Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : At World’s End is long, loud brash and complicated with the Keith Richards cameo (all of ten minutes) as Jack Sparrow senior by far the highpoint. He probably didn’t need much makeup either.
I also liked the surreal scenes in the desert with Depp/Sparrow multiplied and crab stones pushing the ship to water.
Still, hopefully, this will be the last of the salty saga as plotwise it’s been dragged out about as far as possible although obviously from a marketing perspective the sell by date (like Spiderman 3) has not yet been reached. The dearth of ideas in Hollywood is such that demand will generate supply and I wouldn’t rule out a number 4 .
Depp should get back to some challenging roles – how about Dead man 2?
