Namrata Joshi Outlook What began as a thrilling and engrossing entertainer ends up as a terribly tedious franchisee -- the convoluted plot leaves you more confused than involved. Rated: 2/4 Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins An epic finale, this overlong, overstuffed film manages to neatly resolve all the loose ends from the previous entry, even if it takes considerable time to do so. Rated: 5/10 Nov 27, 2020 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is marginally more coherent than last year's sequel-a very small mercy. It is, however, just as bloated, requiring a level of familiarity with both its predecessors. Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News At World's End is nearly three hours long, so it does feel a little padded, but for the most part the film moves at a reasonable pace - even if it almost stumbles to the finish while trying to tie up all the loose ends. Rated: B- Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rohun J Imagine being two pirates, fighting side by side through waves of enemies, caught on one of two ships circling each other in a massive whirlpool. Cannons are firing non-stop, rain’s pouring, lightning’s striking, and in the middle of it all, you get married by the CAPTAIN of the ship while he’s fighting off multiple people at once on his own. You share a married kiss as chaos erupts around you and Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack goes all out in the background. Davy Jones is easily one of the most complex and interesting characters of all time, and his love story with Calypso adds way more depth than you'd expect. Honestly, the two films that came after are nothing more than a fan-fiction to me. For me, the franchise ends here, and it concludes perfectly, exactly how it should. This is one of the best franchises ever made. It has the best aspects of action, romance, betrayal, adventure, and a soundtrack that runs through my veins which me ascend every single time. I can't wait to watch hans zimmer play it all live in 5 months time. They've been completely sold out 8 months in advance for a reason. I need to be fused with this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review David G. No other movie has a wedding where the bride and groom get married on a pirate ship during a storm while battling cursed fish people :) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Zach S Captain Jack makes the film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Shaun R Horrible film. Grossly overrated, overlong, boring, stupid cgi, Depp’s annoying overacting, Knightlys pouting. I can go on, Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Romas M "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" (2007) is a very uneven movie. Gone is the adventurous spirit and silliness of its two predecessors. "At World's End" takes it self way to serious, and it suffers from its heavy plot. The plot here is messy. It introduces to many unnecessary characters and leaves them adrift. Its has to many plot lines and suffers because of it. The entire Calypso plot lines appears in a middle of the movie out of the blue sky - it felt like writers didn't had enough time to flesh out the plot (this film came out in 2007 - literally a year after Dead Man's Chest") - its way to short. At running time 2 h 45 min this movie drags. And yet at the end of the day i did liked this movie for what it was - a nearly 3 hours long, 300 million dollar extravaganza. It does look very impressive, the final showdown is very impressive, costume, make up, sound design and all production values alone makes it worth the admission. While rewatching this movie on 4K UHD disk recently back to back with previous movies, i did felt like it needed a better editor. Overall, from an original trilogy, "At World's End" is the most ambitious movie, but at the same time by taking itself way to serious, and with a plot that could with at least 2 movies, it suffers. And yet when your movies budget is 300 mill. there is always what to see on screen, and because of that it is engaging. its flawed, but very impressive film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Jake E Very good finish to the trilogy and probably should’ve stopped here Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
