February 9, 2012Well I've never till now not understood the plot of a Disney film. Summer blockbuster number two and its another let down,
yes you heard it right, its another long, overdrawn, cgi, complicated mess. They're just all the same these days, the effects are impressive, yes, but the pl... read more -
December 2, 2011This movie makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and is quite easily the worst out of every single Pirates movie in the terribly repetitive franchise. Pirates 3 is what I explained in my review for dead mans chest but much worse. You guessed it! It's even longer than before! with ... read more

September 1, 2011Loved the boat rocking and the ending. Not as great as the first one but not disappointing as well.

June 22, 2011The ending of Pirates 2 left many plot threads open, all of them are resolved in the third film in the most contrived and unsatisfying way possible. The plot of the film is polluted with too many characters, convoluted plot threads, and too much double-crossing. The characters ... read more

May 30, 2011I love the series, heck I love this movie, but it was really weird and had a lot of problems for me. The acting was the same as usual, just average except for Johnny Depp who was over the top as usual in this role. The plot was a catastrophe, it was so weird and pointless but o... read more

May 29, 2011fb100000145236770By far, the worst of the first 3 "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. The effects and action are great, but the story is all over the place. So much going on, it is hard to keep things straight. You would think a movie that is 2 and a half hours long would be able to get the sto... read more

May 24, 2011fb733768972The third instalment of the "Pirates" franchise is a complete borfest, with an average, hard-to-follow story, a cast that is getting, a few jokes, and lacking action sequences; However, I must say that the final ship battle nearing the end of the film is phenomenal! It is, hands ... read more

May 24, 2011fb535316333A fitting finale for the franchise, it's like everything gets bigger. More magic, more fantasy, more action, more CGI, yet retaining the humor and entertainment value of the first two.
What's really impressive is the creative team behind all the concepts that hold this adventur... read more -
May 21, 2011One of the biggest disappointments of the movies of 2007. This movie was too long to even capture what it should've. almost nothing was acomplished within the first two hours and then the last hour seemed a bit rushed. throughout the whole movie there was nothing but low-class, ... read more

April 25, 2011If your looking for a franchise that got worse with age, look no further. Depp still provides a strong performance, however.

The entire franchise seems on the verge of collapse, propelled to construct ever more grandiose flights of fancy. Without those sequences, there would be nothing there -- but a movie cannot exist on r... Full Review

David Ansen, Newsweek
The plot is not only hard to follow, there seems to be nothing real at stake. Half the characters are already dead, and half the movie seems to involve swordfights with dead people who can't be killed... Full Review

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
Not so much thought out as strung together -- colorful incident upon colorful incident, but without logic, gathering suspense or any attempt to establish emotional connections between audience and act... Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Depp descends into the shallows of self-parody, and the plot, keen to tie up every narrative loose end, manages to be simultaneously expansive and incomprehensible. Full Review

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
Unconscionably long at 2 hours and 48 minutes, saddled with a plot that badly needed streamlining and running a bit low on humor, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End may not sink, but it certainl...

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Worth seeing for the jaw-dropping action, the doses of irreverent humor and of course the star power of Depp, Knightley, Rush, Orlando Bloom, Bill Nighy, Chow Yun-Fat and a host of other talented acto... Full Review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
A glazed, inhuman, cluttered piece of work, a storytelling mishmash that buries the considerable charms of its actors under heavy drifts of silt. Full Review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
A ponderous pirate saga, 168 minutes long, with more doldrums than 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.' Full Review

Dana Stevens, Slate
Adrift in the windless seas of its 168-minute running time, the viewer passes through confusion and boredom into a state of Buddhist passivity. Full Review
