I purchased The Prophecy complete collection from Amazon. There are two boxed sets available, a 3 film version and a 5 film version. If you get one, get the 3 film version. The final two films have nothing to do with the first three films and while not bad films per se, they do detract from the original trilogy. The only thing they have in common is a reference to a prophecy. The first three films are great films (in my opinion of course), but the transfer of them – the first film especially – left a lot to be desired. Hopefully the 3 film edition used a different transfer and are substantially better.

ReviewsJust watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End: It’s not bad. Why isn’t it as good as the song and dance (and marketing) made it out to be? Because it was too damn long.
By the end I was bored of seeing Jonny Depp swinging around yet more rigging. I was bored of the multiple double crossings that was happening because they are “pirates – yarr”. And I was bored of far too much CGI.
Over 2 and half hours is too long for a throw-away franchise movie like the PotC movies are.
With the main characters being killed off at the rate of about 1 every half hour I thought this would be the last one, but no, they left it open for a 4th…
