Much has been made about the movie's confusing plot. Truth be told, it's pretty simple. You just have to keep in mind who is on whose side, what they are actually after at the moment, and who is actually...who. Sides get switched a lot of times here. Yeah. Confusing.
But Pirates 3 doesn't lack in any department (in regards to the last two movies), and continues upon nicely upon the formula followed by the first two movies. In this respect, if you enjoyed Pirates 1 & 2, you'll certainly love this installment.
As always, we have swordfights, ships, and sappy romance(s). Which is why Pirates is an unexceptional movie. Of course, that can't be said of it in the visual effects department, which is exhilarating enough.
Then again, the movies has always been about eye candy and, of course, Jack Sparrow. It's rather long too. So expect lots of draggy scenes. Which is unnecessary. Pirates has always been only about the action and the occasional one liner.
Oh yes, the ending harbors no cliffhangers. Although it is shown that they embark for a new adventure, just wait a little through the ending credits and you'll see some sense of closure. At least, I hope so. Another installment would be entertaining, but a trilogy is good enough, and another movie might be a little tiring.
File this under "entertaining". Expect no more, no less.
