Funny and fast moving

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2006)

This is a good sequel, with a lot of action, but sometimes it is so fast that it is hard to keep track of what is happening. Some characters' makeup is gross, and sometimes there is enough blood or bones in a scene to be gross. There are funny scenes, and a lot of bits that recall the ride or other movies. Jack Sparrow seems less crazy, and even melancholy at times, but with the enemies he has this time, that is understandable. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are more into being people of action. Other familiar characters re-appear, especially the silly duo of pirates, and a surprise.
This is a very enjoyable movie, but you may have to think for a while, after it, to sort out what happened.
