Review: As this was the third part of the trilogy a much was expected but it did reasonably good. Johnny Depp’s performance was as usual very good with some good performances of Bill Nighy, Geoffrey Rush and Orlando Bloom. But this part of the trilogy was a little stretched which was at all not needed. At some part of the movie, it feels little slacky and boring but the last of movie was very much exciting full of action and adventure. Humor in the movie was as usual, decent one. In the middle part, the movie becomes slows and pace was not there which loses its hold on the audience. Special effects of the movie were almost as its previous part. In this part, it was clearly shown that Gore Verbinski doesn’t remained focus on his strengths which he remained in the first part of Pirates of Caribbean. As a whole movie is a good entertainer for the audience. But clearly till now the best part of the trilogy was the first one.   

Stars given: 3 out of 5.
