Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End
>> Thursday, May 24, 2007
Watched this show with a whole bunch of aero ppl at The Cathay. Basically for me, Pirates 1 was not bad, Pirates 2 was quite lousy, and Pirates 3 is a whole bunch of crap. Pirates 3 is purely a money making machine that churns out swashbuckling action mindlessly. People who missed Pirates 2 will be scratching their heads during certain parts of the movie.
The story is about some pirates wanting to save Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones locker and they travel to the far reaching ends of the world to rescue him. After freeing him from his world full of illusions, they then fight against Davy Jones, his crew and the British from East India Trading Company. Put it simply, this whole movie is half a rescue mission and half a fighting show. The special effects are mind boggling and the action is brash, loud and chaotic. This movie lacks something which is essential for a decent show, a good storyline. Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley couldn't save the show from sinking and Orlando Bloom is just the male version of the 'vase'. Some parts of the movie was rather exciting but the action gets a tad too repetitive. After watching the show, i felt neither entertained nor satisfied. It's one of the shows which we ask ourselves, what's the whole point about it?

I so agree with you Gun Kiat.
Pirates was a utter piece of nonsense.
Especially the part where Keira Knightley made that George Bush like speech about working together to defeat the greater evil.
Man, Michael Moore would put Jerry Bruckheimer to complete shame.
A sequel that has gone on too long for its own good and a complete load of bullocks from Hollywood.
I seriously hope Transformers won't be such a bad letdown after watching Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3.
Ya, hopefully other summer blockbusters are better. :)
Oh for me I hope Shrek 3 and Ocean's Thirteen won't be too bad. =)
I hope the Bourne Ultimatum will be good. I think it will be good actually.
