Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End
on DVD
(2007)
Starring: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley
Director: Gore Verbinski
Certificate: 
A film that really felt like the writers had just given up and would write anything to tie up loose ends, but, actually just made the story over complicated and uninteresting. I loved seeing the first rate ships in the film, they looked really nice on screen and were done well, yet they completely spoiled it by not even showing even one firing its full broadside. Why at the end did the entire east india company (the idea that they would have had an armarda of rated ships is just nonsense) with their huge fleet just turn around and run off because they lost one ship (which was another joke in itself, which could never happen). The worst ending to a film that I have seen in a long time. Again, it was lazy writing. They had an oppertunity to make something on screen in parallel to trafalgar on a bigger scale that had never been attempted on film before and possibly have one of cinemas greatest sceens, They certainly had the time at 3 hours long. Instead they opted for biggest load of rubbish since Gigli. I guess maybe I'm asking to much of a high budget hollywood kids film. I was foolish to expect this film to at least cater to people with IQs above 70 not just children. The ignorance shown for the era they were in was unbelieveable. Only the part with depp in the desert and the way the ship of the lines looked on screen get it a 1 star. Otherwise it would have got a zero. Maybe if I'd watched it with my neice I wouldn't be so bitter.
