@KaizokuFan22:
was there a reason why some of the ride dialouge was in the film?(when they fall off the edge)
Yes. So people would ask that question.
What a fantastic summer film.
My biggest complaint is that it takes itself WAY too seriously and is remarkably dark in contrast to the previous two films. Is that a bad thing? Well, no actually, because it's handled quite well. That can be attributed to the skills of the Verbinski having control of all three.
I think what GearSecond said holds some merit. So many NEW facts are thrown around with ease and frequency about stuff we supposedly should have known about characters such as Jones' real job as a ferryman of the dead stood out in particular to me as coming out of the blue. Unless of course I missed it somewhere in 2.
And finally, the plot is far too complicated. Is it impossible to follow? No. But since you've got Jack who is essentially a wild card and he lies at the dead-center, it makes it impossible to figure out who's doing what and why and under whose influence. The scene with Beckett and Jack wheeling and dealing while Fen(g)? and Will/Eliz deal back and forth is INSANE. It does little more than draw attention to how much the film is bogged down in itself.
They could easily have achieved the same effect without appearing so smart.
Other than that, the last showdown is nothing short of spectacular as a battle to end all sea battles. Freaking incredible. I was just sitting there looking at each shot thinking of what they had to do to accomplish it and could NOT freaking believe it. That was AMAZING.
If I had any complaint it would be that the Pirate Lords did little but sit on their asses and then raise their fists in the air when it was over. The battle was AMAZING so again, no complaints, but to shit shit flying around in the BG would have been the final touch that brought it to Helm's Deep status.
Also wasn't happy how some interesting ideas never developed and considering the ending, won't be. For example, Jack and Beckett. What the hell transpired between them? Can we use our imagination? Yeah sure, but then why bother with the idea in the first place.
What I loved more than anything was the obvious tribute to Once Upon a Time in the West. That was awesome. Bravo to Verbinski for having some fun mixing pirates and westerns.
Anyway, I mentioned mostly what I didn't like but other than that it was really spectacular. A superior summer film.
