Synopsis:

Johnny Depp reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the third installment, Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End.  Now if you saw the second one you'll remember you were left on an amazing cliffhanger with Jack's friends preparing to go on an adventure to rescue Jack from "the ends of the earth".  The film picks up where the last one left off, the crew signing up the infamous Captain Barbossa from the first film, who captained the Black Pearl.  The entire crew travels, along with a witchy woman (cue the Eagles' music), through challenge after challenge until they finally find Jack.

The Freak's Rating: D- : Hollywood has some formulas I don't believe it will ever relinquish.  The most common one pertaining to this review is that if it makes over 100 million, make a trilogy if at all possible.  The "Pirates" franchise racked up nearly three times that on the first flick, so off the studio heads went to convince the creative team to pump them out like hotcakes.  As an audience member we are usually subjected to stretched out storylines, cliffhangers and ultimately being bored to tears with the franchise at the end.  Nowhere does this formula and result show up better than in the "Pirates" franchise.

This franchise has been overdone in every way imaginable.  Every character has been explained to the point that I couldn't care less about any of them.  Villains aren't scary anymore and the special effects are so obviously fake that you can't even look at them with the slightest ounce of awe.  We have had this filth shoved down our throats.  The first one went down just fine, the second was a little hard to swallow, but with the third one I am gagging.  Keira Knightley continues to only play women with british accents in films.  Orlando Bloom apparently must have a sword to take a part.  Every other cast member including Johnny Depp is incredibly annoying and I just couldn't wait for this to be over.  With a good score, set design, costumes and audio track I can't fail it...but BOY do I want to.  Pirates 3 should be avoided at all costs.  I use the second installment as an audio test as the Blu Ray disc captures the sound in an amazing way, but I will never put this in my player again.  I suggest you pretend the series ended with #2.

Chris's Rating: C- : Considering I hadn't seen the first two films, it wasn't as awful as the Freak makes it out to be, although, to be honest, it was still bad. Try as I could, I just couldn't suspend disbelief.
