Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End grossed $963.4 billion over a $300 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2007 and the 41st-highest-grossing film of all time. It is the 3rd film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. It is rated M for moderate violence, supernatural themes (in Australia). The following are the 10 most recent IMDb reviews for the film.
As the king’s forces grow stronger, Will, Elizabeth and Barbosa, together with their crew and some new help must travel to the world’s end in an attempt to bring Jack Sparrow back to the living world. Plenty of perils will have to be faced but their willpower will prove to be tougher.
We follow the adventures of the previous movies’ protagonists, filled with action, suspense and even some laughter from time to time. Their characters, well put into picture and with plenty of surprises, are determined to achieve their goals, no matter the methods. Thus, it manages to keep the viewer interested, in part thanks to its story. Speaking of which, it isn’t anything brilliant or something, but it’s good enough to keep it all together.
In terms of action, you get some intense fighting scenes from time to time, culminating with an epic naval fight, but it also leaves quite a lot of time with more to be desired. They’ve made a lengthy movie, with more than two and a half hours of screen time, fact which doesn’t do it a great favor. It seems over prolonged, having plenty of scenes which present something irrelevant, which could have easily been skipped, just to try and add some more amusement, but often failing in this aspect.
It terms of laughter, this third installment leaves plenty of room for improvement. It does manage to make you laugh from time to time but nothing spectacular. Just some random irony or gags which seem quite forced. In terms of visuals though, everything it top notch. The CGI is very good, managing to amaze with every chance it gets, and it really has time to do it.
As an overall impression, I saw an entertaining movie, which could have been a lot better if it had a shorter length, a better story or a better comical side. As a plus, you get intense fighting scenes, great CGI and an epic final battle. It’s ok, but a bit far from the first movie of the franchise.
Movie Review: “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007)
Shooting back-to-back in season 2005/2006 alongside “Dead Man’s Chest” for budget over half a billion Dollars gathered and executed by Jerry Bruckheimer Films for Disney Enterprises in a major Hollywood release starring Johnny Depp as pirate captain Jack Sparrow, entrapped in Davy Jones locker under fly high, perfectly orgnized directions by director Gore Verbinski.
Keira Knightley, Goeffrey Rush as captain Barbossa and Orlando Bloom must come to terms on the far side of the known world, streaming to ancient Singapore ruler portrayed in splendid make-up effects by HK actor Yun-Fat Chow, when cinematography and production design making waves of timeless high-end visual quality.
As only a twelve minute sequence with Johnny Depp as multiplying “Sparrow” can top the showdown with “Maelstrom” sailing, sword-fighting “Sparrow vs. Jones” proportions to back-to-back confronting characters of Elizabeth Swann & Will Turner to maximum conclusions against the East Indian trading company in mounting charge of fully-nemesis-playing Tom Hollander, as director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer used the production budget wisely.

Warning: Spoilers
It fell short of the first movie, but it tops the second, fourth, and fifth in almost every way. I don’t know why it got so much hate.
Sure, the first half was pretty weird, at times downright random, but the second half is so good it’s certainly worth watching. Much of the movie was spent explaining the oddities in the second film, but the action scenes were amazing. The directing of this movie was fantastic. Some of the shots are downright breathtaking, and I love it.
The acting was also flawless. Johnny Depp nailed the role of Jack Sparrow once again, and Geoffrey Rush, as Barbosa, might as well have been a pirate in reality.
Also, the movie does contain a fair amount of death. James Norrington in particular had a really bad day. Davy Jones’s death wasn’t spectacular, but sometimes, a nice, simple death is good.
It remains somewhat comedic at times, such as when Jack Sparrow kills a clone Jack Sparrow thing in a deranged state in the pirate underworld, and of course, Pintel and Ragetti were there to provide a lot of laughs.
In other words, a truly good, well made movie. It has a few downsides, but still remains the second best movie in the franchise.
