I just rented both At World's End and Order of the Peniseses: The Hairy Frotter porno flick. Both left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Having watched the second Pirates a while ago I forgot what had exactly happened in the movie besides the fact that Davey Jones was running amok, and Jack had a jar of dirt and ended up dying in the gullet of a giant monster.
Which may have made this movie more confusing. But I think it was just confusing anyway.
Annoyances:
- Why oh why did they have to bring back Barbossa? More money? I'm not saying I hated his character, but when someone's dead, they're supposed to STAY dead. And of course they use some lame ass excuse that Voodo girl brought him back to life, but can't bring Jack back to life (supposedly because Jones cursed him), so they have to go over the edge of the world (WTF?!) to the underworld to fetch Jack.
- What's with the edge of the world crap?
- Will Turner's an asshole. Betraying his own girl and all the pirates just so he can rescue his father in a rather ill conceived attempt to get the Black Pearl and go after Jones (and what will he do when he finds Jones? ask him to hand over Bootstrap Bill?)
- Speaking of betrayal, why the hell is everyone double crossing everyone else? There's so many double-crosses in this damn movie it's impossible to figure out who's really working for who. It just makes the movie way too complex.
- You have two huge armadas, one by all the pirates, and one by the British navy working for the trade company. And they never fight. I would have expected this massive battle to end all battles, but the only ships that fight are the Pearl and Jones' ship.
- The end was the worst. Poor Will has to be the next Davy Jones, which means he only gets to be with Elizabeth once every 10 years. Waiting 10 years for sex? Hell, I'd rather be a Vulcan and wait 7 years than wait 10 years.
- oh yea, and no explanation for all the little Jack's running around in the Locker, unless either he's going crazy or those are facets of his personality. Or he's just high.
It could have been a better movie, but the lack of massive sea battles and not being able to sort through the tangled mess of plot lines really made this a ho-hum movie.
