[This is not so much a movie review as a warning]
Ahoy! Set sail for deus ex machina!
“Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” is a treasure-trove of lame tropes and plot loopholes big enough to sail ships through. The words “sea sick” sum it up well. This film was not on par with the previous two. Watching it was like being subjected to a three hour Renaissance Faire with eyepatches and greasier hair. After the first hour, it made me want to mutiny. By the second hour, I would have voluntarily walked the plank. It was the “Phantom Menace” of The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I was amazed to learn that Joel Schumacher was not involved in the making of this film.

I wish I wore an eyepatch to the movie - two of them.

The only redeeming items in this Johnny Depp cluster-f*ck:
•Geoffrey Rush with hepatitis-yellow contact lenses
•Cameo by Keith Richards (his hepatitis-yellow eyes were real)
•Davey Jones with the cool octopus tentacles

Super-double irony: an anti-piracy sign at the movie theater.
