Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

"Cuttlefish! Ay? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish... flippin' glorious little sausages. Pen them up together and they will devour each other without a second thought. Human nature, in'it? Ooor... fish nature. So yes! We could hold up here, well-provisioned and well-armed, and half of us would be dead within the month! Which seems grim to me any way you slice it! Or! ... ahh... as my learned colleague so naively suggests, we can release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful-I rather doubt it. Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury Hell hath no? We cannot. Res ipsa loquitur, tabula in naufragio, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are coming out of me mouth ... Captain Swann. We must fight!"

- Jack Sparrow

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a 2007 American epic fantasy swashbuckler film directed by Gore Verbinski, the third installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series and the sequel to Dead Man's Chest (2006). It follows Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Hector Barbossa, and the crew of the Black Pearl as they seek to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker. They then prepare to fight the East India Trading Company, led by Cutler Beckett, who controls Davy Jones and plans to extinguish piracy forever. Walt Disney Pictures released the film in the United States on May 25, 2007.

Plot
Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) join forces with Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) to free Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from Davy Jones' Locker. Meanwhile, the crew of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship wreaks havoc on the Seven Seas. The friends must navigate dangerous waters to confront Chinese pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) and, ultimately, they must choose sides in a battle wherein the pirate life hangs in the balance.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Once again, Gore Werbinski gets another great direction skills.
 * 2) The final battle is just epic, it just shows how the ships have got vortex and can be considered one of the best scenes in cinema history.
 * 3) It retains the charm of the two previous films.
 * 4) Hans Zimmer's score is fantastic enough.
 * 5) Many funny and memorable scenes. Especially the up-is-down sequence, the negotiation at a shore, and the final battle.
 * 6) The scene where Lord Cutler Beckett gets killed aboard his ship while walking through it is lengthy but well-executed.
 * 7) Will becomes smarter in this movie taking inspiration by Jack towards the climax. The same happens with Elizabeth (despite the latter have this change at the beginning).
 * 8) The worldbuilding is impressive.
 * 9) The scene where Jack sacrificies his occasion to be immortal to save Will is heartwarming.
 * 10) Like the previous films, the swashbuckling action scenes is awesome.
 * 11) Each of our main characters has their own arcs which something good for a entry in the franchise.
 * 12) It expands upon Davy Jones' backstory and helps to paint the monstruous character in a more sympathetic light.
 * 13) The ending is unexpected as it even teases a sequel with the mention of the Fountain of Youth.
 * 14) The new characters are very entertaining and likable, such as Sao Feng, Captain Jocard, and the Hong Kong Pirates.
 * 15) Once again, the performances of Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom as Will Turner, Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann, Stellan Skarsgård as Bootstrap Bill Turner, Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, Chow Yun-fat as Sao Feng and Geoffrey Rush as Hector Barbossa are great as much.
 * 16) Memorable quotes, like "Cuttlefish! Ay? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish...", and "It's just...good business."

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Not enough characters development, making it one-dimensional.
 * 2) Will is annoying in the first half of the movie when he betrays everyone to save himself and Elizabeth without caring about Jack (possibly due to the fact that he saw both Elizabeth and Jack kissing in the last movie).
 * 3) Some scary and disturbing moments, like when Davy Jones sadistically suffocates Mr. Mercer to death.
 * 4) The depiction of Chinese pirates at Singapur can be somewhat racist and offensive for asian viewers.
 * 5) Lots of deleted scenes that could have solved some plot holes in the movie, not only that, some consider them some of the best scenes in the movie, you can still see them, though they're unfinished.
