First things first, I will turn into Venom once more when I upload these few pics on the HOTTEST DOND suitcase girls...!
Now, my thoughts on "Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End", which I had watched last night at Bugis... and you're hearing this from somebody who never really followed the POTC series as much as the Spider-Man series or Star Wars saga.
- It was a little dull at the start cos we dont get to see Captain Jack Sparrow in the first 30 minutes of the show. But when we do, he was dealing with multiple copies of himself in Davy Jones' locker. Captain Jack was still as bizzare as ever when he later moved around the ship in order to turn it upside down so that the crew can get back to the normal dimension when "up is down" and "sunrise comes at the flash of green". Other note-worthy mentions...
- I now understood what was in the locket that Davy Jones held in his hand... a picture of Calypso. Same goes for the locket in Calypso's possession. He and the sea goddess used to be lovers, but he was forced to carve out his heart when he was unable to bear the pain of losing Calypso, prior to teaching the Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court on how to lock her into human form out of scorned love. And just as I had guessed, Davy Jones used to be human (cos if he weren't, then he would have gone by a different name altogether)
- Calpyso, who was finally free from her human bonds halfway through the film, transformed into a giantess and later split into thousands of crabs... she creates a violent maelstrom which becomes the battlefield between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman. Calypso, being totally neutral, refuses to intervene in the ultimate battle, instead providing both sides an even battle ground to determine the outcome. Calypso wants the pirates to feel her wrath for imprisoning her in human form, and also wants revenge on Davy Jones for betraying her years ago.
- The part where Will and Elizabeth decided to get married during the big fight was kinda interesting, with Captain Barbossa as the 'priest'. What a strange time to hold a wedding! Im glad that both Will and Elizabeth forgave each other of their doubts. And it was also good to see Captain Barbossa as a full-flegded ally to the crew of the Black Pearl.
- No surprise that Sao Feng would be killed some time before the final battle, esp when he isnt really a major player. However, he did have the honour of saying this now immortal line, "Captain Barbossa... welcome to Singapore." And yep, Chow Yun Fatt's English is indeed quite atrocious!!
- Serves Lord Beckett right for choosing the wrong path and allying himself with Davy Jones' crew... he and the representatives of the East India Trading Company certainly got what they deserved when The Endeavor gets totally pummelled by the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman.
- Lastly, Im glad that Captain Jack gave up his dreams of immortality (altho he really wanted to live forever) by selflessly allowing Will Turner stab the heart of Davy Jones in order to attain immortality and become the captain of the ship. The part on Jones' heart placed in a chest was somewhat similar to that of the Demon King Tosakanth from the fabled legend Ramakien...
I would say that the movie overall was not bad... I rate it 7 out of 10, in spite of the numerous question marks it left in my mind for a while. Do catch it while u can (only if your'e a fan of pirates), and u wont be disappointed at all.
