Piratey. Lots and lots of pirates! In fact, everyone’s a pirate. Even you and me. Yo, ho, ho! The biggest saving grace of this movie was that it was way better than PoTC2. A huge sigh of relief from me as I didn’t fancy paying six bucks to spend three hours sleeping in uncomfortable seats at the local theatre. Don’t go see this movie if you’re looking for a decent screenplay and well thought out drama. This is an absolute riot and you just have to go with it. Silliness abounds but there’s much fun to be had, many beautiful things to see and action out the wazoo.<\/p>\n
I particularly enjoyed the stone crabs, the marriage ceremony, and KK getting to squash her buckle. <\/p>\n
There are plot holes galore, inappropriate dark themes and not much makes any kind of sense but I thought I got a pretty good deal from the whole shebang. I laughed out loud many times and I did not fall asleep once! High praise, indeed, these days. Though, as Mark Kermode might say Gore Verbinski is clearly part of the death of narrative cinema.<\/p>\n
