I was expecting the creative, imaginative story that will pull you in at the beginning and spit you out at the end, not leaving a single second available for boredom. That is not what happened here. Many scenes were half-baked, not thought through properly. I hope that the next one is going to get Pirates of Caribbean back on track!

Boring as hell. Though I will admit I really liked the mermaids and even the mermaid/missionary relationship.

They could have cut the entire mermaid plot line out and I would haven’t missed a thing. Same goes for the Spanish, I couldn’t really figure out what their purpose in the film was. The mother/father conflict was under developed. But I found the first half pretty entertaining before it started to sputter through the second half.

The third Mummy movie really did suck, and felt somewhat like a stand alone film.

I also wish they did more with Captain Jack, but Depp is always amusing as him, and I still had some fun with this enjoyable Summer blockbuster. Good review, check out mine when you can!

The film had its moments but they were few and far between and some parts were just far-fetched (moreso than normal) – like Jack masquerading as a judge…

The film was not the worst of 2011 but it was far from the best…

Not as good as the first or second, but leaps and bounds better the the third, IMO.
