Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Director: Gore Verbinski
Year: 2007
Stars: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush
Funnily enough, I've seen this before. But it was Boxing Day and I was in the mood for some swashbuckling fun. The plot is somewhat too convoluted to explain in a paragraph, but basically Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) needs to be saved from death in order to gather together the nine Pirate Lords. From there, things get more complex...
Not as good as the original Pirates, but far better than the second offering. The more times I watch it the more I enjoy it - possibly because I understand it better! There are also lots of nice nods to the first movie which you might not pick up on if you haven't seen either movie a few times. Yes, there are plenty of silly moments, but many of these have grown on me over time. The fact that the first movie was so good is going to hinder any sequel, but in comparison to a lot of the films out there, this is still great fun.
Rating: 4 out of 5
