Worst Movie Ever

Just got done watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3.  What a pile of garbage!

The plot was terrible.  First, it’s obvious that the writers created the first movie to be self-contained, plot-wise.  In this movie, the writers added so many plot elements that it just became ridiculous.  Pirate lords magically sealing up a sea goddess?  Come on!  It’s like the writers tried to build a skyscraper plot on a foundation of sand (the sand being a moderate first movie).  Second, there was so much going on I stopped caring.  Who should I root for?  They’re all back-stabbing each other!  Third, there were scenes that were so over the top, it was just ridiculous.  The biggest offender being the scene where the bad English admiral loses heart and strolls down the stairs of his ship while cannon balls rip his ship to shreds.  GAG!  And then Jack Sparrow magically creates a parachute that floats him upward out of a whirlpool.  OI!  Over all, they tried to make a Lord of the Rings out of a Con Air.  Oh, hey, Jerry Bruckheimer produced it…  Lord of the Rings pulled off the complex story because the story itself was well thought out even before the prequel (The Hobbit) was made.  Same with Star Wars. 

Then there’s the whole deal with Disney exploiting the pirate craze.  At one point, I expected the pirates to start fighting some ninjas that had made their way to China.  I’m surprised they didn’t take advantage of that.

Anyway, don’t waste your time watching it!  Be forewarned!
