Okay. last film to review before On Stranger Tides so here we go.
Plot: Jack Sparrow has been sent to Davy Jones' Locker, and Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Pintel, Regetti and Tia Dalma are attempting to bring him back. meanwhile, with Lord Becket in possession of the heart of Davy Jones, he is able to use Davy Jones to aid him in destroying the pirates for good.
This is mostly a very fun and entertaining movie...but it's also messy and confusing. They often mix you up with things like what is the current matter between Will and Elizabeth, the matter about Davy Jones and his loved one, and with the life as a pirate. With the last one, I am mostly referring to how in this movie, pirates are shown to have a government and in some cases in the movie, piracy is viewed to be a religion. But still, when you leave that aside, it's still has some nice comedy, some excellent action, and the plot is nice enough to make the movie still fairly interesting and have a very satisfying ending.
Actors/Characters:
Johnny Depp/Captain Jack Sparrow: He is so much better in this film. He still focuses more on himself as usual being the pirate that he is, but he still has a the major debate about trying to life forever. But while it makes sense for them to have an imaginary conscience in terms of sort of building the suspense about what he truly wants, I still found it a little unnecessary. But still, there's no problem with him being the guy the still is.
Orlando Bloom/Will Turner: In this movie, he started to become a lot more like Jack...or more like a pirate. doing whatever it takes to free his father even if it causes a problem or two between him and Elizabeth. but hey, he's still a complete bad-a and altogether the Will Turner we know.
Keira Knightly/Elizabeth Swann: well things have certainly changed only a lot since she was just the damsel in distress. Throughout this film she's losing some people she cares about and she become a but bigger pirate than she could ever have imagined back when she found Will all those years ago. Yet still, he shes the only one that states the obvious thing to do while all the other pirates are just being ridiculous in her eyes.
Geoffrey Rush/Barbossa: this was quite the change in character. In fact, this is a good example about how the way to view pirates in this movie has changed. I mean with Barbossa, he fits the bill in the film in terms of being a cold-hearted pirate that "pillages, plunders, rifles, and loots, kindles and chars, inflames and ignites, burns up the city, be really a fright, and be a devil a black sheep, and a really bad egg, Aye, but loved by his mom and dad (*singing* drink up me hearties Yo-Ho! YO-HO, YO-HO A pirates life for me!") but now he's revealed to be a Pirate Lord (which I wonder how...but not as much as I do concerning Jack,) and one of the main leaders in a sense to the pirate government or brethren. and altogether a good guy now. so yeah, big change. But still cool.
Bill Nightly/Davy Jones: Well he's still a cool dark character, tentacles and all. But while I'm alright with his part also including the little love mix, I imagine that most people that are more skeptical than I would dislike it mixing with him also being this cool dark villain.
Chow Yun-fat/Captain Sao-Feng: this was not much of a character. he wasn't there much...really I think they put to much grandeur in this character when it came to the trailers and posters to this movie.
Screenplay: mostly good but it still possessed the lines where they would confuse you on certain things.
Music: I actually really liked the music. I thought it was all very powerful when it came to all the dramatic points in the film and it still made things exciting during all the battle scenes and gave the film a very good ending.
Action: the best.
Effects: they were very good. I dislike how they lost to the Golden Compass. Yes they did a well done job making a realistic looking polar bear. who gives a frick? I mean sure it might've deserved it but I also dislike it because I really did not like Golden Compass.
Editing: It was very good. They made the right type of cuts and camera angles to tell the story and make the action very good.
And that is my review for Pirates of the Caribbean:At World's End. tune it probably a month or more form now when I review the next film.
