Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
We watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End with the kids over the weekend, and, like PotC: Dead Man's Chest, it was much better than I was anticipating.
***SPOILERS***
I didn't like Kiera Knightly - she seems too skinny and sqwaky for a piratess - and I was very upset that Jack Davenport got killed. I thought the Calypso/Davy Jones thread was interesting, although I was a little disappointed at the way that turned out. Even though I hated Orlando Bloom's character, Will Turner, for the first two PotC movies, I really liked him in this one, and I was crushed when he was killed. I've heard rumors that this is the last PotC movie they'll be making, at least with these characters. If that's true, I'm glad because I don't want them to run the franchise into the ground - I'd much rather have them end on a high note - but I'm bummed because some of these characters (Will, Jack, I'm looking at you) are appealing. I would like to see them replace Kiera Knightly, though. Catherine Zeta Jones would be a much better piratess, I think.
