Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

Synopsis: Jack's dead. Or is he? His crew doesn't think so because they go to the world's end to Davy Jones' Locker to get him back. Why? Because the East India Trading Company is being a bitch under Beckett. They're such bitches that they decided to use Davy Jones' heart to control the seas and destroy Piracy once in for all. So the breatherns of piracy decided to get together and make one last stand. That's the main plot of it anyways. But this movie is at least 10 layers deep. Enough to give you a head ache with all the backstabbing and alliance switching that goes on. But that's all in the daily life of a pirate. So drink up me hardy yo' ho!

Should You Watch It? If you have seen the first two then you will automatically see this one. It's a given. If you haven't seen the first two then you probably haven't seen them because of choice either because your bs friends lied to you and said they weren't good or perhaps you have a phobia of pirates. Either way, it's either a yes or no and most of the people will say yes so I won't waste time convincing you.

Things to Watch Out For: This movie is crazy! And I mean that in the best way possible. This movie is so action packed and filled with so much drama it will make your head spin. It's hard to keep focused with so much going on at the same time and continuous. The comic relief isn't enough to keep you on a even keel this time. So prepare yourself, or just bring some rum.

Things You Don't Expect: Chow Yun-Fat is a helluva pirate! He plays a hardcore Chinese pirate and they did it pretty authentic. They changed the music score a bit too much for my liking but it still did its job. And this movie, seeing how it was the end of three great movies, wasn't really emotional. I really thought it would have a more emotional kick in the end but oh well... it was still a satisfying ending to say the least.
