Pirates of the Caribbean: 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 On the DVD
Here's something you can't say about just any DVD extras: There appears to be more of Keith Richards in the outtakes, interviews, and other special features on the At World's End disc than in the actual film. For those scenes alone, this special edition is well worth the price. Richards looks as woozy and gamey as all the rumors suggested, and answers questions he's not asked, with Johnny Depp sitting next to him, almost acting as a translator. Richards offers pithy comments like, "Everything I do is original, you better believe," and smiles when other cast members call him "Two-Take Richards" for supposedly nailing his scenes. The packed second disc also includes a terrific mini-doc on how the filmmakers created the famous maelstrom, in an enormous hanger in Palmdale, California, with the ships floating 30 feet off the ground. "Just moving the Black Pearl was an enormous undertaking," says producer Jerry Bruckheimer with serious understatement. Other cool extras include "Tale of the Many Jacks," deleted scenes with great commentary, "The World of Chow Yun-Fat," a bio of composer Hans Zimmer, features on the set designers, a look at the impressive Brethren Court, and some hilarious bloopers. "You can't curse in a Disney film," deadpans Depp when a costar blurts out something blue. "See? I told him." The extras are truly as much of a rollicking adventure as the film. --A.T.

 Another stellar performance by Johnny Depp July 4, 2009
CK (Honolulu, HI USA)
I think I still like the 2nd Pirates the best, but as a Pirates & Johnny Depp fan, World's End is no less entertaining. I thought parts of it were a little drawn out but the Bonus Features are totally worth watching & enhance appreciation of whole mega-production & special effects. The only really lame scene I thought was the wedding in the midst of the big deck battle. And the part where Keira Knightly screams a pep talk to the crew was a little annoying but all-in-all another great adventure film & must-have for any fan of the Pirates trilogy.

...is more like it.
Hello??? Pirates of the Caribbean is about SKELETON pirates. LOGICALLY, the third film should have been SKELETON pirates against Davy Jones Fish crew with a huge battle at the end featuring--yep-you guessed it--SKELETON pirates. LOGICALLY.
What exactly was this film about exactly? About 3 hours too long.
Don't waste your time on it.
 At World's End is one of the worst movies in the history of the world. June 16, 2009
Seth Death (Panama City, FL)
I'm pretty sure I've already said it all. You've probably already wasted three hours of your life watching it but for those of you that have not... heed my words... don't waste your time.
Overlong, Aimless, and Just Plain Boring June 13, 2009
Robert Hart (West Lafayette, Indiana United States)
It's a real shame that such gorgeous production design was wasted on a mindless, amusement park-minded exercise in Box Office Blockbuster stupidity.
Piracy in colonial America was a very real, frightening part of U.S. history that greatly impacted foreign trade and high seas legislation. Too bad filmgoers haven't been treated to a historically accurate depiction of that era. Real-life 18th Century pirates such as Calico Jack, Charles Vane, and Blackbeard are far more interesting than Disney's hodgepodge of actors/acrobats. With the exception of Depp's Keith Richards-inspired charm from the first film, there are few noteworthy performances in these over-long, make-it-up-as-you-go films. "At World's End" is simply the third film in an average-at-best franchise that should've called it quits after the first outing.
