As soon as the action starts.

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2006)

I have to say it started off a little slow. It also felt like they were really pulling for laughs in the beginning which was very unlike the first movie. Anything Jack did you found funny. However, as soon as the action started, not only did the movie pick up, but the comedy as well. I got lost in it.
It was much darker and dealt with deeper issues, some characters do some unexpected things and have pretty deep conversations. There are many old faces from the first movie and a lot of new ones with Davey Jones and his crew as well as a new addition to the protagonist side, Tia Dalma.
The ending I thought was fantastic even though I know it confused a lot of people. It was very abrupt, I heard a lot of people commenting on that as they left the theatre but overall I quite enjoyed it. I really think their goal is to get you back in theatre next year for the 3rd movie and it worked on me!
While not as good as the first movie, it holds up as a sequel.
