Well I don't know whIch 'film' most of these people watched, but when I watched the film in Scarborough, North Yorkshire and the Cinema was packed. With kids, mum's and dad's, teenagers, and pensioners. They had all turned up to see a 'pirate film'! The kids screamed and shouted, laughed and cried and enjoyed a really good fun film, I thought it was the best of the three, The audience all came out chatting, laughing and discussing the best bits of the film, sometimes peopke try and read too much into film's. Why can't they let their hair down and just enjoy!

unfortunately i do agree that Depp lost alot of his energy but this was apparent in the second film too. However, i agree with Caetlin- though i was disappointed, what the hell, just enjoy it and stop reading so much into it.

This was beyond overkill, I was waiting for a character to use moves from the Matrix as this movie compiled enough action sequences for nine movies from every genre. I was bored to tears and my eyes hurt trying to follow the action, useless dialouge, and CG effects. Thank God I was at a drive in movie theater I was able to sleep for about 45 minutes and had no problem waking up and without missing any necessary information. My children who were fans of both 1 and 2 and excited about 3 immediately went to sleep. I was not shockingly disappointed because I was not so fond of 2 as everyone was. I will miss those nearly three boobless hours I spent dozing in and out of consciousness but what did I expect admission was only $3.99!

No new ideas in the last 10 years? I'll give you 3: Being John Malkovich, Adaptation & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I'm reminded of a comment by Jean-Luc Goddard. He said, "The problem with French cinema is a lack of money. The problem with American cinema is a lack of ideas." And this was back in the 1950s and 60s!! Hollywood has NEVER had an original idea. It is a very rare thing for a Hollywood studio release to be artistically successful and when that happens, history remembers the director, not the studio, and rightly so. How many people remember which studios financed most of Hitchcock's films? In any case, I think Pirates 3 is the best concluding entry in a franchise of this type for a little while. Still disappointing, though.

to jonathan and ann: Lighten up people, this is not meant to be a mind challenging film, try watching it agian with all your prejeduces removed and enjoy the ride! this is a fun family film, who cares if it was based on a ride, it delivers everything a good film should do. well worth watching!

Caetlin Brooke-Kingston, Epsom,

In reply to Ann in USA: no hollywood hasn't had an original idea in decades because audiences won't watch them. Films that combat issues in society or are a work of a script writers pure genius aren't watched because we as an audience don't like to watch films that challenge our moral standings. I know I'm quoting british films here.. but I'm british! This is England. How many of you will actually go and watch it? It's a film looking at how England really is but no-one wants that reality.
Pirates is a true phenomenon as films of this genre are usually massive flops. Pirates is a theme park ride, not a book therefore the script and the film itself is an imaginative story. The ride has no story behind it therefore the ideas are original.
As for the happy ending, I think its better this way, it's a pirates film do you think there really were happy endings in those days? Instead the film keeps about it, a sense of reality, well that's my opinion anyway.

Why is anyone even watching this drivel? It's a theme park ride, for God's sake! Hollywood -- much less Disney -- hasn't had an original idea in over a decade.

Mind-numbing and incomprehensible sensory overload.

jonathan, cambridge, cambs

I hate this ending too. Really, I don´t understand why... haven´t they live happily together? This is cruel.

Ivette, TT,

I hated the ending, Elizabeth ending up with will really sucked, I wanted her to end up with Jack but then again its unreal ending. To sit there and tell me she is willing to wait 10 years for one night with Will is just unthinkable when she could be sailing the world with Jack. I just dont see what they were thinking with this ending, I can understand her loving Will enough to keep him in her heart always but not Pine for him guarding a chest for 10 years while someone she loves alot sails the world alone.

I just think they blew the ending, let her end up with Will but she should of sailed off with Jack while waiting makes way more sense.

I forgot to add a few things to my review. One, some people should stop trying to over annalyze movie plots and aspects, and two they should just enjoy the movie without hurting their brain. If you're going to go to a movie just to sit there and be judgemental and crude, maybe you should go into a hole and read a boring history book and try to find the meaning of that. Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End is a great movie that should not be brought down.

Sarbear, South Range,

i ABSOLUETLY LOVED the movie. I thought it was better than the first and second one. I didn;t really understand the Calypso idea and I didn't really like the ending. I liked it though, and I think that it deserves all five stars. I'm happy that it didn't have too many "creatures", and I thought the multilple Jacks to be funny and interesting in the personality department. Like I said, I ABSOLUETLY LOVED THE MOVIE!!

Sarbear, South Range,

Now tell us what you REALLY think!

Tony Lee, New York,

A very eloquent review and most likely accurate although I haven't seen the sequel yet. Although in defense of Mr. Depp (I dont know why) his acting talent should be able to get him over any typecasting that may result from his latest adventures as Cap Jack, after all he made it beyond Edward Scissorhands and the choc'ed up Charlie. Maybe the greater problem is directors like Burton that seem to think Depp is their "man".

So it`s yet another film I bring my kid to and fall asleep. It will probably make millions as did the first two.
