Amazon.co.uk Review
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: 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 The Curse of the Black Pearl, 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

 Beware - have you rented the film? April 27, 2008

Ordered the film via Amazon DVD rental - sat down on a Sunday afternoon to watch film to find that this was the bonus disc and not the actual film. This is the second time that this has now happened via the DVD rental service - if you buy the film you get both discs if you rent you get just one at a time - be very careful that you add the actual film to your rental list and not the bonus disc. Have now cancelled rental service.
In the same league as rocky 5. JUST!! April 20, 2008

I loved the first two Pirate films and loved the cliffhanger at the end of Dead Man's Chest. Eagerly awaiting the grand finale which would have put this modern trilogy up with the likes of Indiana Jones and Back to the Future, I was amazed at how badly this film imploded into a load of rubbish.
The plot doesn't make sense, the sexy Keira Knightley is declared King, yes, King! and Jack Sparrow, the only character with any flare, plays second fiddle to the awful acting skills of Orlando Bloom.
I can't stress how bad this film is. I myself have bought the first two blu-rays but have refused to fund this third instalment which is an insult to our intelligence as an audience. And what was the point of Chow Yun Fat being in the film?! He is an awesome actor, but he was completely wasted and the film didn't need him. All we needed was a half decent ending, Captain Jack to make us laugh, and a completely different script.
Blu-Ray quality is excellent, but if you're looking to show off your high def gear, dont use this film, save your cash and show off Beowulf or Ratatouille which are landmark Blu-Ray HD films.
I really wish they had put an ounce of effort into this 3rd installment, I really don't feel any closure and it's such a shame how the franchise has missed out on what could have been a great all round trilogy.

Another fantastic film in the Pirate's trilogy, not quite as good as my favourite - the first one. It ties everything up quite nicely and it is important to watch to the credits to see the ending of the story.
Seeing it on blu ray is like seeing a different film again. Crystal clear pictures giving an almost 3D effect. Once you go to blu ray you spoil yourself, dvd just doesn't look the same again.
Definitely a must buy and don't forget to watch the extras. The extras really make you appreciate the manpower and just what goes into making movies like these. Right down to something you only see briefly on the screen to hand picking locations, no matter how hard they are to get to.
Definitely a sequel too far. March 6, 2008

After the first excellent "Pirates" film and a very enjoyable second one, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing how the story would be tied-up in this third and final part. What we got, however, was just badly thought out and far-fetched rubbish set in a complete fantasy world which I could barely keep up with.
It is little more than three hours of elaborate special effects, hashed together without the support of any kind of credible script. By half way through, I was completely lost as to what was going on and falling asleep because it is impossible to keep up with who is dead and who is alive, or who is on who's side! I thought maybe my understanding would improve as I watched it again, but sadly after several attempts I am still none the wiser. It is also way too long - three hours was unnecessary.
The characters are mostly the same, with a few added. Orlando Bloom's character seems to get completely lost and lacks the depth of the earlier Will Turner, and Elizabeth has become an oddly-dressed tomboy. Of course, the best is still Jack Sparrow, played hilariously by the marvellous Johnny Depp.
A very disappointing end to what should have been a great trilogy. If this is the best the writers could come up with then they should have left it at two films. Or maybe even just the one.
