The third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean, At World’s End, has already hit the theaters this week. I still haven’t seen the film but I already read several reviews. Here’s one from Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm.
I enjoyed the flick much more than Dead Man’s Chest. But I may be in the minority because of my viewing experience. The film is not without it’s problems: too many characters, trying to accomplish too much…etc. But I assure you this is not as thrown together as you might first believe.
All of the characters have motives, and sometimes even secret motives. Everyone is well rounded and three dimensional. But at the same time, it’s hard to keep track of it all. It’s hard to figure out who made what deal with who. It’s hard to figure out what motivates some of the characters, although I assure you, all the characters have an arc of their own.
Honestly, Dead Man’s Chest really bored me. I even dozed off at least 10 minutes of the movie because I was really bored and confused about the whole thing. It’s a relief to know that At World’s End is so much better, but I still have to find that out.
