After Dead Man's Chest, we find our heroes Will (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free that kooky Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker.
The squid-faced Jones has formed a dark alliance with Lord Beckett (Hollander) and the East India Trading Company. Their aim: to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. But Pirates from the four corners of the globe, including the cunning Singaporean Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat), make a final stand. The titanic battle is a fight for their lives, fortunes and freedom-loving-Pirate ways.
Made back to back with the disappointing sequel ‘Dead Man’s Chest’, director Verbinski looks to up the spectacle again with this trilogy maker and also features the much touted cameo of Rolling Stone Keith Richards.

The good news first: Keith Richards totally rocks it playing pirate daddy to Johnny Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow. The deep rumble of his voice and those hooded eyes that narrowly open like the creaky gates of hell make him what the rest of this three-peat is not: authentically scary...So what's the bad news? Richards is onscreen for barely two minutes...

This film is far less slapstick than its predecessors, fewer laughs making way for a more grand and epic feel... But clocking in just shy of three hours, once again audience goodwill is squandered by an over-indulgent final battle scene.

Better than part two and occasionally rising to the spirit of the original, it’s an entertaining spectacle that brings the story to satisfying conclusion – but it’s still too long and overloaded, at the expense of the comedy...
