Pirates of The Caribbean: At World End

June 6th 2007 01:53
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End
Well, since life is a bit more normal at our home and because our boys have gotten to see the movie on opening weekend and have continually dropped hints to torture their sister (and me!), my hubby and I decided to take our daughter to see it as a birthday gift. (I admit, I was as giddy as my daughter was…and I don’t have a crush on Orlando Bloom). I was excited to spend my money on a movie that was worth the green, and I was NOT disappointed.

Pirate Chow yun Fat makes a decision

The movie begins with a harsh reality of what awaits those who defy Lord Beckett and assist piracy. Then you are swept to Singapore with Elizabeth Swann (reprised by beauty Keira Knightly) teamed with Captain Barbossa (played by the incredibly talented Geoffrey Rush). They discover Will (heart throb Orlando Bloom. my daughter swoons) has been captured by Chow Yun Fat (who is nothing short of spectacular in his performance). World class swordplay quickly ensues and the movie is off and running.


Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly battle on together
The strain of Will and Elizabeth is very noticeable as Will pursues his father’s freedom and Elizabeth endeavors to bring back Jack Sparrow (once again played by the multi-faceted Johnny Depp) to ease her conscience. Neither tell their plans to one another, creating a greater divide between the two.

Armed with a crew, vessel, and charts courtesy of the Asian pirates, they set out to search for Davy Jones Locker in order to rescue poor Jack. Poor Jack indeed! When we first see him, he is trying his best to cope with the madness of being trapped in the locker…or is it his own psychosis? I’ll let you decide. Jack is saved, but is bitter about ever being sent to the Locker to begin with.

Davey Jones is under command of Lord Beckett
There are other plots as well: Lord Beckett is controlling Davy Jones and is making a fortune having him attack the East India Trading Company; Mr. Norrington makes amends for past sins, Calypso the sea goddess must be freed, the nine pirate captains of the world must convene (which produces a hilariously ‘serious’ encounter between Jack Sparrow and his father, Captain Teague, played by legendary Keith Richards); Will and Elizabeth have to get together, Jack must be avenged and some sort of sea battle has to partake (which of course, all happen).

The visual effects are dazzling and the story is amazing. I’ll admit, I was shocked to see who all died (and who all were brought back). At World’s End is nothing less than a

rollercoaster ride, and I loved every minute of it. And although this was supposedly the end of the Pirates saga, there is a suitable margin for yet another movie – with Jack once again on the heels of Barbossa. Oh how I wish they would make another!

I can’t say that this is the best of the three movies, because I give them all 5 out of 5 stars. (Families: smaller youngsters may be frightened by the violence and scary images). I can say, however, that this is my blockbuster movie pick of the summer. I highly recommend it! You’ll get your money’s worth.
