Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (*1/2)

Put a fork in this franchise, it's done. I really didn't like Dead Man's Chest but was willing to give this latest Pirates flick a chance. Maybe they were just saving it all for the finale. Well, they certainly saved it all, but none of it was good. Running an almost ungodly 2 hours and 48 minutes, Pirates 3 is pure torture. It's The Matrix Revolutions, only worse. It's way too convoluted for it's own good. A clean, simple story would have done wonders. Whatever goodwill was gained by Curse of the Black Pearl has long since been squandered. If there's a fourth Pirates film, count me out.
