Review Detail

POTC 2 and 3 were overlong, confused messes which took a simple premise from the first film and stretched it beyond belief and enjoyment. DSM2337 attempts to simplify the movies, the character's motives and streamline the entire affair into a sub 3 hour movie. It's pretty successful too. The movies look great despite 2 and 3 originally having slightly different color tones. The editing is great, scenes are mixed well and flow really nicely, I didn't notice much of the editing. My only issue is with the plot lines from the second movie leading into the third (or about halfway through the fanedit) being slightly confusing. It's not the editor's fault, the movies themselves were labyrinthine at best. In the end I enjoyed this edit far better than the separate films. Overall it was a great watch, a lot of fun and a worthy end to the franchise. Oh wait, there is another one? Best we forget about that altogether.
