Awful

Rating: 3/10 (28 May 2007)

No plot at least not one that was written in advance. The movie seems to have been made up as they went along, key characters are introduced and killed off for no reason without advancing any plot.
I mean what happened to Calypso!? Enslaved by the pirate brethren into human form and betrayed by her lover(Davy Jones) she is freed from her human form and does what exactly?? Makes a maelstrom between two ships that they obligingly sail into! She vowed to kill all the pirate brethren so why didn't she do that?
And poor Norrington is just killed off by Davy Jones' crew who start battling with the English on the flying Dutch man and then just stop when asked by the English commander. Why did they break orders to kill the English and then just stop????
The whole thing reminded me of two seven year olds role playing with action figures and making it up as they went along.
Little of the humour of the first episode, I think I only found one thing funny in the whole movie.
As for that scene where Kiera Knightley assumes a commanding role on the ship and starts shouting about freedom what were they thinking! Was it a deliberate parody of Braveheart? I don't think it was intended to be funny so I'm assuming it wasn't, it was really cringe worthy and laughable for all the wrong reasons!
