[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 3549640, member: 35678"] My opinion of At World's End? I liked it. However, out of the three PotC movies, it was very possibly the weakest, but I wasn't a big fan of Dead Man's Chest, and it's been awhile since I watched it (which lead to some confusion over plots, but more on that later) so I'm none too sure. I thought this movie was trying to do waaay too much in it's three-hour length. I think the whole Calypso element was superfluous to the plotline, and just added confusion to the movie's flow (the whole Chinese Pirate Lords reaction to Elizabeth and then the revelation of the true Calypso a scene or two later just seemed too fast and skipped-over). Not to mention the fact that Calypso wasn't even mentioned in Dead Man's Chest; it was just a set-up for the (yes, amazing) maelstrom scene - which was hardly necessary plot-wise. Calypso was an excuse to get in an amazing battle, and I'm still on the fence on whether it was worth it or not. I think this point was my main problem with At World's End - I could barely remember anything from Dead Man's Chest. I completely forgot that Elizabeth betrayed Jack, and thus the movie was harder for me to follow due to so much interaction between DMC and AWE. Also, this is another problem I had with the movie - while I enjoyed the fantasy elements in the movie (those crabs moving the Black Pearl were awesome!) I wasn't expecting such a big transition. It was very jarring. cheers, --N P.S. I know, I totally started laughing at that part :D:D [/QUOTE]
