Pirates of the Carribean -At Worlds End

I was waiting for this one ever since the second part was released last year. I loved the second part, it was witty, crisp exciting film which moved the story forward and left it at an interesting situation.

Going in here's what i was expecting in this one
  • Cracken.... more of it and jack's battle with davey jones
  • Explanation of barbosa's past and his return
  • Will and boostrap's reunion and eventual rescue
  • Chow yun fat and his story
  • Good old fashioned sword fights

What i got to see was

  • No cracken at all. No explanation of how jack was where he was in the film.
  • Loads of new characters with little or no use. Chow yun fat's role was lesser than expected both in screen time and substance.
  • No explanation of barbosa's past or how he returned
  • Less than expected emphasis on davey jones story
  • Miss swan gets kissed by 3 different men
  • Norrington dies :)
  • The apparent villian changes....
  • You have pirate lords and a pirate king...
  • Black pearl has a new captain :)
  • Loads of emotional crap... with even davey jones getting senti
  • U see davey's real face and his love interest
  • Less witty than the previous installments
  • Something we didn't know abt daveys heart
  • Keith richards in a 2 min appearance... well worth it

Well i found the movie to be too long with some parts of the story not explained fully. The thing that disappointed me the most was that instead of focusing on davey jone being the main villian he becomes secondary to beckett.

Lastly, someone dies, someone is born, flying dutchman must have a captain and at the end jack is in the same position as he was at the start of the first movie. Happy watching... :)
