Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a rollicking voyage
in the same spirit of the two earlier Pirates films, yet far
darker in spots (and nearly three hours to boot). The action,
largely revolving around a pirate alliance against the ruthless
East India Trading Company, doesn't disappoint, though the
violence is probably too harsh for young children. Through it
all, the plucky cast (Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey
Rush) are buffeted by battle, maelstroms, betrayal, treachery, a
ferocious Caribbean weather goddess, and that gnarly voyage back
from the world's end--but with their wit intact. As always,
Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow tosses off great lines ; he chastises
"a woman scorned, like which hell hath no fury than!" He insults
an nent with a string of epithets, ending in "yeasty
codpiece."!
In the previous The Curse of the Black Pearl, Sparrow was
killed--sent to Davy Jones' Locker. In the opening scenes, the
viewer sees that death has not been kind to Sparrow--but that's
not to say he hasn't found endless ways to amuse himself,
cavorting with dozens of hallucinated versions of himself on the
deck of the Black Pearl. But Sparrow is needed in this world, so
a daring rescue brings him back. Keith Richards' much ballyhooed
appearance as Jack's dad is little more than a cameo, though he
does play a wistful guitar. But the action, as always, is more
than satisfying, held together by Depp, who, outsmarting the
far-better-armed British yet again, causes a bewigged commander
to muse: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up
as he goes along?" As far as fans are concerned, it matters not.

On the DVD
Here's something you can't say about just any DVD extras: There
appears to be more of Keith Richards in the outtakes, interviews,
and other special features on the At World's End disc than in the
actual film. For those scenes alone, this special edition is well
worth the price. Richards looks as woozy and gamey as all the
rumors suggested, and answers questions he's not asked, with
Johnny Depp sitting next to him, almost acting as a translator.
Richards offers pithy comments like, "Everything I do is
original, you better believe," and smiles when other cast members
call him "Two-Take Richards" for supposedly nailing his scenes.
The packed second disc also includes a terrific mini-doc on how
the filmmakers created the famous maelstrom, in an enormous
hanger in Palmdale, California, with the ships floating 30 feet
off the ground. "Just moving the Black Pearl was an enormous
undertaking," says producer Jerry Bruckheimer with serious
understatement. Other cool extras include "Tale of the Many
Jacks," deleted scenes with great commentary, "The World of Chow
Yun-," a bio of composer Hans Zimmer, features on the set
designers, a look at the impressive Brethren Court, and some
hilarious bloopers. "You can't curse in a Disney film," deadpans
Depp when a costar blurts out something blue. "See? I told him."
The extras are truly as much of a rollicking adventure as the
film. --A.T. Hurley
