More of the same....

Under discussion:

"At World's End" is just as complicated, frustrating, and ultimately boring as the sequel in this series.  Like "Dead Man's Chest," this third film feels as though a series of unrelated vignettes are tacked-on to one another in a dull sequence.  The plot is almost incomprehensible in the first half, and the film feels as though it is trying to pack as much mythology into the film as possible. The result is a bloated, overloaded and utterly confusing script.  I didn't feel like I cared about any of the characters and I never felt any suspense at all.  And....just as I began to breathe a sigh of relief that the movie was coming to a close, they set up for another sequel (#4).  That one, I told my wife, I will not see under any circumstances.

Bottom line: 1 eye-patch out of 5

I am so glad I decided at the end of Dead Man's Chest to boycott this franchise.  From all I hear of this news of a fourth movie, it looks like I'll be able to boycott the franchise for longer than I thought.

You say they're trying to pack even more mythology in?  Jesus.  All the mythology I need to know about any movie series should be placed in the first movie.  Small bits to expand that mythology are alright in sequels so long as they serve to further the plot.  Sounds like they're just overcomplicating it.
