2. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Now, let's just ignore the fact that this is a Disney children's film that opens with a scene of children being executed by hanging. But let's address the fact that this is a children's film with a total run time of two hours and 48 minutes. That is almost unheard of. Even the longest Harry Potter film (Chamber of Secrets, trivia fans), which are known for their length, isn't as long as this film. That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that this film is such a convoluted mess of storytelling that I found incredibly difficult to follow. And I'm a grown man, sort of. Characters triple and quadruple cross one another till not only do you not know who is working for whom, but you don't particularly care. Then the multiple Johnny Depp's turn up. To say more about this film would be to waste my time. It needs an hour and twenty minutes cut from it, a simplified story, Keira Knightley not becoming the King of Pirates (?) and the line: "We have the nine pieces of eight!" removed from the world for sheer stupidity. In fact, this franchise could have done with being three films shorter.
