Review by Jennifer Pflughaupt for The Mungles on
Movies
FINALLY, it is complete! "The Pirates of the
Caribbean: At World's End" is the third and irrefutable
end to the extremely successful Disney-ride based
Pirate trilogy. As a child I went to Disneyworld and I
rode that very ride. Fourteen years later I heard that
there was this flick coming out based on my favorite
ride and I was totally excited, but a little worried at how
Disney was going to make a decent Pirate film based
solely on their theme park ride. But, as you ride a
rollercoaster over and over again, it just gets more
exhilarant each time.
The same goes for "The Pirates of the Caribbean"
films. Each time you watch, you want more. This third
installment definitely lives up to the hype. You get all
the swashbuckling, pirate adventure you can handle
and then some. As I fear to give away any surprises, I
will not give a synopsis or details of the plot in this
review. This is one film that you don't want to hear
anything about, except for if it is worth paying the price
of admission at the theater. IT IS! However, I will
touch on a few things. A warning to those wanting to
just see "At World's End" who haven't seen the first
and especially the second one: SEE THE FIRST TWO
OR YOU WILL BE TOTALLY LOST! I saw the first two
and still the writing is a bit confusing at times and I
found it hard to follow for most of the film until 2 hours
later when they started tying everything together and it
became much easier to understand who was who,
and where was what and so on. That is marketing at
its finest.
If you like the movie and you don't know exactly what
you just watched, you will pay for another viewing
because you want to see the little, minute details you
think you missed that could explain a question you
have now that you have seen the entire story from
cover to cover. It is a long movie (168 minutes to be
exact), so be sure to use the bathroom before you sit
in the theater. The acting, once again is superb and
there are a few new characters in the film that you
might find interesting. If you know the behind the
scenes trivia of any of the Pirate movies and the
actors, you will go in and see. You'll have that whole
Jesus effect; "OOOOOHHHHH!" (And then hopefully
laugh.)
The
first two films were a bit lighter and more humorous than this last
one. At World's End is a perfect description for the tone of the
story. As one can imagine, the world's end is probably not the ideal
vacation spot. It would seem to me that the world's end is dark
and violent and that is exactly how this adventure is shown throughout
the film. But, it is exactly that - an adventure! I give "The Pirates
of the Caribbean: At World's End" 4 out of 5 Calypsos. Rated PG-13
for intense sequences of action/adventure violence and some frightening
images. (For those of you with young children, use caution going
into this one. It is much more violent than the first two.)
