Movie Review: "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (2007)Shooting back-to-back in season 2005/2006 alongside "Dead Man's Chest" for budget over half a billion Dollars gathered and executed by Jerry Bruckheimer Films for Disney Enterprises in a major Hollywood release starring Johnny Depp as pirate captain Jack Sparrow, entrapped in Davy Jones locker under fly high, perfectly orgnized directions by director Gore Verbinski.Keira Knightley, Goeffrey Rush as captain Barbossa and Orlando Bloom must come to terms on the far side of the known world, streaming to ancient Singapore ruler portrayed in splendid make-up effects by HK actor Yun-Fat Chow, when cinematography and production design making waves of timeless high-end visual quality.As only a twelve minute sequence with Johnny Depp as multiplying "Sparrow" can top the showdown with "Maelstrom" sailing, sword-fighting "Sparrow vs. Jones" proportions to back-to-back confronting characters of Elizabeth Swann & Will Turner to maximum conclusions against the East Indian trading company in mounting charge of fully-nemesis-playing Tom Hollander, as director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer used the production budget wisely.

Won the hearts of many and continues to amaze the new watchers.
... View MoreThe third insert of POTC happened way too fast compared to the rest of the franchise. Because of this happening so quickly, most of the lovely things about the first two insert were skipped over, forgotten, or ignored. In my personal opinion, this movie did have a nice thought and an excellent attempt at keeping the romance interesting, but fell short of the mark. The idea was there, just not executed well. I also think that this film would a decent franchise-ender, and would be an okay conclusion for the trilogy. While there are many bad things about this movie, there were enough good things going on to have me watch the fourth. While staying away from that for now, I might recommend this movie, the re-watch value is low, and is dis-interesting at many parts in my opinion.
... View MoreWhen push comes to shove, the Pirates films are about one thing and one thing only, entertainment. Amidst all of the nonsensical humor and action, I don't know how you wouldn't at least be entertained by what Johnny Depp & company had to offer.At World's End once again doubles down on everything that made the second film ridiculously fun. Except this time the film is a solid 2 hours and 48 minutes long. I guess if you're going to spend 300 million dollars on a film might as well make it lengthy, right? The length and it's convoluted and wandering plot are sure to annoy some viewers (it certainly annoyed me), but there's more than enough to make this another worthy entry in Disney's bankable series.After Beckett and the Navy managed to steal Davy Jones' heart and impose a ban on pirates across the seas, Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa must form an alliance to find Jack Sparrow and come together for one final battle. There's a lot to like here, including some of the best choreographed and shot action of the entire series. Merely analyzing the final 35 minutes was enough to get my blood flowing. This series has never shied away from going all out with action and escapades, and At World's End is no different. I'm not even sure 50 percent of the films made today look half as good as this film does. However, there are always downsides to relying heavily on the spectacle.As I mentioned with Dead Man's Chest, the spectacle overtook any sort of uniqueness or cleverness to the script that made the first adventure so fresh. Johnny Depp is way past the point of over-the- top, and so is the film. You feel like there's real danger in the first film, but most of that is gone by the supernatural and fantastical elements they bring in here. Nobody expected to see Sparrow sit an entire film out after being eaten by the Kraken last film, but it sure seemed pretty easy to get him back. And when we do get him back, he spends most of his time talking to hallucinated versions of himself that refuse to go away. The plot also tends to always fall back on one member of the crew being either 'missing' or 'captured' by another ship/crew. It gets tiring after a while.I think they set out to make the biggest adventure possible, and you have to give the people involved credit for truly bringing it. But I can completely understand where people get tired of mindless action without much wit and far less charm than the first film had. But hey, I'm still having a blast going back and re-watching some of my childhood favorites.+Spectacle is unmatched+Zimmer's score is epic+Jaw-dropping action-Plot wanders-Lengthy7.8/10
