Pirates of the Caribbean 3

Just caught this movie in Brunei courtesy of the local Brunei Pirates. How appropriate =). I am a bit late to the party, and thank god for that !

This movie as far as I am concerned is a steaming pile of cow dung ! The convoluted story line and the unfunny action scenes ( case in point - orlando and kiera getting hitched in the middle of a full blown action fight sequence ) just nails this pirates' franchise coffin tight in this doozer of a movie with johnny depp reprising his role as Captain Jack sparrow. Thanks to the overly complex plot, I was half way asleep when the climatic battle came and even then scenes of the "smart" tactical manoeuvers by the pirates failed to rouse me from my slumber and looked contrived at best. I can distinctly remember a better movie on that topic helmed by the capable mr. Crowe ...

Ok ! Ok ! People tell me to be positive ... right ! there are a few gems in this movie ! There I said it... but seriously the acting of Chow Yuen Fatt and Geoffrey Rush as Captain Sao Feng and Barbossa respectively is good. Sadly, good acting from these veterans fails to rescue this movie from it's watery grave, that is it's PLOT. Sorry guys and gals. That is about as positive as I can get for this.

Also, sorry no trailers for this movie.. I am not going to waste my time going to youtube to cut and paste this turd. Go there yourself if you have an inclination for that sort of thing.

Grade : 1/10
