DVD Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's EndPirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
2-Disc Limited Edition
Directed by Gore Verbinski
Starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley
Walt Disney Home Entertainment
Available on Dec. 4, 2007

In this third installment of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, our favorite pirate Captain Jack Sparrow returns … from the dead, thanks to a rescue mission that takes the returning cast of familiar characters beyond the farthest reaches of the world — to World’s End.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) leads the East India Trading Company in a brutal campaign to end piracy by declaring martial law and enlisting Davy Jones, the tentacled captain of the cursed ghost ship The Flying Dutchman (Bill Nighy), to destroy any pirate ship sailing the seas. Beckett goes so far as to send to the gallows anyone even suspected of associating with pirates. While awaiting their fate at the noose, the chained and shackled prisoners begin to sing the pirate song “Hoist the Colours,” which summons the nine pirate lords known as the Brethren Court to meet again at Shipwreck Cove to combat Beckett’s attacks.

Meanwhile, in Singapore, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), along with his crew of The Black Pearl, seek an audience with the pirate lord Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat) to obtain the map to World’s End so they can rescue Sparrow — one of the nine pirate lords — from Davy Jones’ Locker, a purgatory for condemned souls.

That’s about as much as I can describe before the plot gets really complicated. There’s so much going on in this movie, that it takes several viewings to get it straight, and even then there’s a good chance you’ll miss something. Alliances are formed, then betrayed, then re-established, then broken, and so on — but hey, these are pirates.

First BornFirst Born #3
Written by Ron Marz
Art by Stjepan Sejic

Letters by Troy Peteri
Top Cow Productions
Cover price: $2.99; On-sale: Nov. 28, 2007

And now we come to the end of Top Cow’s big summer event, or big fall event such as it is. Much like the first two issues of this mini, it does a decent job, and has some very nice artwork, but is basically unspectacular and kind of lost on me. This has been an event for fans of the Witchblade and Darkness properties, and is not a bad jumping on point, but could definitely have been done better.

Sara Pezzini, the former Witchblade, has her pregnancy come to full term in this issue. Meanwhile Jackie Estacado, the wielder of the Darkness, is forced to protect his baby’s mama from the forces of the Angelus. This is the big fight issue with most of the issue taken up with the battle between the Darkness and the Angelus.
