Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action, largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines ; he chastises "a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults an opponent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty codpiece."! In the previous Dead Man's Chest, Sparrow was killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself, cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not. --A.T. Hurley

An eminent clash between Jack and Davie Jones November 11, 2008
Golden Lion (North Ogden, Ut United States)
1. Culter Becket has decreed a State of Emergency, suspended the right of Habeas Corpus, and Becket orders the pirates to be hung. Becket has gained possession of the heart of Davie Jones. A young pirate starts the song to summon the nine Lord pirates.

6. The pirates want the power of the sea and are hoping Calypso will grant them power. Calypso, Goddess of the sea extends her power into Davie Jones Locker and she helps Jack move the Pearl back to sea.

Every ten years, Davie Jones can come to shore to be with Calypso, the woman, he loves.

Barbosa tells Sao Feng that they have Calypso, bound in chords, hence the meeting of the brethren. Barbosa tempts them by telling them Calypso is in human form and can unleash the power of the sea.

15. Davie Jones attacks Sao Feng and kill him as a canon ball strikes the side of the ship, but not before Sao Feng makes Elizabeth captain of the South Seas.

Boot Strap kills Harrington, as the group attempts escape. A trail of bodies is left for Becket to follow, to shipwreck cove, the gather place of the pirate Lords. Becket has the black pearl and Jack knows he will find the cove. Jack tosses Will overboard and he is captured by Becket.
17. Tia Diam is Calypso. The first pirate court imprisoned her. Davie Jones betrayed her and cut out his heart. Will wants the freedom of his father, who is in servitude to Davie Jones.
18. 1 Day at shore equals 10 years at sea. Davie Jones laments Calypso, 10 years at sea, but not there, at reunion. Calypso tells Davie Jones, "I will be free", "I will give you my heart", "If you had a heart", "my heart will always belong to you." Jack does not think Calypso will be merciful.
19. Jack votes for Elizabeth to be Pirate King and she decides to fight Becket.

The third and final Pirates of the Caribbean is a rollicking voyage in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The acting is great. Special praise goes to Geoffrey Rush who made Barbossa into an interesting character. I actually found myself liking him, something I didn't think I could do after the first film. Much was made of Keith Richard's special performance and international star, Chow Yun-Fat being in the film. The special effects were as great as always. Well done to director Gore Verbinski still manages to hold the film together which is good and Hans Zimmer still delivers an outstanding soundtrack.
My only concern was that it was too long. But the action, as always, is more than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?". The final showdown between Depp and Nighy was fantastic and delivered in many cases. However I must admit that I'm pleased that it's the last movie in the trilogy for it's welcome is beginning to ware out.
This film may have some hiccups and faults but still is a wonderful movie, don't miss it.
So underated. October 4, 2008
