PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END (2007) MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

Welcome to my first-time watching as we react to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2008). Even though this is not the last film in the Pirates saga it definitely felt conclusive to a lot of storylines that had been built throughout all 3 films.

In this third installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is trapped in Davy Jones' Locker, and it's up to Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) to rescue him and stop the East India Trading Company from conquering the seas.

The cinematography, score and mesmerizing visuals especially in the third act had us in absolute awe. This film effectively kept us immerse in this crazy world of pirates even at it's craziest moments.

We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and review as we discuss the fantastic score, great action sequences, our amazement with the CGI and how the entire "Flying Dutchman" crew looked, how Calypso's wrath was depicted and why we believe Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a worthy conclusion to a lot of the storylines we've been following and have enjoyed since the first film.

There's a nice deleted scene i wish they kept. When Jack and Beckett talk there's some extra dialogue where it's revealed that the reason Beckett hates him is because Jack stole one of his ships and the valuable cargo inside to which Jack replies "People aren't cargo, mate" meaning he freed a ship full of slaves. I wish they kept it because it says so much about Jack. He may be a pirate and may for the most part be out for himself but there are some things he will absolutely not allow on his watch

Very few villains in cinema could ever capture the tragic journey similar to Darth Vader, but I always thought Davy Jones's journey in one and two came pretty close to it! It's such an understated performance in these films, but Bill Nighy absolutely kills it!

[dasjoe]

I also love the twist that the sword Davy Jones stabs Will with, is the sword Will made at the start of the first movie

[Mini_Hayley]

The two arguing British guards being in the black pearls crew at the end of the movie is like my favorite little Easter egg lmao

[yoshiithelizard]

Elizabeth Swan, I dare to say, is one of the most badass, loved and remembered female characters in cinema... Her journey is amazing, from damsel in distress to king of the pirates, she's just that awesome!

[johnsnow]

The "Up is down" score is just a masterpiece
Hand zimmer really went all in with the music in this movie

[Skye_Writer]

Btw, take note of the fact that EVERY man Elizabeth has ever kissed has DIED. Jack died in the last film after their kiss, Sao Feng dies IMMEDIATELY after forcing a kiss on her, and James dies within a minute of kissing her. Will kissed her more often than anyone else, but before the movie was over... Pirates are sailors, and sailors are superstitious. In pirate circles, this is going to give Elizabeth a reputation, lol! 🤣 That should make it very easy for her to stay true to Will.

Captain Teague Sparrow, father of Jack, it´s played by Keith Richards, the legendary guitarist of Rolling Stones.

My favorite subtle side-plot: Will's Sword.
In the first movie, Will is presenting a ceremonial sword to Commodore Norrington for his advancement, who then holds onto it until his dismissal between the first and second movie.
In the second movie, it can be seen in the background of Cutler Beckett's office.
In the third movie, it is returned to Norrington's hand upon reinstatement. Norrington takes a literal stab at Jones with it in his final moment, where Jones then compliments it and gives it to his crew. That crew member drops it on the dutchman during the final maelstrom battle, where it is then picked up by an East Indian Trading Company crewman but is snatched by Jones and used to run through the crewman. Jones then holds onto the sword for the remainder of the battle until he uses it...to kill Will.
Yes, the very sword Will arrived carrying at the Swan Household at the start of the franchise, the "very fine sword" he made, is the sword that ended his mortal life.

Someone once said that Will learned how to be a pirate from Jack and Elizabeth learned how to be a pirate from Barbossa, and I think that’s very true. Their styles are very similar when you think about it. 🙂

These movies are a masterclass in character goals, motivations, and conflicts. Every single person has a reason for what they're doing and it make all the chaos make sense.

[DarthKay]

Till this day out of all unnecessary remakes and sequels I still want a prequel of Davy Jones and Calypso it would be a tragic thing indeed 💔

[gokulsiriah]

This movie was end game before Endgame was endgame

[SpecklesTeeV]

Hans Zimmer’s work on the scores is outstanding! His scores truly carry the entire franchise, especially the final battle music with the human voice for extra dramatics.

[thehorrorcounselors]

I love everything about this movie but I especially love Barbosa, he just radiates with “Captain” energy…Which makes for some funny moments with him and Jack, it also starts the “Anti-Hero” arc for Barbosa, each minute we hate him less and love him much more.

[preachergallow]

The opening scene is probably the best opening scene ever except for maybe the dark knight

[stevehowell]

The green flash is an atmospheric phenomenon that is extremely rare and mostly seen near the equator. I've seen 3 in 20 years of sailing.

[Eldaino]

That moment where Will, now the captain of the Dutchman, comes out of the water is just *chefs kiss*

[Skye_Writer]

One last note: in Jack's final scene, you can see that his mom's shrunken head now hangs on _his_ belt. We also finally see Jack's personal colors/Jolly Roger, his pirate flag that would have flown from the mast of the Pearl back when he was captain. Also...he is searching for the fountain of youth, and his map leads him to...Florida. Where he does, in fact, go on living forever, in a Magic Kingdom in the middle of the peninsula. 😉

I really love Davy Jones, definitely my favourite villain of all time.

I find him so sympathetic and deep. He was so heartbroken he had to cut his own heart out.

Love the detail of Davy Jones realising Becket's brought his heart on board when he sheds a tear
