boring

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2007)

POTC-2 is a proof that the best special effects and a selected cast are not enough for a good movie. This film has indeed impressive visuals, and continues the first installment with some of the best (and best paid) actors in the industry. And yet, it cannot help becoming boring and being almost unbearably long, despite its pretensions of being an action film. To be frank, I had a hard time following the action, and worse, I also had the feeling that it did not matter too much. POTC-2 has a story that can be condensed in a few pages of a comics book, but it looks like long and complicated, and repetitive. So yes, I enjoyed the effects, and I like seeing actors like Depp and Bloom and the rest of the crowd in any movie, but this is not enough for a good film, and I think that kids also got a little bored by this movie.
Ohm yes, I know, series three is out. Actually it's already on my DVD player and I started to see it.
