Amazon.co.uk Review
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece." In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley

 Shocking June 21, 2008
C. Jones (Stokenchurch)
This is a bad bad film. Oh my god it's too long. Oh my god, did anyone think of writing a script worth following? It has no plot. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters. I couldn't be bothered to try to work out who was good, and who was bad. My bum ached. Please don't give any more money to the people who produced this. They shouldn't be rewarded for it. And most of the acting is shocking. Don't say I didn't warn you.
the worst film of 2007 June 6, 2008
martin thomas (england)
awful,awful,awful film that is one of the most indulgent pieces of rubbish ive seen in quite a while.and it deserved its infamous kicking by mark kermode
 Well.......... Not great! May 20, 2008
S. Thomas
The first film was so perfect that when I heard there would be two more films to follow, I was dubious, not believing that they could recapture the greatness of the first.
I was proved to be completely correct. The second film was, in my opinion, rubbish. However, I tried to remain positive by thinking that the second film in a trilogy is always one with the start of a plot, it being tied up in the third installment and that any second part to a trilogy will lack climatic thrills (other than the completely ludicrous end to Dead Man's Chest where they roll through the jungle on a water mill wheel!) and so, I set my hopes high on the third film. I was very excited when I went to see it in the cinema but was completely let down. there were simply too many 5 minute plotlines that were never tied up and the constant plot twists just got boring - not to mention the sickening marriage of Will and Elizabeth on the boat!
These films started great, tailed off in the middle and fell abysmally at the end - I now refuse to watch the last two films and sit comfortably with Curse of the Black Pearl as cinema gold (if only it were a one off)
A Disappointing End April 19, 2008
Mr. T. Ashwood (London, UK)
After the excitement of the first two instalments of Pirates of the Caribbean, I sat with eager anticipation at what the third one would bring to our screens.
The idea of introducing the war lords was an interesting one, and did provide for some amusement throughout the film, but the overall story line was muddled and slow to take off. Following on from Captain Jack's antics the plot split into different sub-groups, focusing on the love affair between Will Turner and Elizabeth, and on the so called `great war,' between the Pirate Warlords and the British Redcoats. Credit has to be given to the stunning special effects which can be witnessed throughout and provide the viewer with plenty of action. The representation of the British is as always well researched, although more of a storyline could have been given to them.
In concluding, I would say that out of all three this was by far the hardest to follow and although helped by special effects, the main storyline was lost in a maze of sub-plots. A disappointing end to the trilogy.
 More Real Than Fairytale April 18, 2008
Donald Thompson (Belfast N Ireland)
This is the third in the trilogy of the Pirates of the Carribean series, and as such shows a touch more adult sesnsibility than the first two. Its longer than the previous movies and a bit more serious,whether intentionally or not. Johnny Depp is still at his sparkling weirdest as Jack Sparrow, Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa makes a welcome return to add a little sinister to the plot. Keira Knightley is suddenly grown up and Orlando Bloom is darker and more focused as Will. Chow Yun Fat is also in the movie, but all too briefly, which is a sad loss for all fans of this great actor. Even Keith Richards turns up as Capt Teague, and gets to play a little guitar. The light relief this time is not only provided by Depp but also Mackenzie Crook.
The story as such revolves around the East India Company's desire to rid the seas of pirates and take over trade to the whole Carribean. To avoid this happening Elizabeth, Will and Barbossa must rescue Jack from Davey Jones' locker. And herein lies the beauty of this movie, by taking a reluctant hero, Depp, and placing him in an impossible place, it allows the director Gore Verbinski to sidestep the usual fairytale violence and replace it woth something much darker.
The sub plot of Calypso and Davey Jones is well handled and allows explosions and pratfalls to be replaced by cannon fire and death. The ending although a little telegraphed, is still satisfying. My one worry is that they will try for a fourth instalment. Please Walt NO!
More adult than its predecessors, darker, more realistic this is definitey much better than the other reviews would lead you to believe. It is likely to be viewed in a few years as the best of the bunch.
