Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End Reviews

Just how much are you willing to forgive Johnny Depp and that sea-dog swagger of his?

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

While it fails in matching the unpredictable excitement of the original, this is more of what I'd want in Pirates sequels. Just a little less of it.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

If nothing else, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End's ambition and moral ambiguity still set it apart from the pack, but as a send off to the trilogy it staggers across the finish line more than winning out right.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

Another piddling blockbuster with delusions of 'darkness'

Full Review

[Verbinski] borrows from a half-dozen mythologies to construct a fitting punishment for the culture of narcissism, compulsive consumption, and greed that makes movies like this one necessary.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a hearty, bumpy sea marathon. For some, it will be a fun ride; for others, it will be an ordeal. I'm somewhere in between.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Ho-hum, ho-hum - it's the same old bilge again!

a little disapointing, but still fun

| Original Score: 3.5/5

A few laughs, some fantastic CGI and a great cameo from Keith Richards aside, this is turgid and tiresome.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Both sequels to the original film are confusing and long. But the third does improve on the second, because at least something happens.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

At World's End's greatest sin, just like the second film, is that it forgets to be fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

It's unlikely many fans will have the patience to sit through this soulless, yet visually enticing voyage to nowhere more than once.

Full Review | Original Score: C

Although visually impressive, At World's End is a bitter disappointment considering how fresh and exciting the crew was just a few years ago.

Full Review

Not for the logically minded or the seasick prone, the film, like its two predecessors, is a dizzing concoction of multiple simultaneous stories taking place either in the real world or anybody's unhinged imagination, take your pick.

For a long time -- although definitely not all the way to the interminable finale of this whale of a nautical exercise -- you're likely to enjoy what you'll see

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Swashbuckling action, but too many puzzling plots.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

When it hits, it is absolutely the best of the three films, but when it misses, it is endlessly tedious.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

Yo ho ho and a bottle of regulations!...has the soul of a three-hour U.N. committee meeting. Gods' bodkins, me hearties, this movie blows like a whale from the vasty deep.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

POTC: At World's End strives for epic-ness, but it's not an epic. It's fluff. And fluff should never, ever exceed more than 1 hour and 47 minutes, including end credits.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The best in the series.
