A most entertaining adventure...

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

Given how much I loved Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, I was almost certain that I would love Dead Man's Chest. But NOTHING could have prepared me for the wild adventure Dead Man's Chest turned out to be. It was, for me, clearly the best movie I have ever seen and has officially pushed The Curse of the Black Pearl into second place on my list of favourite movies. The movie still has the same, warm "Pirates" feel about it but is packed with lots more adventure, hilarious laughs, and an all-round great movie which is DEFINITELY worth seeing. Don't be fooled by what other critics have said about it being a flop and a disappointment; I was nowhere near disappointed, if anything, it was BETTER than what I had expected. Towards the end of the movie are three major shocks, some of you will see some of them coming, but mark my words: Nobody will leave the cinema and say "I saw all that coming" because nobody could possibly foresee the great work that the POTC cast and crew have done - yet again. I give this movie 10/10, without the slightest doubt in my mind. Go see it. It is truly enjoyable.
