Well done!

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2006)

"Dead Man's Chest" is really better than "The Curse of the Black Pearl". As to stunts, most of all I like two moments: 1. On the island with natives, when Jack, tied to the bamboo, tries to escape: he runs, jumps, turns over, lands and falls down  it's interesting to know, how this stunt was done; and Jack's crew in the cage tries to escape. It was very funny!!! I had a good laugh over it! 2. When Jack, Will and Norington are fighting on the wheel to have a key. It was really exiting and funny too. In general, my favorite moment is when Elizabeth kisses Jack. Here Jack looks very natural. Keira Knightley plays very well. In "DMC" her heroine has definitely grown up and her role is more difficult than in "CBP", but Keira Knightley plays excellent! Orlando Bloom (Will) like in "CBP" is in "DMC" an honest, noble, handsome prince, whose tended hands do not look like a blacksmith's (even a former blacksmith's) ones. Admittedly, I don't like the monsters. They are vile, but not awful, terrible creatures, who devour human's souls. The idea was interesting, but I don't like the result. Jack, thanks to Johnny Depp's brilliant playing, is indisputably charming. He is smart, witty, kind Who can be indifferent to him?! But he is as usual reserved. He is convivial, but through his deep and sad glance we see an interesting and complicated nature, mystery of his soul, which is left unsolved Is he happy? and will he be happy if he got that invaluable freedom he always wanted? and is freedom a thing he did really want?... What about the plot, special effects: I only hope that the 3rd part will be as interesting, funny and exiting as the second one. Thank you. Tess.
