Well I had high, high hopes for this film because I really enjoyed the original. But, YARRR, this one disappointed. It’s not that it was terrible, but that’s a far cry from good sez I. The biggest failing was it was far, far, too long and lost its way in the middle never to be found again.
The last half hours was really a preview for part three. And make no mistake this is only half a movie. It just ends, leaving you wanting (or maybe not) the sequel. At well over 2-1/2 hours, you want more. Lord of the Rings proved you can make a very long movie and not have the audience checking their watches repeatedly. Sadly, Pirates disappointed all the way ’round.
At least I had fun with my friends whilst being bored at the film most of the way.
