Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy, Chow Yun-Fat

Dir. Gore Verbinski
Scr. Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio

This review is going to be very, very short. There is no way I will even attempt to outline the convoluted and over-long plot, and no point in highlighting the good bits and bad bits (Johnny Depp = good bits, no Johnny Depp = bad bits, end of story). The first Pirates movie was entertaining – kudos to producer Jerry Bruckheimer and the genius of Depp for making pirates cool again. The problem is that’s where it should have stopped. The sequel was merely a placeholder for At World’s End. And At World’s End is, simply put, tiresome. Avoid.
