Review: Pirates of Caribbean 3 - At World's End



After Elizabeth (Keira Knightly), Will (Orlando Bloom), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from the clutches of the Kraken, they must face their foes, Davey Jones (Bill Nighy) and Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander). Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Delma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng (Chow-Yun Fat), to a gathering that will make their final stand against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading Company

Today is a very lonely day. Went to church alone. Eat KFC for lunch alone. Watch a movie alone. Jog alone. Finally end my day with eating dinner alone in Permai foodstore. sad sigh...should have just go back to Bintulu.

Get to watch the trailer of Transformer before the movie start. It's sooo sooo very cool, i'm sooo gonna watch it on big screen when it come out. For those of you who haven't see it, go here. Anyway, this movie provide pure 3 hours of non-stop action and there isn't any boring scene at all, unlike spidey 3. Chow Yun Fat really look bad ass, but his time on screen is too short, i think only about 1/5 of the movie or less than that. It doesn't justify why he occupy such a big space in the poster. I think the monkey win Captain Jack Sparrow hands down when it comes to making you laugh. Maybe it's just me but i think Keira Knightly has clearly lost her sex appeal compared to the first Pirates movie in 2003. I think it's her lack of figure maybe. The only time i think she is pretty is in the end when Orlando Bloom kisses her leg, well, at least their is some eye candy there.

The only thing i don't like about the plot is the final battle in the end. Where there is a huge huge fleet of East India company navy verses a very limited fleet of all the pirates lords. Well, i'm expecting a nice epic battle like what u got in Lord of the rings when i saw that scene but it never happens, the ships are for show only mad. The only ships that fight are the Flying Dutchman of Davey Jones and the Black Pearl of Jack Sparrow. The other pirate lords are like cheerleaders only, wtf.

Simply put, this is one of the most satisfying big budget film this year to date. If you haven't see it, help yourself to the cinema as soon as possible, it's good. Let's see whether the upcoming Fantastic Four 2, Transformer, etc can beat it. I want more Chao Yun Fatt... Captain Shao Feng!
