Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End DVD Review

Movie

All the old familiar faces return and they’re a welcome sight. Joining the crew of the Black Pearl in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End are an assortment of new faces. Chow Yun-Fat plays Captain Sao Feng, and steals almost every scene he’s in. Taking command of a scene when you’re on screen with the likes of Geoffrey Rush’s Captain Barbossa is more than impressive. That’s damned good acting.

At World’s End resolves the Pirates of the Caribbean storyline, and it does it in just under 3 hours. Ouch. That’s way too long. Especially when nothing really seems to happen for the first part of the movie. Oh, there’s plenty of action sequences, but what little storytelling there is could be done in much less time.

The ending is satisfying. It just seems right. If only they could have gotten to it a bit quicker.

Oh and for the ladies…

There’s more Depp than you can shake a pair of panties at.

DVD Extras

The extras are almost non-existent. There’s a gag reel, and that’s it. The bloopers are good, but not good enough to be the only special feature. No behind the scenes, no “making of”, no nothin’. That really sucks. I would love to see a making of documentary for this movie. C’mon! Would one interview with Keith Richards hurt the sales of the premium DVD that much?

I have no doubt that there will be a special collectors premium edition that contains the special features that should have been on this disc. Would I buy it? No way. Not a chance. I doubt I’d even rent it. Ok, maybe I’d rent it if it has that Keith Richards interview.

Verdict

This wraps up a trilogy, so if you’ve seen the others rent this one. If you haven’t seen the first 2, you’re not missing anything.

As for buying it…

I’d only recommend purchasing this DVD to fans of the series. If you have to add this one to your collection, wait. In a couple of months there will be a DVD that has the special features this one should have had.
