Please state whether your post contains spoilers or not, at least for long enough for most people to see the film
***NO SPOILERS***
Just got back from watching this.
I'm not exactly a Pirates fanatic, i just enjoy a good film, and after enjoying the first 2, was quite looking forward to this.
I thought it was absolutely amazing. Right from the start your sucked in and I personally didn't find time to get bored. The 3 hours seemed to fly over.
The film balances non-stop action and storytelling very well. The Turner/Swan love story is dumbed down nicely so as to not make the film a love story. The action sequences are great. The 'final fight' so to speak seems to go on for ages (in a good way!) The set pieces look great and there are some beautiful shots.
It can however be a bit gruesome at times. It pushes the limits of '12A' at times i feel.
The story is fantastic but can be quite intense at times and I found myself having to run a catch up in my head, I think it will be quite hard for kids to follow, it does however have some nice little twists, some more predictable than others.
It also leaves the franchise open to a good story for a sequel, but not in a way that there are questions at the the end, more the last few scenes set it up.
All in all its a fantastic film that I would love to see again and would recommend to anyone.
