Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End

Hmm.

6/10.

A mess.

Some very spectacular scenes, plus the odd really good bits & funny bits (Geoffrey Rush was excellent as always, the monkey was funny, & Keith Richards was great in his little cameo), but.... a mess.

At one point one of Lord Beckett's men said to him, regarding Jack Sparrow, "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?".

I think the same could be said of Verbinski & the writers.

Pirates 1 - excellent.

Pirates 2 & 3 - OK, but rather nonsensical (especially no.3), definitely too long, & full of bits where they must have gone "Oh, we've still got loads of money left from the budget...what pointless OTT bit should we tack on now?".
