THE BIGGEST Disappointment OF THE SUMMER

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2006)

Until now x-men the last stand has been the biggest disappointment of the summer and i wouldn't have guessed that pirates would be an even larger disappointment.
its hard to say why this one isn't as good as the first one I mean it has all of the components great special effect good story and the tone has shifted to a darker one. Darker films has always been more interesting and it is more interesting in POTC DMC but in retrospective i don't think that a darker tone is necessary in a POTC film because the film don't know if it wants to be a dark and violent film or a funny adventure film just like the first one. which is a little annoying in my opinion.
the trailer features some clips on a big sword fight I thought was going to be great to watch but it was really boring and un-epic much because of the music that isn't bad but not as good as in the first film.
the film is too long and therefore full of unnecessary scenes such as: a bar fight the first time the kraken attacks a ship and swallows jack sparrows hat that floats by, i mean come on who cares about jacks hat anyway?
however the film has some bright spots the FIRST time you watch it (i have only seen it once) such as all the scenes featuring Stellan Skarsgard and most of this scenes are very dark and even scary sometimes and the first big scene with the kraken (the one that I mentioned earlier just take a couple of seconds)this scene is the best action sequence of the film and just because of that almost the same scene reappears one more time as the climax of the film but it isn't much of a climax really because you have already seen it in a better version.
However the acting is good and the special effects is worthy of an Oscar and as I am a special effect lover this is a huge plus for the film. Johnny Depp is superb as usual but the script doesn't have the same jokes as in the first film and this makes Depp's performance useless in some cases.
i believe that this is a film that becomes better for every time you see it so hopefully I will give this film 10 out of ten rather than 7 out of ten when i see it again.
oh i forgot! I really really hate the cliffhanger ending I hated it in Matrix reloaded and I hate it in this film to.
