pirates of the caribbean: at world's end

"nobody move! i dropped me brain!"

after almost three hours of sitting on plush chairs, that was what i could come up with. whilst some scenes were engaging and encouraged suspense (namely the action scenes), others were purely dragging. granted, without those scenes, we wouln't be able to make head or tail of what was happening or why there was a giant woman standing on the black pearl.

with betrayal being a main part of the story, there were too much of a labyrinth of plots and sometimes, it was quite hard to figure out who was betraying whom. the sheer number of main characters also added to the confusion.

however, pirates 3 did answer a lot of the questions raised in the first two movies, a perfect end to the trilogy. it did tie up beautifully(despite the long sequence), although i did detest sitting through the entire credits for the last remaining scene. that's what the fast forward button on the dvd is for.
