Look, I thought the movie was good. But by no means was it the bee's knees, nor was it better than the original film. I honestly believe that the second and third installments took what was basically an unassuming, rollicking, fun swashbuckler and tried to turn it into an epic trilogy of Biblical proportions. It simply doesn't have the substance to pull it off. These three films won't be remember as one of the great trilogies, but perhaps as three fun films of the time.

I'm not sure that everyone has given the plot of World's End if they thought it was easy to understand, let alone claim that a 10 year-old could understand it. Perhaps its more that I just didn't believe it - a lot of the dialogue in the film seemed to be the characters explaining the plot to us - and the explanations were almost as convoluted as comic book continuity (and if you've read as many as I have, you'll understand what I mean!). Probably the aspect that I had most trouble understanding was each characters motives: why they did what they did.

Particularly in the Jack Sparrow scenes, Pirates 3 seemed like a movie that knew it was a movie...

But for all my criticisms, let me re-iterate that I thought this was a good film.
