Reviews are flooding in all over for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and the critics are conflicted. Some love it, some hate it.
Rotten Tomatoes currently has it at a wavy 52% nearly splitting the decision one way or the other.
Some of the things being said:
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune:
The most visually spectacular, action-packed and surreal of the adventures of Capt. Jack Sparrow.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer does deserve a shoutout: It takes a kind of genius to sucker audiences into repeatedly buying the same party tricks.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter:
More than ever, Depp masterfully keeps the enterprise afloat, even when the sheer weight of all those other characters threatens to throw it off-course.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly:
Just about every character in At World’s End comes with his or her own agenda, and the movie grows top-heavy as we attempt to keep track of who’s trying to accomplish what.
I have my ticket for a Sunday Night show already, so I won’t be boarding this one just yet, but I don’t know if I should be excited or not.
