Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

It's too long, there is too much going on, yadda yadda yadda. You are probably hearing all the reviews of negativity about the 3rd (and hopefully not final) Pirates movie. Let me stress to you that, once again, try not to listen to the movie critics. The pirate movies are about being entertained, following the story of Captain Jack Sparrow, his so-called friends and their adventures. This third installment brings imagination, intrigue and of course another delightful pirate portrayal by Johnny Depp.

Some of you were a bit disappointed with Pirates 2, but please, third times a charm? I don't really want to share anything in the movie because I don't want to give anything away. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed Kiera Knightley in this one. Her "I'm a damsel in distress, oh save me" attitude is gone. She is actually in there getting even dirtier this time. As for Johnny, well, what can I say? He's a pirate. I can't even imagine anyone else playing Jack Sparrow. He defines the role with his feminine mannerisms and swagger that have helped him to become the "fabulous" pirate he is today.

After sitting through the 2 hours and 45 minutes, I was satisfied. Oh yes and don't forget to sit through the credits. There is a piece of the movie following the credits that you can't miss. My advice, please pee about 5 minutes before showtime. It really helps.
