REVIEWLOST AT SEA May 25, 2007
" Uh-huh. And what would be so bad about that? The movie's biggest emotional trump card is Will's effort to rescue his father from a death in life (or life in death) aboard a ghost ship. But the movie takes about 45 minutes to reintroduce that story line (from "Pirates 2") and it has little dramatic heft, especially when we meet Dad (Stellan Skarsgard) and see that he's been turned into a kind of monstrous barnacle. The "Pirates" series had one slender emotional thread on which to hang its story... (San Francisco Chronicle)
