I suppose it was okay, but it was certainly the worst of the three (by a long shot), and had an even more convoluted and disjointed plot than DMC, with even worse pacing problems, if you can imagine. A tight story this was not. It was a better than average movie for me, though, so a 6/10 for the movie +1 for having pirates, so a weak 7/10 for me. In any case, I am very glad I watched both previous movies the night before, otherwise I'd have been exceptionally disappointed with the third.The whole Davey Jones Locker/Land of the Dead sequence was so boring it stunk to high heaven, and I didn't get much out of the whole 'multiple Jacks' sequences. And while it was neat to see references to the previous movies, they sometimes didn't make a lot of sense (e.g. whats-his-face's eye turns out to actually be important, though in the previous movies he and his buddy allude to replacing it... why? Because the writers were just making <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> up as they went along [evidence? Listen to their commentary on the DMC DVD!]). And the dead Kraken (just for the sake of removing it from the third movie) was a complete cop-out (though at least they made the effort to tell us what happened to it, so I give them an "E" for effort...). The Keith Richards cameo just plain sucked for me personally, as I hate those kinds of stupid Hollywood in-jokes (though the guy isn't a half-bad actor!).Great, however, were the recurring characters (even the 2 goof soldiers from the first movie) and the action sequences. I loved seeing Norrington again (he was my favorite from DMC) and I suspected he would 'redeem' himself - glad to see I was right.But overall, though, I found myself bored throughout a significant portion of the movie.</blockquote>
