I post again!

This post is a review of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 - At World's End. If you have not seen it thus far, and plan to see it soon, I suggest that you not read this post, for it will contain many spoilers.

Let's see, where to start? The first scene seems a little out of place. Millions of people are being hanged just for possibly being within a twenty mile radius of someone who could have been a pirate. A kid, about to be hanged starts to sing, and the rest of the crowd, awaiting their deaths, keep the song going, even after he's dead.

The Second Scene is more what we came expecting to see, Elizabeth (singing the same song as the crowd of people) rows down a river in the middle of Singapore. She pulls the boat up at a dock, and is met up by Barbossa, and a couple of scary foreign pirates, who take them to see the Lead Foreign Pirate, Sao Feng. A long talk commences, in which we learn that Will has been sent to steal some charts, and that the brethren court is about to convene. Apparently, the brethren court is a meeting of all nine Pirate Lords, and Sao Feng is one of them. Jack is another. All nine pirate lords MUST attend the brethren court, and so Barbossa and Co. want to borrow a ship from Sao Feng to go and get Jack from Davy Jones' Locker.

hmm... this is more of a summary than a review. Let's see if I can change that...

At World's End was a very good movie. the acting was wonderful, the music was awesome, but a couple of the plot twists could have been much better. For instance, throughout the movie, the writers were setting up that somebody was going to take Davy Jones' place. the big candidates were Will and Jack. I don't think either should have done it, though, because throughout the whole movie various characters were discouraging Jack from stabbing the heart and taking over as Captain of the Flying Dutchman. This puts him out of the running, since that would just be a waste of good movie time and plot development if he didn't take their advice. Will, on the other hand, could do it, but that meant that he would only be able to spend one day every ten years with Elizabeth, who he does end up marrying in this movie. While he will live forever, Elizabeth won't. Obviously that won't work out. SO, during the movie, I looked around for a substitute, figuring that neither Jack nor Will would stab the heart, and wanting to be able to anticipate the person who would. just as I had started, there was a scene between Norrington and Elizabeth where he let her out of the brig and redeemed himself. I realized that he would be a really good captain of the Flying Dutchman. He couldn't, though, for he died before the scene was over. In the end Will got the Dutchman, thanks to Davy Jones. Jack was all set to stab the heart, but then Davy Jones stabbed Will through the chest. Will had to stab the heart then...

So it ends, with Will sailing away to do his Davy Jones' things, and Elizabeth is left all alone on some island. Wouldn't it have been much better if Norrington had gotten it instead?

Except for that one thing, the movie really was good. I enjoyed it immensely.
