Critic Reviews

Michael Wilmington

The most visually spectacular, action-packed and surreal of the adventures of Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

The cannibals, coconuts and landlocked locations have been replaced by the high-seas high jinks that made the first film so enjoyable. Read full review

James Berardinelli

The last 60 minutes offer adventure as rousing as anything provided in either of the previous installments. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for the other 108 minutes of this gorged, self-indulgent, and uneven production. Read full review

Premiere Ethan Alter

Even Depp's increasingly tired antics can't lighten the dour mood; in fact, Sparrow is completely overshadowed here by Rush's lively turn as Barbossa. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Knightley's Elizabeth becomes a pirate captain this time. You know a franchise has run its course when it has a buccaneer heroine who looks as if she'd hate to get her face smudged. Read full review

Joe Morgenstern

A ponderous pirate saga, 168 minutes long, with more doldrums than "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Those doldrums are relieved from time to time by spectacular effects. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Has no narrative throughline, no emotional spine. It's a mess. Read full review

It was amazing. All complaints I've read are completely unfounded; this movie has finally proved that it can be 100% action-packed and STILL be amazing. Unlike Spiderman3 -which was good but a bit of a mess-PotC3 successfully packed the movie full of subplots. There was not ONE part It was amazing. All complaints I've read are completely unfounded; this movie has finally proved that it can be 100% action-packed and STILL be amazing. Unlike Spiderman3 -which was good but a bit of a mess-PotC3 successfully packed the movie full of subplots. There was not ONE part that needed to be omitted. Many people claim that the Calypso part wasn't necessary. This is utter nonsense. It was completely necessary to the plot. It explained how Davy Jones got to be the way he did. How isn't that relevant? Plus it was a great way to tie Tia Dalma into the plot here. I loved Sparrow&Barbossa's little ego trips, absolutely brilliant! Another place I see a lot of criticism about the plot was that the marriage scene. 'Ohhh it was SOO cheesy...etc' This is simply not the case. It was the most romantic/adorable/sweet part in a movie that I have EVER SEEN. Honestly. I DARE you to find another trilogy out there that has had each movie be just as good as the other. These movies are absolutely epic, and will become classics. The accuracy of the 1st movie with the ride is great, it even inspired Disney to return the favor by adding Sparrow and Barbossa into the ride. Oh and the soundtrack is simply gorgeous. Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to At Wits End, I See Dead People In Boats, and One Day. Ive heard the game is fantastic as well, although I have yet to play it. I just cannot say it enough: There will NEVER be another series of movies that is so incredible in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT.… Expand

I don't get what's wrong with people reviewing this. I seriously don't. Compared to some of the other crap I've seen recently, this is awesome. While the comedic undertones were a little too noticeable throughout, and I didn't understand what was going on until I don't get what's wrong with people reviewing this. I seriously don't. Compared to some of the other crap I've seen recently, this is awesome. While the comedic undertones were a little too noticeable throughout, and I didn't understand what was going on until around halfway, the movie was still an experience. Great way to end the series, in my opinion.… Expand

Let's be honest - it's the third movie of a trilogy, and they are always the worst. Jedi, Godfather 3, Spiderman 3, Matrix Revolutions, X3, and the list goes on. I don't care if Return of the King was the one that won the Oscar - obviously a collective achievement. The lone Let's be honest - it's the third movie of a trilogy, and they are always the worst. Jedi, Godfather 3, Spiderman 3, Matrix Revolutions, X3, and the list goes on. I don't care if Return of the King was the one that won the Oscar - obviously a collective achievement. The lone exception might be Revenge of the Sith, but only because Clones was two-and-a-half of some of the most embarrassing hours in cinematic history. However, Pirates 3 gives you exactly what you need. The action and effects are spectacular and the story is methodic and ends right where it should. Sure, it all might be confusing for the "weak-minded" children whose parents will ignore the PG-13 rating, but the story does make sense. And yes, it's long and there are moments where they try too hard for laughs. And yes, Jack takes a back seat (USA Today, who gives no concrete evidence for the verbose, negative remarks). And no, it will not be a surprise hit. Why not? Come on, it's the third time around. But I liked it.… Expand

This is an achievement: it manages to be tedious, dismally overcomplicated and shallow - all at the same time. Depp rehashes previous performances, only Rush acts convincingly and the old chemistry is totally absent between Knightley and Bloom. Sad.

C-R-A-P! That about sums up the bloated, incoherent mess that is Pirates 3. Whoever said more is better didn't sit through this snoozefest. True, the action piece in the last third of the movie is epic, but for that to improve the rating, that has to matter. But it doesn't! The C-R-A-P!

If the movie had been half as long, I might have given it a 3. But making me suffer for 3 whole hours. Captain Jack gets a goose egg.… Expand
