A gut wrenching emotional powerhouse of a movie that mixes drama and dark fantasy to great effect. For some, the subtitles are a turn off, but don't let that distract you from this amazing film.
The Pirates Trilogy has now ended and what a ride! This is what summer entertainment is all about. Are there flaws? Sure. But who cares? We all know this isn't going to win any Oscars, but for mindless summer entertainment, you can't get much better. Supposedly this is the last in the series, but will we see more? You bet we will.
It started off on a great note and the movie as a whole has some of the best action sequences and special effects I've seen yet. Those alone are worth the price of admission. Storywise, Spider-man 2 is still the best. This movie should have left the Sandman completely out of it and just concentrated on Harry and Venom. The theme of revenge in both those characters was strong enough to carry the movie. Also, there are WAY too many people crying in this movie. EVERYBODY cries in this one. Peter, Harry, Mary Jane, Sandman AND Eddie Brock (Venom). And the "Saturday Night Fever" sequence is borderline ridiculous. All in all, still better than most of the other blockbusters out there.
One of the best movies to come out of the 80's. A great blend of action, comedy and sci-fi with a talented cast and endearing characters. And more than 20 years later, the film still holds up. A modern classic.
