Pirates of the Caribbean- At World's End

Well, in this, the third segment of a remarkable series, I have to say, a step in the wrong direction. To be sure, this movie has it's great moments, and does not lack in humor or action. However, amidst heroes turning traitor (although in the end all are reconciled) setting a sea goddess free from the body of a witch, and a fairly poor ending, this movie falls short of what it could have been. I would say this movie is worth watching to be sure- once or twice. The first two, I shall revisit them before long, however, this one just wasn't as good. Some bright points: William and Elizabeth have the most awesomest wedding ever; though it is slightly interrupted every time one of them has to kill somebody.. it is in the midst of a battle with the enemy, and Will asks Elizabeth to marry him. She says, "I don't think this is the best time!" and he says "it may be the only time we've got" so she accepts, and they are married by the captain of the ship. However, what looks like a thread that could bring this movie back into the same class as it's predecessors soon snaps when Will dies and becomes the captain of Davy Jone's old ship. Overall, the movie was fantastic (bar a few things that could have been changed) until the end. If you have seen the first two of the series, by all means either watch this one, or do all the reading about it that you can, because the 2nd one left off just where you were on the edge of your seat dying to know what happened next. However, this one, though good, was not in the same class as the first two.
On my 1-10 scale, this one earned a 6.5
