Pirates of the Carribbean: At Worlds End

So out of all the Pirate movies, this is the one that has the most complicated out of all of them. And that's saying a lot given the fact that all the sequels are complicated. So I'll try my best to tell this story. What's the story? So apparently Tia Dalma has brought Barbossa back to life and now everyone is going to a place called Singapore to get a map from a guy named Sao Fang that will lead them to where Davy Jones Locker. A beach like area place where Jack was placed in the last movie. Which makes no sense because he was eaten at the end of the last movie by then Kraken so he should really be dead. I don't know, maybe there's a reason for it, but it's so complicated I couldn't follow or understand it. Anyway, they do and while that's going on, Becket murders Elizabeth's dad. The others eventually get to Davy Jones Locker and get Jack out. And apparently they're not in their world and when they figure that out, they rock the ship until it flips over and because when the sun sets and they're somehow back. Yeah, I don't get it either. Elizabeth then tells Jack that all Pirate lords are gathering to fight Becket and that he should help fight him too. They then go to an island where they find that the Kraken is dead and they find a dead man who was in Singapore. They then see Sao Fang's ship coming towards theirs. And that's it. The rest is stuff that I don't get or couldn't follow. So let's go over the 1 or 2 things I liked. The action in this is the best in all the movies. The best one being the climax with everyone on the Black Pearl against everyone on the Flying Dutchman. And the cast is still good and they're still some fun scenes and funny scenes. Johnny Depp as well is fun as Jack. And that's it. So now let's go over the problems. The story in this is the most complicated. You can barely understand one thing that's going on. And even just the look of it isn't that pleasant to look at. And most characters are unneeded like Sao Fang and a few other. And it being so needlessly dark, and confusing and weird and just not that much fun. With the first movie it was easy to understand. Evil pirates just wanted to lift a curse. With these last 2 films, it's so all over the place and I forget what the stories are. So yeah, it's not a good film. I personally don't think it's that bad, but it is still bad. Again, I'd say skip it.
