Critics Consensus

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

Mr. G

Der in meinen Augen gelungene Abschluss einer guten Trilogie.Die großes Probleme ,die der Film allerdings hat ist zum einen die Länge des Filmes und zum anderen die komplizierte Handlung, die sich durch das gegenseitige Betrügen verkompliziert. Das CGI vorallem von Davy Jones hat sich sehr gut gehalten. Trotz der Manko ist es ein gelungener Abschluss einer Piraten Trilogie

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Even though it is longer than the first two movies, it still justifies it's run times, with a good pacing and a really good story. The cast is likable and Davy Jones is a really good villain (that I forgot to talk about in my "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" review), whose CGI still holds up today. It's a lot more weird, but IMO it pays off. The twists and turns are great and the ending leaves you really satisfied.

A better subtitle for this film would be "At Weird's End." It's really silly. It also doesn't have enough of Jack Sparrow. Also note that a special effects designer themselves literally put a kitchen sink into the final, big battle.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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

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

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.

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.
