Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Movie Review

Parents need to know that Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the third installment of the Pirates franchise. It’s packed with more death, action, and violence than most superhero flicks — from the grim opening sequence in which Caribbean civilians (including a young boy) are led to the gallows to the climactic swashbuckling showdown. Since it’s nearly three hours long, younger kids (or those with short attention spans) may not go the distance. And with so many double crosses and betrayals, the plot may even be confusing for adults. That said, thanks to Disney’s ubiquitous merchandising and advertising campaigns, even 5-year-olds know who Captain Jack Sparrow is, so chances are your youngest kids will want to see it. But if they do, be prepared for them to wake up with nightmares.
