I bought this dvd as part of a set the dvd quality was goodand the price was very good and the seller posted quickly and efficiently. Of course that this was the third installment of the only quality example of a disney ride based franchise didn't hurt. Usually something based on an amusement park attraction has no right to be good but the production was flawless in story, action, effects and casting Johny depp adeptly led a troop of strong performers on a tour deforce of the fifties style pirate adventure, going where only recent developments in cgi could take us. One of the most surprising things was unlike other movies the cgi was a vehicle but not the driver, this was a story driven epic, which often isn't the case.
I liked the packaging , found the movie itself to be more interesting than later films. Thought going back after Jack into Davey Jones' locker cool. The quality of the movie disc itself seemed to have a common freeze error at around 72 minutes into the film, requiring a hard skip over a few chapters just when things were really unfolding. Had bought a new copy back when the set first came our,got stuck at the same point as well. A suspected layer transitioning error. I would recommend trying the Blu - Ray instead, probably would at least play clear through.

I love the Pirates movies, so since I own the first two, I decided to buy the third one before I had seen it. I mean, you can't have the first two and not have the last one! However, I was a little disappointed about the storyline of this last one-- Kinda hard to follow, too much going on, there were so many new characters and themes. It just wasn't as exciting/entertaining/funny as the first two were. Maybe if I watch it another time I would understand it more.. But apparently I'm not the only one who had a hard time following the plot of the movie: the booklet inside the DVD actually had a Question/Answer section because the movie was so confusing!! Oh well. I guess they got caught up on the special effects (which were pretty cool) and forgot about developing a story. It was an ok movie, but I personally don't think it measured up to the first two at all. I was pretty disappointed. It coulda been so good!! :(Read full review
This is the third and possibly the final installment for the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. Having been filmed back to back with the previous film, Dead Man's Chest, we pick up where we left off with the gang. Jack Sparrow has just been swallowed alive by the Kraken and the East India Trading Company has control over Davy Jones and his devices of torture. Tom Hollander reprises his roll as the menacing Lord Beckett who is attempting to wipe out any and all pirates, (film opens w a line up to the gallows). This time there's not as much explaining to do to follow along with. The final showdown may seem a little querky to the audience being that it's only between three ships out of several hundred, however the visual effects are dazzling and graphic. In this film, Bill Kighy, (Davy) and Naomie Harris, (Tia Lama) have a chance to really appeal to the audience with their relationship as well as having Bill switching back and forth from half human/half squid to an actual human in the effects department. The film also introduces an old pirate brethren hymn called, Hoist The Colours.Read full review
This franchise never seems to disappoint and nothing has changed with the third installment of the trilogy. From the evolution of Elisabeth Swann to the destiny of William Turner and the loveable pirate himself, Captain Jack Sparrow, this finale is visually amazing and contains the most exciting battle probably ever created on screen. Never a dull moment when Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer team up. An absolute must have!!!
