Synopsis
Heroes Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are allied with Captain Barbossa in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow from his mind-blowing trap in Davy Jones Locker; meanwhile, the terrorizing ghost ship, 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 Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese pirate Sao Feng. Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle as their lives and fortunes--and the entire future of the freedom-loving pirate way--hang in the balance.
As many others, I was left with a so-so feeling after this movie. Overall, it was a decent flick. Chow Yun Fat didn't have NEARLY as big of a role as he should have, but he did a fine job with what he had to work with. As with the other movies, Geoffrey Rush stole the show in terms of acting. Depp wasn't bad, though nothing like the first movie. Then, there was of course the ever-blase performances by our love-struck duo of Bloom and Knightly. I'm now convinced that their part of the plot was only put in to attract the emo kids. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteGraphically, the scenes were quite well done IMO. The backdrop of the armada against the pirates was fantasitc, as was the part at the world's end. All in all, I'll probably get it on DVD when there's a trilogy pack with all the extended versions in one box (read: Christmas). :)
