Yo-ho, a pirate's life for me!

Maybe you've recognized the title of today's post (part of the lyrics of the song the pirates sing), and if not, you only need to take a look at the first image here to realize what I'm going to talk about. Yes, that's right, The movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". I watched "At the World's End" last saturday and I have to say that it was great!I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet (what are you waiting for?), so I'll just tell you some parts of the plot (nothing you don't know so far).
First of all, for those who don't know, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is the third in the Pirates of the Caribbean films following The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest.
In previous movies, they tell us how Lord Cutler Beckett executes anyone associated with piracy and commands Davy Jones to destroy all pirate ships. To confront Beckett’s assault, the nine pirate lords making up the Brethren Court have been summoned to convene on Shipwreck Island. However, the missing Jack Sparrow, pirate lord of the Caribbean, never appointed his successor, and therefore must be present. Captain Barbossa leads Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma and the Black Pearl crew to rescue Jack.
Jack, stranded in the Locker for some time, begins hallucinating. The Pearl is soon dragged to an ocean shore by crab-like creatures, and Jack is reunited with his old shipmates, although he is initially reluctant to rejoin a crew that have attempted to kill or mutinied against him.
The Black Pearl remains trapped in the Locker until Sparrow deciphers the chart, realizing the ship must be capsized to return to the living world... But will they be able to do it??
The special FX are a plus in the movie, as they are, as always, superb. The pirates are also awesome (especially Jack Sparrow and Barbossa). It was a nice surprise to find Chow Yun-Fat in the cast, who was brilliant as always!
So, just to finish, if you like pirate movies, and you liked the previous ones, you really need to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End" as soon as possible!! and Keep tuned!!
