Court to release Calypso. Davy Jones visits Tia Dalma in the Pearl's brig, revealing she is Calypso. Jack's father Captain Teague, Keeper of the Pirate Code, informs the Court that only an elected Pirate King can decide on going into battle. A vote is taken. To avoid a stalemate, Jack casts his vote for Elizabeth, making her King.

The Brethren Court and Beckett's fleets emerge for war. On a sandbank, Elizabeth, Jack, Barbossa, Beckett, Jones, and Will parley, trading Will for Jack. Barbossa steals Jack's piece of eight, all of which are owned by the Pirate Lords and required to free Calypso. Barbossa frees Calypso, but when Will reveals it was Jones who betrayed her and made it possible for the first Court to imprison her, Calypso vanishes and summons an enormous maelstrom.

The Pearl and the Dutchman battle in the maelstrom. Elizabeth and Will are wed by Barbossa. On board the Dutchman, Jones and Jack engage in a duel for control of Davy Jones' heart. Jones stabs Will, mortally wounding him. Jack gives up his chance for immortality and instead helps Will stab the heart, killing Jones, whose body falls into the maelstrom. Jack and Elizabeth escape the Dutchman as it is sucked into the maelstrom.

As Beckett's ship, the Endeavour, approaches to destroy the Pearl, the Dutchman rises from the sea, now captained by Will; the crew has been freed from Jones' curse. Together, the two pirate ships destroy the Endeavour. A stunned Beckett goes down with his ship while his navy retreats. With Will now forever bound to escort souls lost at sea to the next world, he and Elizabeth bid farewell to each other on the beach of an abandoned island. Will departs on the Dutchman, leaving Elizabeth pregnant and with the chest containing his heart.

Jack and Joshamee Gibbs discover Barbossa has stolen the Black Pearl again, but Jack planned ahead and stole Sao Feng's navigational charts. He departs from Tortuga alone to track down the mythical Fountain of Youth.… 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

Ok, all of you reviewers are wrong. It is not an 8, 9, or a 10. Neither is it a 0, 1, 2, or 3. It was an average movie which is very disappointing compared to the previous installments. A 5 is exactly where this movie should be, but I give Ok, all of you reviewers are wrong. It is not an 8, 9, or a 10. Neither is it a 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Second best will be good enough is this potpourri of a pirate adventure/love story. Good: Johnny Depp gets the screen time that he lost in Pirates 2. Excellent special effects that do not overrun the story. Finishes with several nice plot Second best will be good enough is this potpourri of a pirate adventure/love story. Good: Johnny Depp gets the screen time that he lost in Pirates 2. Excellent special effects that do not overrun the story. Finishes with several nice plot twists with a bittersweet finale. Bad: The pieces do not always fit together in this extravaganza. Story meanders in the middle. Needed to be trimmed by 30 - 40 minutes.… Expand

Eh... it was OK... in my opinion it was the WORST of the three films. As long as this movie was... there were several plot points that they managed to leave out. (D'oh!)

As long as this movie was... there were several plot points that they managed to leave out. (D'oh!) Oh, and when the MONKEY is the most entertaining actor in the film... that could be a bad sign.

As a huge fan of the series, I was taken aback at all the revisionism and plot twists. Maybe it's better after a second watch. Also -- perhaps we have become accostumed to a trilogy ending the story, therefore, we were looking for As a huge fan of the series, I was taken aback at all the revisionism and plot twists.

A little incoherent, a little long too. It wasn't all bad but It's not going to win any Oscars methinks, unless maybe for special effects.

I loved this movie, mostly for the same reason people hated it, the carefully weaving prophetic storyline is a gem. Pirates 3 is bold, defiant and gracefully ignites the imagination with its beauty and passion. 10+" LOL how about minus graceful, beauty and passion? as well as thinking, carefully and gem. actually ill disregard that entire review and give the truth. it was clumsy, overacted and less funny than the other two, however it had some pretty interesting action scenes, as well as some really attention grabbing special effects. it was still funny too, however quite a few jokes flopped, and a lot of scenes dragged on for too long. moderately enjoyable.… Expand

Watching the latest installment of Pirates of The Caribbean, I was reminded of the Godfather movies, where the first two were excellent, but the third one was a jumbled mess that shouldn't have been made. It still has the humour and Watching the latest installment of Pirates of The Caribbean, I was reminded of the Godfather movies, where the first two were excellent, but the third one was a jumbled mess that shouldn't have been made. It still has the humour and special effects that the first two POTC movies had, but it was severely lacking a decent story, was unnecessarily overdrawn. Johnny Depp was great (as always!) and the only redeeming quality to this movie. His great acting and off-beat humour made it bearable.… Expand

Again, what I said about Dead Man's Chest except even more so here. Too long, entertaining and adventurous, but unnecessary and confusing. It was decent.
