During his interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Gore Verbinski said he doesn't like movies that are perfect. "As long as there's chatter, then there's at least a kind of visceral response." Well Mr. Verbinski, I can safely say that your movie is not perfect, yet you can give the audience a movie that thrills.
If you don't know it already, I'm a huge sucker for the Pirate movies. All three are visually exciting and provide great popcorn entertainment. Though each one has steadily decreased in a story, the visuals and the weirdness of Johnny Depp's take on Jack Sparrow demands to be seen.
Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker. The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic
Well, I think that's what happening. There is so much going on that you tend to lose track of things. But At World's End is better than Spiderman 3 because the film knows that the plot is beyond ludicrous. This is pirate eye-candy even if you think Jack Sparrow is gay or not.
To the extent, I really didn't mind that this movie was a mess. The last hour is a rousing spectacle, both for the eyes and heart. It makes the first two hours almost (I said almost) worth seeing in full and it brings the third Pirates movie to a spirited close.
P.S: Stay after the credits and it gives you insight on something that happens in the first scene of the movie.
