If you thought Dead Man’s Chest was too long, too weird, and too convoluted, we have terrible news about PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END.

Director Gore Verbinski ends his gonzo pirate trilogy in typical maximalist fashion: Gigantic sets, full-size ships, and a three-hour runtime all lead to Nick and Scott pondering a single, possibly depressing question: Did movies ever get bigger than this?

FRANCHISOGRAPHY continues its sprawling chronicle of the Jester of Tortuga, and this week that journey takes us all the way past the edge of the world.
