[Highly rated reviewer]
Though this is a long voyage (at 168 minutes !) in many ways 'Worlds End' is even more immense and pleasurable than 1 and 2, the humour and story plot (ably aided by our home talent of McKenzie Crook, Kevin Mcnally, Keira Knightly.. etc etc) is superb.
Without spoiling anything, the lords of the Pirates from the four corners of the globe must put their internal squabbles and infighting on the back burner (not apparently an easy task !) to collect together to fight off the dominance of the East India Trading companies grip on the high seas, and their popular (ha !) member Jack Sparrow must (to their dismay) be rescued from the grip of the Kraken to aid them in their endeavour.
For our family this isn't just a film... it's an event... and we were thoroughly and absolutely absorbed by this. It is fantastic, entirely what cinema is about and shouldn't be missed by anyone young or old.
A most definate recommendation !!
[Highly rated reviewer]
OK, so one star may be a little harsh - as a stand-alone film it maybe deserves 2, but I can really find little to recommend in this epic snooze-a-thon.
It is, without a doubt, the worst threequel since Matrix Revolutions punished us with tedium in 2003.
Jack Sparrow has lost all of his creative and comic edge that made the first two movies so enjoyable, and Bloom and Knightley are more wooden than the timbers of the Black Pearl itself. As for the plot - what plot? If you look back on it, it makes absolutely zero sense as a coherent film, but I won't post spoilers here. This was a child's stream of consciousness put on screen with hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into it, where less could have been a lot more.
And as for the humour of the first two films, I laughed twice during the entirety of this film, once at a Sparrow one-liner, and the other time when a monkey holds a parrot at gunpoint. If you don't find that funny, please don't even consider watching this... Makes the disappointing Spider-Man 3 look like this Summer's masterpiece. Roll on Transformers...
It takes an age before Johnny Depp shows his face in Pirates the Third, and when he does, it's the tip of his nose that looms into screen left, eventually succeeded by a flaring nostril. I doubt there's been a larger, longer close up of a proboscis this side of Seabiscuit. There's no rhyme or reason for it, really, but our indulgence is rewarded when not one, not two, but an entire crew of digital Johnnies hive into view, flouncing and flailing for all they are worth. One even lays an egg.... Read more
