Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End (2007)

Probably one of the better threequels to come along in a lengthy span. Packed to the 9's with your above-average assortment of Big Summer Movie action scenes that mostly deliver, special effects good enough to make you forget they're fake, and a cast of eccentric actors who bring it all to their characters. Surprisingly, also has one of the most satisfying love story conclusions I've seen in a mega-budget movie in quite some time. The biggest problem is that it has simply too much plot, even if it all mostly makes sense. Feels like some of the "who are these people really" revelations should've been put into the 2nd film to lighten the load a bit. Still great fun. Nice to see that guitar-playing pirate lord in there. Damn near steals the movie, he does.

8 out of 10.
