At Worlds End Everyone is a Captian

The Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End was a movie that is defiantly is worth seeing in the theaters. For a third part of a trilogy it did not meet the lack luster expectation one might hold to expect from the end of a trilogy. The whole movie was crammed with action and the plot will keep you guessing till the very end. It almost became predictable though in the sense because it seemed almost everyone got the title captain “They're just giving that title away” – Jack Sparrow and everyone was very busy stabbing everyone else in the back to meet their wants and needs.

At points though it was almost confusing as to what everyone was thinking, because of all the traitorisms and switching of ones goals. In the end, everything worked out in a sad yet unpredictable way for Disney. Some loose ends were left because the movies makers were trying to cram more action at the end rather than finishing up the story.

There is new joke material in this movie, such as Captain Jack’s hallucinations, so it’s not the same old rehashed jokes from the previous two trying to release some tension and make the movie more family friendly, while not making a new movie at all. Except for the sea turtle joke, which I believe was mentioned twice in the whole movie.

Also lots of new pirate faces appear in this one and they were all very unique and interesting, with a nice touch of added female roles in leadership positions. Some of the new pirates are from Singapore which one could clearly see were of Asian decent because of all the detail spent on costuming and stages/props for these characters.

The movie though is a bit drawn out to make it seem more epic, and it did fall short of ones expectations of how "dark" this one was suppose to be compaired to the others.

Overall I would believe this movie is a 4 out of 5.
