“Worst movie I’ve seen in a while. I got a good hardy-har-har out of the terrible effects. Ryan Reynolds is a terrible actor.”

“To me, this one seemed kind of pointless. The third one seemed to wrap up the trilogy perfectly fine. I didn’t know what to expect I was disappointed. It was a slow start and an even worse ending. But good ol’ Captain Jack Sparrow always manages to make me laugh.”

“It was a different kind of supernatural and having Penelope Cruz in the movie kind of strayed [the plot] off course. I thought it could have been even stranger. All in all, the movie was good.”
