PIRATE'S OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END (2007)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? The worst movie I've seen since Spider-Man 3. This film edges out Pirate's 2 as being the worst in the series. Unlike said prequel, this movie is a yawner, through and through, with virtually nothing to write home about.
Technically any good? Almost everything good about the last two films was ignored and what was used in this film was used poorly. It felt as though the writers were bored with the concept and as a result, I think the script suffers. The acting was fine, but who cares? The same goes for the effects. Forget that they were gorgeous--the script was as muddled and confused as Spider-Man 3's script. Too many storylines going made for no clear throughline for us to grab onto. It was a serious mess that I couldn't even tell you about. Seriously, the plot is that muddy. It's NOT about bringing Jack Sparrow back from Davey Jones' Locker. It was about that, the East India Company trying to get the nine Pieces of Eight, Captain Barbosa releasing Davey Jones' ex-girlfriend from her fleshy prison, and uh... whether or not Will and Elizabeth should be together, and about Will trying to save his father, and.... you get the point.
How did it leave me feeling? Like I wasted the last 2 hours and 45 minutes of my life. Seriously, this movie could have been GREAT if it was forced to be 2 hours or less. I could have cut SO much to make this film better. What's sad is that, at the very least, the last two were crowd pleasers. While the last one was way more dumb than the first, this one completes the descent of the franchise. A fourth PotC movie? It won't be one I'll pay for.
Final Rating? DNS - Do Not See - Seriously. Netflix something. Seriously.
