Pirates as Symphony
So Ottawa Citizen film reviewer Jay Stone only gives it 1 1/2 stars…perhaps that’s why I go into the theatre expecting very little from Pirates of the Caribbean, At World’s End…other than Hans Zimmer’s great music that is. Which in fact would have been enough. I’d enjoy the movie as if attending the symphony. Any good visuals would be a bonus…which they were. Sweeping seascape vistas, canon balls ripping and exploding through seafaring timber, Johnny Depp(s) at sea in a desert of stones turned crabs and Keira Knightley’s exquisitely beautiful face were more than enough to make this a most enjoyable entertainment, more so I’d say than either of its two predecessors.
