At World's End caps off the original trilogy's story in mostly fantastic fashion. While the runtime is bloated and the story becomes increasingly more convoluted, it's still a fun film with plenty of the swashbuckling action and humor we've come to love. For fans of the previous two films, this is a solid entry that marks the end of this storyline with hints to potential future adventures.

While his character once again appears to be slightly more dumbed down, Johnny Depp is still exceptional as Captain Jack Sparrow. He continues to be amazingly fun to watch and shares great chemistry with Geoffrey Rush. That's right, Rush is back as Captain Barbossa. While I've always been conflicted on bringing his character back, I can't deny that Rush is a lot of fun in the role. He generally seems to be having a great time, making his character hard to hate. This installment also marks the end of Bloom's and Knightley's characters's storyline. The actors continue to do a good job. My only complaint is I've never been satisfied with the outcome of Bloom's character, Will Turner, fate. Also, I have to say Keith Richards cameo as a pirate captain is a lot more enjoyable than it should be. Richards does a seriously good job in the brief time he's on screen. As mentioned above, there are some glaring faults. This is the longest film in the franchise to date, and it shows. While mostly entertaining, there were moments that could have been out out. Which leads to my next issue, the storyline. At World's End marks an overindulgence in betrayals and double-crosses, with it being incredibly hard to know who's on who's side.

For all its faults, At World's End is still an incredibly good time. The cast continue to be on point, the humor generally works, and there are plenty of fun action scenes. It may not have been the epic conclusion we were all hoping for, but it was still a riveting ride that I enjoy every time I watch it. A pirate's life it be, indeed.
