Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End / USA / 2007
The third (and hopefully final) installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, At World’s End is too long, too convoluted, and too empty—ninety minutes of clichéd dialogue and tiresome plot stretched into 168 repetitive minutes through unending alliances between the characters and unoriginal special effects. This is a cinematic migraine, cured only twice—once by Keith Richards as the all-feared keeper of the Pirate Code, and again through a blatant and inappropriate visual allusion to Barbossa’s massive cojones.
My sentiments are best represented by a young boy who, halfway through the film, shouted out, “Mommy, can we go home now?” His mother, busy on her cell-phone, didn’t respond.
P.S.: The “surprise” ending is given away in the first half-hour. Enjoy.
