Elevator Music?

Because some things are just time fillers.

Somewhere between the rocking and the "arghhing". Jack Sparrow proclaims that he has lost his brain.

I agree.I think the franchise has lost their brain and unfortunately for them it shows.

"Do you think he plans all this or just makes it up as he goes along?" asks one of the thousand extra pompous sailors. The plot is, to put it quite simply, a blubbering pile of mess. There are thousands of loose ends and unnecessary subplots that don't resolve themselves.

Well, there was something about Betrayal.

Maybe that was the main theme.All the pirates were double crossing and triple crossing and quadruple crossing and halfway-through-the-movie-no one-cared-who-was-crossing-who crossing . Or it might have been about crabs.

There were lots of crabs.

It might even have been about how the state of the art technology is all that is needed in modern day cinema to make the film work.

State of the Art!

For this film, even Jack Sparrow is getting old. I mean that both literally and metaphorically. He doesn't appear until half an hour into the movie and through out the movie his charm slowly wilts and the only thing left standing is the Blah couple of the century, Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly. Fights between the Pirates and the English Navy was long,drawn out and terribly tedious.While Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones fought it out on the top of the ship, the rest of them filed their nails,poofed their hair and watched them tumble into the whirlpool.





The best part in the whole film must have been the ending.It truly came full circle and back to the first film where Jack Sparrow was seen on his little raft.At the same time, the brilliant people left an opening for a potential Fourth film.





The fact is, the only betrayal I see here is from Disney.They never fail to raise my hope in them,that they are once again doing something pure and magical, and crush it by revealing themselves as a money grubbing cooperation who are eager to siphon the wealth off Kids during summer.





Rating: 3/5



Ps. I didn't mention Chow Yun Fat because he died and he was an annoying idiot.

On the other hand, i am not your typical movie goer so the above review really shouldn't deter you from watching it because i know that people will love the show and want to see it again and own it on DVD.Making Disney richer and me sadder.
