Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

I’ve really grown to hate most movie reviews as I’ve noted below. I guess I really miss the days when you’d get to hear about the good things in a movie in addition to the things the critic may have had issues with.

Given that I’ll be brief about my impressions about the third Pirates movie: if you liked the first two you’ll like the third. They carry on with the supernatural elements of the story nicely, and all said things mesh together pretty well. Long before the big events of the end of the story you have a pretty good idea what is going to happen, but getting to see how things pan out is quite enjoyable.

No, like the other movies in the series it isn’t a deeply cognitive cinematic event designed to bring you to a higher level of consciousness. But it is fun, exciting, and a bunch of laughs. But then who the fuck always wants to watch heavy stuff? I enjoy all sorts of movies for what they are, and given that Pirates 3 definitely fills its role wonderfully.

For such a fast movie coming up with my favorite moments may be a bit difficult, but here are a few:

•  ”Then to battle we shall go!” Sumbhajee was fucking hilarious.
• Giant Tia Dalma. Pity the movie was done by Disney. You know what I’m talking about.
• “Do you think he plans it all out or makes it up as he goes along.”
• The spyglass penis jokes.
• “You’re mad!” “Well thank god for that, ’cause if I wasn’t this would probably have never worked.”

All said I’d say it is worth seeing in the theater. And coming from me that means a lot since I get out to the theaters only once or twice a year most of the time.
