Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) could be the most fun you have at the movies this summer. If you liked the first two movies at all, there's a pretty good chance you're going to like this one.

This movie truly has something in it for everyone: action, comedy, twists and turns, and even a sappy love story. Young and old will find this movie appealing. The actors have refined their roles to near perfection by the third time. Johnny Depp gives a great performance as Captain Jack Sparrow. He is as funny, quirky, and down-right as weird as ever. We even get a glimpse as to why he is so strange at times. I'll give you a hint...it has something to do with a mental condition. Jack's entrances into the first two movies were great and this one is probably even better. You'll be surprised as he somehow manages to get the Black Pearl out of the middle of the desert.

Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner fall in and out of love throughout the trilogy, and even more so in the third installment. They both do a wonderful job of portraying their characters. We even get to see some of the back story to the infamous Davy Jones. Apparently, he wasn't always a tentacle-faced freak. He even loved someone once, but we don't want to spoil the movie for you., that's for me to know and for you to find out.

The movie weighs in at about three hours. So be sure and go to the bathroom ahead of time. Chances are you won't want to miss a second. There really isn't any part of those three hours that is boring. The plot goes one direction and then back to another. There's a high likelihood that you will get confused at some point. You'll wonder which side most of the characters are on. However, throughout the changes in direction, the action and irreverent humor never stops. It all leads up to a climactic battle in the center of a whirlpool. The Flying Dutchman and The Black Pearl stage a battle for the ages.

Even Keith Richards, the rock legend, makes a wonderful cameo appearance as Jack's father. The resemblance is uncanny. Seeing his performance makes you wish that he wasn't drunk all the time. Then he may have had a bigger role in the movie. Nevertheless, it is a very nice addition. The one thing that was kind of anti-climactic in the movie was the appearance of the goddess Calypso. She really doesn't do nearly as much as you expect her to. However, she is pretty cool regardless.

Be sure and stay until after the credits also. They give a little more closure to the story and increase your hopes for another sequel. Just be prepared for the longest credits in the history of the world.

Overall, I would highly recommend this movie. There's a good chance that you and your family will love it. I'd like to see it again already. Disney has put out another great movie that nearly everyone will enjoy. It's not just for kids and it's not just for adults. Be prepared for a really entertaining time at the movies.
