Amazon.co.uk Review
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece."

In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley

Shocking
This is a bad bad film. Oh my god it's too long. Oh my god, did anyone think of writing a script worth following? It has no plot. I didn't care what happened to any of the characters. I couldn't be bothered to try to work out who was good, and who was bad. My bum ached. Please don't give any more money to the people who produced this. They shouldn't be rewarded for it. And most of the acting is shocking. Don't say I didn't warn you.

the worst film of 2007
awful,awful,awful film that is one of the most indulgent pieces of rubbish ive seen in quite a while.and it deserved its infamous kicking by mark kermode

Well.......... Not great!
The first film was so perfect that when I heard there would be two more films to follow, I was dubious, not believing that they could recapture the greatness of the first.
I was proved to be completely correct. The second film was, in my opinion, rubbish. However, I tried to remain positive by thinking that the second film in a trilogy is always one with the start of a plot, it being tied up in the third installment and that any second part to a trilogy will lack climatic thrills (other than the completely ludicrous end to Dead Man's Chest where they roll through the jungle on a water mill wheel!) and so, I set my hopes high on the third film. I was very excited when I went to see it in the cinema but was completely let down. there were simply too many 5 minute plotlines that were never tied up and the constant plot twists just got boring - not to mention the sickening marriage of Will and Elizabeth on the boat!

These films started great, tailed off in the middle and fell abysmally at the end - I now refuse to watch the last two films and sit comfortably with Curse of the Black Pearl as cinema gold (if only it were a one off)
