The third and so far the last film in the (so far) trilogy. 2009. Director: Gore Vebinski.
Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) possesses Davy Jones's (Bill Nighy) heart, and he then also controls the squid-looking captain. Davy and his crew is forced to destroy all other pirate ships, to help Beckett to stop piracy.
Nine captains, all members of the Brethren Court, has to gather again to come up with a plan to stop Beckett. But one of the members are missing, Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
He's trapped in The Locker, where he's hallucinating aboard on the Black Pearl which the Kraken pulled down with Jack, to where he's now trapped. Elisabeth (Keira Knightley) and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) persuades the asian captain Sao Feng (Chow Yun Fat) to help them getting Jack back.
They leave with Will (Orlando Bloom), who believe that Elisabeth is in love with Jack after seeing her kiss Jack passionately before letting the Kraken bring him down. But Will doesn't know the truth, why she kissed Jack.
Finally, they get to The Locker and after some discussion with a confused Jack, they leave with the Black Pearl. But getting back will be much harder then getting there. Luckily, they manage to return to the real world.
Will has promised his father (Stellan Skarsgard) to kill Jones to free him. But if he killes Jones, then he must take the place as the captain of the Dutchman, because there always has to be a captain. And he can't stop being the captain in any other way then death.
This film is sometimes just too much. The set which is suppose to look like Singapore, it ridicolous, really. It looks just like a studio. Anyone could see that. That's a bit unfortunate.
It's still very entertaing, even though almost everything is pushed to the limits of what's imaginable. Or, almost nothing is imaginable if you want it to be realistic. But if you don't want everything to be realistic, then I guess that this is all right.
One of the worst things in this film is that there's no chemistry what's so ever, between Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. Their caracters's romance doesn't feel real, not just a bit. That's pretty bad.
