Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
2007-05-28 15:01:00 Weekend Movie Review Last time we saw the swashbucklers they had enlisted the help of Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) and Tia Dalma to bring Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) back from Davy Jones’ locker. To do this Barbossa has to navigate the crew to the end of the world. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) still believes that Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) is in love with Jack and the tension between the two builds throughout the movie. Will must choose between Elizabeth and his Father, Bootstrap Bill, who is enslaved by Davy Jones. Sticking true to the pirate way of life the script has each of the main characters working together, but only doing so to reach their individual goal. There is backstabbing and plot twists galore, which is a credit to the writers. This could have been a very linear movie to write, save Jack – defeat Davy Jones – escape from Cutler Beckett and the army – marry Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner – The End. As it turns out you don’t... More About: Pirates , Caribbean , Pirates of the Caribbean , Pirates of the Caribbean 3 , Rates
