***CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
I really wanted to like it. But after two and a half hours, I asked myself "What was the point?"
It just really seemed like a sequel that spawned from a closed book. The jokes referring to the first movie grew old after the 20th one. Five too many rum jokes.
Maybe the third one will justify this movie. Maybe. But the storyline kept getting convoluted. The action scenes grew rather corny and maintained that level. People seemed to enter and leave randomly without much thought of how anyone appeared where they did later on.
Just off the top of my head, here's some ways this movie tried to keep reminding people it was a sequel, instead of a movie to stand on its own...
"Hide your rum."
"Low on gunpowder, use the rum."
"Where's the dog with the keys?"
Inmates repeating the stretching out image, except now to Kierra.
The constant referencing to Jack Sparrow as Captain in the beginning.
"This will be the time you almost... Jack Sparrow" after the tide hits him
Riding a turtle.
Slapping Will and telling him to pass it on to Jack.
When the movie tried to stand on its own, they made the script way more complicated than it needed to be.
I dunno..... it's grossing millions, what do I know?
