Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,

Drink up me 'earties, yo ho."

The story of the Pirates of the Caribbean is now complete, at least on the big screen. There are quite a few plots that could become new movies but I don't think they ever will, we can only imagine in our heads.

*SPOILER ALERT**SPOILER ALERT** SPOILER ALERT**SPOLIER ALERT*

(That means stop reading if you haven't already seen the movie and dont want to know the details and how it ends).

Will Captain Jack Sparrow find the Fountain of the Youth? Will Captain "Hector" Barbossa find Captain Jack and get the portion of the map that he stole back? Do Tia Dalma and Davey Jones live happily after? And of course Elizabeth and William Turner, they are together again but not in the way many wanted them to be, especially Marsha. This Disney movie doesn't have the ultimate happy ending and I think that works well in this case. Once every ten years is better then never right? William Turner seemed to change his focus from POTC 2 to POTC 3 away from getting the girl to rescuing his father who was trapped on the Flying Dutchman and at the end he accomplished both in a way. I really liked the scenes of Jack in Davey Jones locker especially the part where they played clips from the actual ride audio, a way for the movie makers to pay tribute to the ride that started it all. The addition of Captain Teague (Keith Richards) as Jack's dad, although short in time, was awesome. Richards is exactly what you would picture Jack's dad to look like and talk like. When Jack asked how his mom was doing and his dad held up the shrunken head, I almost spit out some of my diet coke! When we were first introduced to Jack he was in a small dinghy style boat and Barbossa was piloting the Black Pearl and that is how we leave them. I like the way they ended the relationship between those two, a full circle.

After the movie completed the theater seemed to empty out pretty fast but I made Marsha sit through the credits because there had to be something at the end right? In POTC 1 it was the monkey stealing a piece of the Cortez gold and becoming a skeleton and in POTC 2 it was the dog sitting in as the chief of the tribe that Jack escaped from. So we waited and after the final credit rolled there it was, "Ten Years Later" so I am glad we stayed!

I can't wait until it is released on video, I am guessing in November/December time frame.
