Just like its predecessor, Pirates
of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, this third chapter in the blockbuster
series fails to provide a clear plot as well as too many character plotlines to
follow. In the second sequel to the 2003 epic adventure fantasy William “Will”
Turner (Orlando Bloom) and his future wife Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley)
along with the crew of the “Black Pearl” and the help of Captain Hector
Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davey
Jones’s locker and must then band together with the rest of the pirates in the
world so they can prepare themselves to fight the East India Trading Company,
led by Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) and Davey Jones (Bill Nighy), who plan to
extinguish piracy.
This film just like the previous
entry in the series fails to provide a comprehensible and balanced plot line.
Instead what it does is add a whole bunch of characters and it tries to develop
their backgrounds giving the audience too much to handle. This movie, just like
the first two, is yet another masterpiece when it comes to the wardrobe, sets,
music, action scenes, visuals and special effects. But again the story is just
too much, which is really what sort of kills the film a bit. Other than failed
attempt to balance out the plot, this flick is without a doubt an entertaining
fun filled ride, so in other words the film is great if it wasn’t for the
difficult to understand plot threads.
Rating:
3.5 stars out of 5.
