Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2006)

I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I had a great time with the previous Pirates and saw that movie a few times over the years without tiring of it.
But this movie had noting in common with the previous one. It had pirates, sea and beaches, but otherwise it had nothing of the well-balanced and fun storyline of the previous film. It was dark, grim and unsympathetic. Despite it being a Disney film, I wouldn't recommend it for kids. People die. A lot. In a variety of nasty scenarios. And as seems to be the trend with trilogies, it hardly had any plot at all. It felt like an uninspired filler between the beginning and the end of the Pirates-saga.
