Nope. Apparently there's meant to be at least another trilogy.

Anyhow, REVIEW!
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the best endings to one of the best trilogies since the original Star Wars films. Yes, critical reception is mixed now, but years later, the Pirates Trilogy will be undoubtedly be looked back upon as some of the greatest films ever made. At World’s End manages that holy grail of movies, where sharp characters, action, and top-notch writing meet to create a product worth more then the sum of their parts. Despite being nearly three hours long, it still doesn’t feel long enough, for you will undoubtfully want to live and learn about the unique and fantastic universe of Pirates.
At the opening, we find the age of piracy coming to an end. The East India Trading Company has declared a preverbal war on the pirates, hanging all those convicted of piracy. The crew we last met in Dead Man’s Chest need to revive the witty Captain Jack, so Captain Barbosa, Elizabeth, and the remains of Jack’s crew stop in Shanghai, to get a crew and a ship. After an explosive run-in with the Trading Company, the crew set out to find Jack, who has gone a little crazier in Davy Jones’s Locker. They need Jack and the other pirate lords to gather the Nine Pieces of Eight, to summon a goddess of the sea, to assist the pirates in their final standoff. With the Trading Company and Davy Jones teaming up to take down Sparrow and the gang, they need all the help they can get. Within this plot there will be an ocean of backstabbing, secret agendas, and even long unrequited love affairs. The plot throws in a multitude of twists and turns that may leave you scratching your head. But, fans of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and other complex films should have no trouble at all following the wonderfully rich plot.
The stories about these pirates are told through fantastic performances. Every character is quite lovable in their own way, and memorable through excellent characterization. Johnny Depp once again plays the devilishly smart Captain Jack Sparrow, along with Geoffrey Rush playing the long awaited return of Captain Barbosa. When these two are on screen, their childlike arguments and banter provide hilarious moments, and the pair is onscreen magic. Orlando Bloom takes up the role of William Turner, who plays opposite to the Kira Knightly as lovely and fiery Elizabeth Swann. Both performances haven’t changed much since the first film, but the onscreen duo provide great moments when together, and still carry strong on their own. No epic movie would be complete without an equally epic villain, and Bill Nighy returns to voice the fearsome Davy Jones. His powerful and chilling voice provides one of the most interesting and dynamic film antagonists since Darth Vader made his appearance so many years ago. The side characters also give a stellar performance that makes the world of Pirates so lively and fun.
Aside from the characters and story-telling, there is plenty of action. The swashbuckling sword duals and epic sea battles the series is known for comes back in full swing. The many action sequences provide some of the film’s greatest moments, be it the crews struggle with the harsh sea or over-the-top sword fighting that results in moments of tension, excitement, and humor. The scenes are well thought out and provide epic and memorable moments that compare to the many amazing scenes in Star Wars. The final battle at the end of the film is one of the greatest thirty minutes in filmmaking history, comparable to the destruction of the Death Star and the standoff of good and evil at the end of Lord of the Rings.
When it comes to visuals, World’s End raises the bar to a new height. The animation alone found on Davy Jones is marvel to look at, and show a real dedication to make Davy Jones as true to life as possible. Even more impressive is the lack of computer animation is many of the sequences, making the action even more compelling. Many of the actions scenes, be it the destruction of boats or intense sword battles, are all real and makes the world of Pirates even more believable. The film would not have been nearly as compelling if computer animation was used in most of the film, a big negative point against the recent Star Wars films and more recently, Spider Man 3. But World’s End uses just enough computer animation to not throw the viewer into Uncanny Valley, but still transport us to a world not like our own. An amazing musical score that is as dynamic as the film itself accompanies the visuals and propels the film into an epic scale. Listening to the music will dictate the tide of battle or the complex emotions of the characters. There is not a score out of place, and was given as much care as the rest of the movie’s many elements. This all adds to an amazing movie experience that is worth seeing over and over.
If there is only one complaint I can think of is the slight feeling of emptiness after seeing this final chapter. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is the movie that makes you a movie fan, and ends this trilogy on a very satisfying note. It has been years since an amazing swashbuckling film has come around, but Disney went ahead and gave use three. This may be the last we see of Jack Sparrow and his friends, but I think we can all doubt this is it. I can not wait to see where his compass points to next, and I will be waiting to hear more about Jack’s adventures in the world. But for now, this pirate’s life is one to see.
5 out of 5 Stars
Pros: Acting; writing; visuals; action; just about everything; one of the best damn films ever made
Cons: It’s the end (or is it?)

It was FANTASTIC imo. I'm not sure why so many critics dislike it. Quality-wise it was just spectacular. The battles were epic. The music and effects and costumes and everything was just spot-on. It was captivating and epic and emotional.
