POTC3: At World's End (2007)

The movie starts of with a lot of singing; pirates at death-row humming at the gallows.. & LizzySwan too sings the same tunes while she rows to meet Singaporean pirate-lord . The initial premise is continuing the promise from the previous movie; find Capt. Jack Sparrow & bring him back from Davy Jones' locker.

I think the music was better used in this one...or maybe there was a much better scope for music other than the usual theme-song. 25 mins into the movie, & there's no Depp on screen! & then we get to see about 25 of him in the same scene. Whoever thought of this scene (including the crab-conveyor-belt) must be congratulated. It indeed is a visual treat. & so's the up-is-down rock-the-boat madness.

This isn't the kind of movies you can critique without contradicting your previous reviews. it's a theme-park ride, don't try to make any more of it.

I had several questions regarding Tia Dalma/Calypso, but I'll let it rest. & the unexplained dead Kracken?? They had too many loose ends to tie.. & there were so many ppl trying to kiss Lizzy. I thought Calyspo's 50-ft woman would a game-changer, but all she did was create a 20min whirlpool for the climactic battle. But you do get to see what Jack does best, swing acrobatically from ropes & well-choreographed sword-fights.
