Advantages: Piratical humour, songs, dance; A great operetta, good to see it re-released Disadvantages: None
Allen is not known over here and had not acted in opera before this but is a good enough pirate king. Janis Kelly (Mabel) and Alexander Oliver (Frederic) are well suited as the lovers. Gillian Knight (Ruth) is an experienced Savoyard.
Each act is introduced by Douglas Fairbanks Junior. The extras include a 16 minute ?Making of? ? featurette. This gives the fascinating insight that each operetta had a very tight schedule: one week for rehearsal and one week for shooting. There is a ?Life and Times Of Gilbert and Sullivan? storyboard.

Advantages: Action and adventure, great scenes, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp Disadvantages: A bit long
Pirates of the Caribbean at World end is the third movie in the Pirates trilogy. It follows the crew of the Black Pearl (the Pirate ship) rescuing Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker and then preparing to fight the East Indian Trading Company who are intent on extinguishing piracy. I'm not going to spoil the rest of the plot/movie for you as I believe you should see it for yourself so I will just now review the rest of the DVD and what I thought of the film/films.
At the box office it was actually the most successful film of 2007 and is the second most successful film in the series. I think even if action and adventure films aren't for you (they aren't my most favourite) this would still be a film you like as it is very funny in places, the sets are brilliant and the action really is very well choreographed.
