Résumés(1)
L'âge d'or de la piraterie touche à sa fin. Même le terrifiant Vaisseau Fantôme et son capitaine maudit Davy Jones servent à présent Lord Cutler Beckett et la Compagnie anglaise des Indes Orientales. L'invincible Hollandais Volant écume désormais les sept mers, massacrant sans pitié pirates de tous bords et sabordant leurs navires. Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann et le capitaine Barbossa n'ont qu'une seule chance de résister à Beckett et à son armada destructrice : ils doivent rassembler les Neuf Seigneurs de la Cour des Frères, mais l'un des membres les plus éminents, le capitaine Jack Sparrow, manque à l'appel. Will, Elizabeth et Barbossa, secondés par Tia Dalma, Pintel et Ragetti, doivent faire voile vers des mers orientales inconnues, pour affronter un pirate chinois, le capitaine Sao Feng, et s'emparer des cartes qui les conduiront au-delà des limites du monde connu, là où Jack est retenu...

Alors, je viens de relire mon commentaire négatif sur le numéro deux et j’ai réalisé qu’il m’avait fallu huit années avant que je ne me décide à affronter le trois. Comme film de divertissement, ça marche, d’autant plus que les films de pirates ne sont pas légion. Néanmoins, il aurait fallu un scénariste ou dramaturge chevronné pour réduire le montage d’au moins une heure et en faire une aventure vive et passionnante. En l'état actuel des choses, tous ces capitaines, clans de pirates et enchevêtrements narratifs m’ont donné le tournis. Je ne vais pas tarder à regarder le numéro quatre parce que je suis impatient de voir Bardem dans le cinq et que j’ai besoin de la continuité.

One of the most anticipated films of the packed summer of 2007, in which I got a lot of Johnny Depp, a fierce Keira Knightley, the pre-proclaimed Chow Yun-Fat, and finally, after a clearly defined happy ending, we go home. Or not? Pirates of the Caribbean turned out to be an unexpectedly unpredictable work. Things that seemed clear and predetermined ended up a bit different, and the creators, even after getting stuck multiple times in the beginning, finally came up with an unforgettable finale. I admit that, in the first half, I was disappointed, and several times I caught myself thinking that if the whole movie ended in a similar manner, I would consider the entire third part of the series a missed opportunity. The dialogue was occasionally truly ridiculous and half-hearted, Sao Feng's behavior illogical, and everything was saved by Depp, who confirmed that he will never disappoint. But Gore Verbinski didn't forget to do some directing, and moreover, he brought in semi-god Hans Zimmer to collaborate, who unleashed hell with his variation on Ennio Morricone's compositions accompanying the battle, which lasted almost an hour. The final battle in the whirlwind is an incredible spectacle that takes your breath away, Verbinski manages to keep under control and all the events that frame it, even where other directors would easily lose their teeth (Elizabeth's speech to the pirates). And I wouldn't have believed that the ending of this trilogy would move me to tears before the screening. The Flying Dutchman still sails, and Pirates of the Caribbean won't become a trilogy that will change cinema forever. But few can imitate its entertainment value.

Almost three hours of mismanaged megalomania that has nothing to do with good entertainment. Verbinski couldn't pull off the digital ridiculousness, so he just put scenes together scenes one after the other without any invention. There is an incredible mess between the characters, the backstabbing gets boring after a while, and the amount of perspective inherent in the previous two films is sorely lacking. If it were half an hour shorter, it would be the blockbuster of the year, but this is a pompous bore that grabs your attention only with a reference to Leone and a funny cameo by Keith Richards.

You have to give it to the third Pirates movie: you can see and hear each and every dollar in it. Really loudly. Which is unusual in popcorn movies lately. Production design, effects, Zimmer’s music, the camerawork... On the technical side, almost nothing to fault. The running time certainly is over-long, there isn’t much of a screenplay and so it dwells in the “everybody plotting against everybody else" bracket. But where part two dawdled about in androgynous family entertainment going nowhere, here the Pirates have become darker and the protagonists have moved from the black and white into the gray character zone where nobody wears a halo. And that’s good, because hand in hand with it becoming more “serious", there is less humor, mainly of the infantile type. Not that it disappeared completely, but it isn’t humor at all costs like last time. And also the Jack character takes a rear seat, which is a significant improvement and does much to rehabilitate the Sparrow figure itself. The space left by him is taken up more than skillfully by Rush. And still, we get humor; “Larry" is a Monty Python caliber gag. It mainly depends what you want out of the third Pirates - if it’s some harmless way of spending time with the whole family, like the first two parts, then you will be disappointed. If it’s technically precise viewing that, despite a few little flaws (or sometimes huge ones - pointless storylines, animal escapades, multiJack etc.), is bursting with just the right pirate feel to it, then you could give this episode a go... And the neat homage to Leone and Morricone warms the heart.

The plot twists and the chattiness of the trio of “Pirates” remind me a lot of our glorious parliament. Endless quarrels and fights, here played for the eye of the spectator, here meant seriously; on the outside they appear as irreconcilable rivals, but behind the scenes, out of the public eye, they even toast each other with "pirate rum", at one moment they are falling each other's arms, and the next they could stab each other in the back and nobody would be any wiser. The admirable precision of the production design and visual effects deserves praise, the final battle raises the overall impression a lot, but it's more than two hours long! With all that politics the creators deserve to be flogged. Or better still, they should be condemned to smell Jack Sparrow’s socks for two weeks in a row.
