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

US
Gore Verbinski - Director
Jerry Bruckheimer - Producer
Ted Elliott - Screenwriter
Terry Rossio - Screenwriter

To be honest, the heavy British and, well, all the weird accents, and my remarkably bad memory of what happened in Dead Man's Chest hinder my full understanding of the plot. But put my little inability aside, I like it. It does not overdo the jokes, the romance, or the plot (at least as far as I can comprehend...) It does have something underdeveloped. The beautiful and touching opening does not reach its full potential in the proceeding part of the film. The fighting choreography is far less spectacle and entertaining from the first two of the trilogy. (Trilogy? Maybe more to come.)Yet the slightly low-key style just something I will like, with some amazing sequences involving ships sailing though the stellar underworld sea, turning up side down and moving by the pebble-turned crabs. And who wouldn't love the schizophrenic Captain Jack Sparrow and the handsome Pirate Queen Elizabeth Swann?
