ch Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
After Elizabeth, Will, and Captain Barbossa rescue Captain Jack Sparrow from the the land of the dead, they must face their foes, Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett. Beckett, now with control of Jones' heart, forms a dark alliance with him in order to rule the seas and wipe out the last of the Pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma, and crew must call the Pirate Lords from the four corners of the globe, including the infamous Sao Feng, to gathering. The Pirate Lords want to release the goddess Calypso, Davy Jones's damned lover, from the trap they sent her to out of fear, in which the Pirate Lords must combine the 9 pieces that bound her by ritual to undo it and release her in hopes that she will help them fight. With this, all pirates will stand together and will make their final stand for freedom against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the entire East India Trading
nudity | 3/10 In the beginning, Elizabeth is asked to remove her weapons and clothes to enter Sao Feng's bathhouse, many of which are hidden in humorously questionable spots. We don't see her change, but later see her reduced to a very short bath robe. Ragetti, hidden under the floorboards, looks up under her skirt (though we don't see anything). He gets Pintel to look as well but, at that point, a large man has taken Elizabeth's place, issuing a look of disgust from Pintel. At the end, it is implied that Will and Elizabeth, now married, have sex on an island beach . Will is seen putting on his boots while Elizabeth is dressed in a flimsy skirt. She puts her bare leg, apart from Will's other boot, on a rock and Will takes it and tenderly kisses it. Several passionate kisses throughout the movie. Sexual innuendoes are made at points. |
violence | 7/10 A dozen or so people are hanged from gallows, including a young boy. They stand in line waiting their turn. We see the nooses tied around their necks and the executioner pulls the lever. The camera shows the hangings from below the gallows as the trap doors open and the feet fall through and jerk to a stop. After an explosion a man is pushed against a ship wall and impaled with a large piece of wood (we see him on the floor with the blood-stained wood sticking out of his abdomen and we see him die). A man shoots and kills two beautiful twin girls in the faces. Davy Jones forces his tentacles into the nose, ears and mouth of a man killing him (we hear squishing and a crunch). A dead man is strapped to a barrel, is pulled out of the water and we see his very bloody back where birds have apparently pecked at him (we see another body floating on a barrel in the distance with many birds flying around and standing on him). A man stabs another man with a sword, the stabbed man stabs another one in the heart, but nothing happens to him, letting the one stabbed to die. We see a dead man lying in a pool of water, and when he is turned over we see a large spike in his mouth and sticking out the top of his head. A man is stabbed in the heart and lies dying on the deck of a ship. A man holds a bloody still-beating heart in his hand and a dagger in the other, and he stabs the heart. A man who has grown into the side of a ship pulls himself away and his brain is exposed (it wobbles around like Jell-O); then the man holds the brain in his hand and licks it. Epic battle sequences take place throughout the movie. There are scores of shootings, stabbings, slashings, and cannon blasts. There is some blood in these fight scenes. A man's foot freezes and when he tries to bend his toe it breaks off (no blood). |
profanity | 2/10 A man says "bloody hell, there's nothing left". 3 use of bloody, 1 use of hell, 1 use of bastard. 1 use of damn. |
alcohol | Jack imagines interacting with other duplicate versions of himself, with one asking about port (meaning sailing), and Jack saying he prefers rum. The other mentions port as in sailing, where you can get rum and assorted wenches. Many people shown tipsy. |
frightening | The film is very intense especially towards the 2nd half (the battle scene). Despite its comedic undertones, it does have a serious sense of menace, supernatural threat and scary images; The appearance of various monstrous type characters, including Davy Jones with his heavily tentacled face, might frighten some younger viewers. This scene isn't violent or scary, but is intense. When Tia is in jail on the Pearl, Davy Jones visits her. We learn that Tia broke his heart and changed him into his hideous form. It's a great scene where you get to sympathize with Davy Jones for all he has been through. The only intense part is when Jones tries to strangle her with his crab arm. Will is stabbed through with a sword, and is dying. In order to save him, his heart is taken out to be put in the wooden chest (we don't see it). This scene is very intense, however, as his lover is by his side and we feel her emotions. |
