When I first saw the film, I was confused by all the constant betrayals amongst the pirates, but then I remembered what Chow-Yun Fat's character said: The only way for a pirate to survive today is to betray other pirates. Everyone has their own agenda, yet they fight for a common purpose: To defeat Beckett and Davy Jones.

Make no mistake, they do so in a thrilling final battle that puts war movies to shame. Those who complain of the lack of Jack in the 2nd one will not be disappointed. In fact, they might find there's a little too much of him! Keira Knightley has brilliant moments, and looks even more beautiful than before. And as always, Barbosa and Jack make the perfect duo. The ending has great twists and are unlike a Disney film. They really do an excellent job of avoiding any clichés.

The visual effects are stunning, the acting is superb, and once more the final battle, as well as the score, is godly. Fans of the first two will not be disappointed for this truly is the finest of the trilogy. It is by far the fastest 3 hours you'll ever watch and at the end you'll only be wanting more!

When 24 first premiered, I was quite skeptical that it would last an entire season, let alone 6. I saw the first few episodes and didn't think much of it. I stopped watching it because Tuesday nights became bad for me, but later on in the season I saw the episode when Bauer and Palmer finally met. From then on I finished out the season and was amazed. I bought the first season DVD over the summer and watched it all. After I finished, I could hardly wait for the next season. The first half of the season was solid, but then the second half got predictable. Nonetheless, I was still on the edge of my seat and by the end of the year I was left wanting more. Even though the fourth season was the worst, I was and remain convinced that a bad season of 24 is still better than a good season of any other show. Originally I was simply amazed by the constant cliffhangers that are drawn up week after week by the amazing writing crew. I'm now hooked on the soundtrack by Sean Callery and the performances by the characters, most notably Kiefer Sutherland as the great Jack Bauer. I was particularly impressed with his acting this season. Season 6 was the most emotionally traumatic season for Jack Bauer and Kiefer's acting was more than top notch! I don't understand how this last finale only has a 5.8. This finale was pure 24. The action sequences as well as the intensity of the acting by Kiefer in the last 12 minutes left me on the edge of my seat, more than ever! This show is the best on television because the writing is impeccable as well as the acting and the music. The character's performances among these other elements make this seem like more than a TV show or a movie for that matter. I'm impatiently waiting for the next season because this show is truly one in a million. No...one in 24 million!

From the start I laughed, but I could sense that this film wasn't going to live up to the charm or the brilliance of the first two films. I liked the storyline and the references made back to the first 2 films. I also liked the pop soundtrack and the ending musical number that has become a tradition in the Shrek series, as well as the high school sequence. "Just say nay". Classic. Unfortunately there were a number of elements I disliked. The first and probably the sequence I hated the most was Harold's death scene. The first time he "croaked" was funny. The next two or three times just made it annoying and I was hoping he had croaked for real. The second were the other princesses. The satirical elements of their character was funny, but overall they just annoyed me. Third, Eric Idle. Usually I find him to be riotous, but in this film his jokes just weren't clever nor hilariously stupid. They were just dumb. Last, but most certainly not least, Charming's singing. He puts the failures on the American Idol auditions to shame. Overall this film is worth seeing, especially if you've seen the first two, but I wouldn't watch it twice. Also try to see it w/ someone special. Gives you less reason to leave, even though you want to while watching it.
