| Critic's NotebookMartin TsaiThe fact that Mr. Marshall can't even measure up is more than a bit embarrassing. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovBears little relationship to the spry, hilarious blockbuster that spawned it. It's a dead-eyed corporate facsimile. |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle AlexandriaI don't know who to blame for such an awful looking movie - the Director or Cinematographer. If I have to spend 2 1/2 hours in this world, can they at least make it watchable?" |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff Meyers...unforgivably, doesn't achieve a single rousing moment- a staple of any successful swashbuckler. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonSeems to share Blackbeard's mercenary dedication to finding its own Fountain of Youth, to keep "Pirates" alive beyond its natural point of expiration. Which was 2006. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThis is eye-catching and forgettable in the patented Bruckheimer manner, which means you should be entertained if you're not expecting anything new. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyThe characters extricate themselves far too easily from difficult situations and there's no sense of excitement. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe narrative leaves much to be desired, but compared to the previous 2 chapters, at least it offers some thrills, sporadic humor and fun, not to mention Spanish spitfire Penelope Cruz. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIsn't quite as bad as the last movie in the series, but it's still a lumbering mess lacking any of the charm of the initial installment. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt's never quite clear what the relationship between Jack and Angelica is. Sometimes it's love, sometimes it's hate; it probably depended on who was writing the script that day. |
