Such a let down

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2009)

What a dismal sequel, it seemed to have been made to cash in on the first and at the same time make way for a third. The term cash-cow comes to mind. This movie is just too long and uninteresting. Davey Jones and his crew are just a mess of special effects more distracting than entertaining. Compared to the first film, Dead Man's Chest was a big disappointment. I loved the first film and the special effects with the crew being dead made the SF believable but the Davey Jones character made the whole thing a joke. I have the 1st film on DVD, it is a very good film, but for me that is where it all ends. I did watch the third one to see if they had recaptured the magic of the first one but it was even more dire than the 2nd. Johnny Depp created one of cinemas great characters in Jack Sparrow and it is a shame that they didn't make sequels more along the lines of his humour with some good old swashbuckling thrown in.
