At World's End

3.5 G's out of 5. I would say it's pretty much on par with the first two films....No Better, no worse. Well I guess you could say it's better than the second film. It is however fairly complicated, but still entertaining. The plot is pretty incomprehensvie with all it's subplots and counter subplots. Even when your paying close attention you may still be scratching your head. You will eventually know whats going on but it just takes longer to sink in. Maybe heavily drinking rum would have helped. It probably couldn't have hurt. When the film started I thought it was going to head down the road of "The Pirates of Penzance"...lol. Did anyone actually get that joke?...Anyone...? You don't see Johnny for probably the first 30 or 40 minutes, but when you do he's something out of Fear and Loathing. "A drug person can learn to cope with things like seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to handle this trip. " Imagine what this film would have been like if Sparrow was based on Hunter instead of Keith. Now that would have been some freaky shit. Seeing Keith as daddy was really cool, even though he wasn't an over the top version of himself. It definitely puts a grin on your face. And after sitting there for nearly 3 hr (don't worry it only feels like 2hrs 15 min...lol) the trilogy is wrapped up. However they do plant the seeds to start up a new trilogy or at least a fourth film.


NOTE: When you see it...b/c you know you are, you will want to stay till the end of the credits. I stayed till the end of the first two films but I forgot to stay till the end this time around. From what I read unlike the first two films it's not a quick clip or a joke but actually part of the overall story. This can now be added to my list of film I complied with scenes at the end of credits.
