In At World's End, the crew of the Black Pearl has to rescue Jack from Davy Jones locker and reunite the nine pirate lords to defeat Davy Jones.
The biggest problem with this movie is that I think the writers just got lazy and decided not to think up a cohesive story. I have watched this movie over five times and just now do I finally understand what is going. Except for when Calypso explodes into crabs. I still have no idea what was up with that.
Even though the narrative is incredibly confusing, the dialogue between the characters is still quick a witty. Particularly the scenes between Jack and Barbossa. Both of them keep trying to one-up each other to show who's a better captain of the Black Pearl. Those scenes were very funny. The other jokes are bound to get you laughing consistently.
The action is also insane. I check what the budget for this film was on IMDB and it was estimated that it was over $300,000,000! If you are like me and you can't even comprehend that amount of money, then you won't even believe your eyes during the final battle. Even though the budget was through-the-roof, you could see that the money was well spent because the visuals are fantastic. If you didn't like how the Curse of the Black Pearl was almost non-stop action, then you will most likely not care for this because that final battle goes on for roughly 30 minutes. Maybe even more than that!
Keith Richards also makes a cameo as Jack's dad and let's be honest, Keith Richards looks more like a pirate on a good day.
Final Report: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End suffers from a confusing story but is made up for with awesome action.
