10 Dead Man's Chest's out of 10

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2006)

I have been to see this movie twice, and it has only been out in Australia for two days. I am an enormous Johnny Depp fan and so of course I had to see the very first session of this movie. The main question I wanted answered was, "Would this movie live up to the legend that was The Curse of the Black Pearl?"
I am pleased to tell you that not only does this movie live up to the BP, it exceeds it. DMC is amazing!! The acting is exquisite, the special effects are astonishing, the music is inspiring, the jokes are endless, the storyline is flawless and the ending leaves you satisfied though still wanting more and wishing that we were just a little bit closer to May, 2007.
The characters in this film are just as amazing and intricate as the first. There are the main characters, each with their goals, priorities and little quirks to go along with it.
The costumes and sets are amazing. Each character has an individual quality and looks authentic for their person. The islands of the Caribbean act as a playground for each scene, complimenting the storyline and actors.
I heard a bad review of this movie before it's premiere date and I thought I may be in for a disappointment. How wrong I was.
Go and see this movie as soon as you can. It will push fans of the first film to further heights and will make fans of those who haven't seen the first (though I cannot imagine why they haven't). Gore Verbinski has yet again gone above and beyond and Jerry Bruckheimer has delivered another great film. I only wish that one day I too can direct as well as this.
