bored!

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2006)

The film got to two hours in and I was wondering if it was ever going to finish, especially as by that point I couldn't see it wrapping up anytime soon. Turns out it had no intention of doing so as the ending makes it necessary to see the third instalment as we have bee left with half a story.
An hour could easily have been cut out of this film without losing anything of value.
It was a good enough yarn but not a patch on the third.
The best thing about this film is Johnny Depp, the best thing by a country mile.
Keira Knightly is well...I suppose the best word is irritating. She gets cast as the same kind of character in almost every film she's done and mostly the same emotion is in play throughout - "I want to save my man/football career/own ass if it's the last thing I do".
All in all it's a good enough film but a lot of boring stuff in between the good action.
Hope the third one is an improvement.
