Summary: Great Movie, Disappointing DVD
Comment: FILM REVIEW (DVD review below):
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" films are achievements in cinema, each grossing huge numbers at the box office (Dead Man's Chest-3rd Highest Grossing Movie ever worldwide) and have a dedicated, loving fanbase. I am a huge Pirates fan and I love the trilogy. Here, we have the 3rd installment, "At World's End", which is a direct sequel to "Dead Man's Chest". In "AWE", Will, Elizabeth, and Barabossa are off to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones Locker so that they reunite the Brethren Court so that they can finally rid the seas of Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett.
That's the main plot. Here, we find many, many subplots that confuse the audience and demand too much attention, and don't get it. Had questions at the end of "Dead Man's Chest"? Well, you may find yourself with a few at the end of this one.
Pros:
*Great acting from Depp and Rush plus another outstanding performance from Bill Nighy as Davy Jones
*Fun-filled action and the best and most epic ship battle ever on film
*A fun story that engages the audience emotionally
*A fantastic musical score from Hans Zimmer
*Many laughs, chills, and thrills that blow the rest of the movies out of the water
*Plenty of emotion and fun
*Keith Richards
Cons:
*Too many subplots
*Too many new variables (Brethren Court, the Calypso plot, etc)
*The new variables don't get much explaining
*Although a bit much and complex, the plot needs strengthening
*Some cheesy sequences
*It "feels" different than the rest of the trilogy
My rating: 4/5
DVD REVIEW:
This 2-Disc "Limited Edition" offers the main film and a collection of special features. On Disc 1, we have the fantastic movie in 16x9 widescreen with 5.1 surround sound plus the feature "Bloopers of the Caribbean". Disc 2 features the goods. Unfortunately, the special features are in limited supply. Whereas P1 and P2 had hours and hours of bonus features, P3 has about less than 2 hours of bonus features. Most features are less than 10 minutes in length and the longest ("Anatomy of a Scene: The Maelstrom") is only about 20 minutes. Sadly, there is no "Making Of" feature (I guess some of the features from P2 count as P3 too). There's some cool features about the music of Pirates, a video about the "Many Jacks" scene, and some insight into the art and design. That's about it. Very disappointing but still a must buy for Pirates fans. All in all, this DVD set is good for Pirates fans but doesn't deliver like its predecessors.
My rating: 3.5/5

Summary: The curse of the second sequel
Comment: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) should have been titled Being Jack Sparrow, the Lord of the Pirates or the Curse of the second sequel. It was too long, slow, convoluted, and dark, and by dark I mean, visually dark and not interesting. The most beloved character, Jack Sparrow did not show up until the end of the first hour into the movie, and the scene of his first appearance was the best, the funniest, and sadly, the only scene in the movie that I liked. It showed Jack Sparrow trapped on the sea of sand in Davy Jones' Locker as the captain and the multiple members of the crew. The scene brought to memory the famous sequence from Being John Malcovich and it was the highest point of the movie. After that, Jack was moved to the periphery of the plot which was so incoherent that the film creators actually came up with the list of FAQ that baffled moviegoers had about the total mess of the final installment in the pirate trilogy. The list was included with the DVD. The original idea to make a movie based on the popular Walt Disney theme park ride proved to be great for two first movies that are funny and entertaining. The idea to create a philosophical-metaphysical-mythological epilogue to the series in the traditions of Lord of the Rings turned to be disastrous. The movie failed flat in all directions. I was either bored or laughed at the scenes that were not meant to be unintentionally funny. Even appearance of Keith Richards, Johnny Depp's inspiration for the role of Jack Sparrow, as Jack's father did not help much. First two films were exiting, had stunning special effects and awesome achievements in make up. The films breeze freely and move along with great pace. I liked the second movie very much because the way its creators prepared us for the third film was very clever. The final chapter, sadly, was ambitious and ponderous mess.
2.5/5

Just when he s needed most, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), that witty and wily charmer of a pirate, is trapped on a sea of sand in Davy Jones Locker. In an increasingly shaky alliance, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) begin a desperate quest to find and rescue him. Captain Jack s the last of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court who must come together united in one last stand to preserve the freedom-loving pirates way of life. From exotic Singapore, to World s End and beyond, from Shipwreck Island, to a titanic battle, this adventure s filled with over-the-edge action, irreverent humor and seafaring myth and magic. Everything has led to this twisting, turning, wild swashbuckling ride in this final chapter of the Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy.
