Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

2007
Walt Disney Pictures
PG-13
1/2

Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) set out with the crew of the Black Pearl to find Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and save him from Davy Jones' (Bill Nighy) Locker. Meanwhile, Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) is plotting to take over the sea and put an end to piracy for good.
Too many storylines wind up keeping this from being understandable, and some of the action doesn't even make sense, but all the style and performances pretty much save the show. The main reason this is better than its predecessor: the script is less routine.
