‘Tis the season for hyped up sequels to sequels. I had to convince myself to go see the 3rd installment of the pirate adventure after that convoluted, useless, Dead Man’s Chest.
All the players are back, including Geoffrey Rush (Barbosa) from the freewheeling, fun-loving original. Oh how I miss when Jack Sparrow was a new character and his mannerisms were a surprise. Johnny Depp oes his thing, Orlando Bloom glowers, and Keira Knightley simpers. This movie is looooong and I was wishing for an intermission.
My final verdict is that the movie is fun, and better than the second, as long as you have the patience to sit through 2 hours and 45 minutes of pure pirate movie. And fair warning, I found myself laughing the most at the bits with the monkey. Interpret that as you will.
