Critics Consensus

POTC: AWE provides the thrilling action scenes, but mixes in too many characters with too many incomprehensible plot threads.

What began as a thrilling and engrossing entertainer ends up as a terribly tedious franchisee -- the convoluted plot leaves you more confused than involved.

3/5

Buoyed by luck, comedy and state-of-the-art special effects, it has not only survived the journey intact, it's also washed down its decks, ready for a whole new cycle of movies to begin.

It's a knockabout, scattershot affair.

5/10

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.

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.

B-

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.

An alright ending to the main storyline. I just think they tried to do too much in three movies. I feel like if you wanted to make this storyline better, shorten the movies, and give it one more film. Instead, we have four films slightly over two hours. Plus I'll be honest, I do not care for the storyline of the redcoats. They are so lame.

At World’s End is a visually stunning but overstuffed finale. Jack Sparrow’s rescue from Davy Jones’ Locker leads to an epic clash of pirate lords against Lord Beckett, packed with surreal imagery and massive battles. While the spectacle impresses, the plot is tangled and the runtime drags, leaving it both thrilling and exhausting.

There were some pretty memorable moments, but it felt gross as a christian. Many people dying etc. I liked it but not something I will watch again probably, unless i watch whole series.

They really tried too hard to be “cool” here. They made up plots, just to drop them a minute later for new ones. But, the climax gave me chills. Three stars.
