Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

It seems today that all that movies are doing is making sequels and trilogies. The main thing when doing this is keeping the same cast, crew and director for the whole process. This makes for a great movie and doesn’t have viewers trying to warm up to a new main character or directing style. Pirates of the Caribbean producers made sure that they did just that. The first Pirates movie sets the stage for greatness, the second then comes mediocre but maintains the allure of the first movie and then of course leaves it open for the possible final chapter, Piartes of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean 1&2) resumes his duties behind the camera and directs this third installment of a Disney World theme park ride. The camera work and cinematography that Verbinski brings is his own and keeps it consistant with the first two movies. Johnny Depp dawns the swashbuckling style that is Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom maintains his undermining and confused Will Turner character and Keira Knightly brings the beauty and brains of Elizabeth Swann back. Bill Nighy (Shaun of the Dead) returns as Davy Jones, Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean 1) puts back on the big hat of Captain Barbossa and Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean 1) plays the ever-so-torn Norrington.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End starts off with Swann and Barbossa in Singapore trying to recruit a crew, ship and most of all the map that will take them to the place that is known simply as Davy Jones’ Locker to recue Captain Jack Sparrow. With the East India Trading Company in control of the Flying Dutchman and its Captain Davy Jones, thanks to Norrington giving them Jones’ heart, he is wrecking havoc on the seas to try and rid the world of all pirates. The seas being overrun all of the pirate lord gather to make a final stand against this threat.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is a fantasic movie that ties up all loose ends that were left open by the second movie and leaves the possibility for a fourth if demand calls for it.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End gets a 4 out of 5.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is defiantly a must own and one should see it in the theaters.
