Not better then the first, but still enjoyable.

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2007)

Now, this film was good. It lead to "At World's End" perfectly. But some problems make it compared to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom".
The reason I'm comparing these two films is because they were both alike. They were SO not better then the first, they were plot heavy, and they didn't use much of our favorite characters Indiana Jones and Captain Jack Sparrow.
I loved the first movie of Pirates. The story, characters, music, and the special effects really convinced me. In Dead Man's Chest, the visual effects were superior to it's successor, but it used so much of it and CGI that there's no room for Captain Jack! Like the first one, it is plot-heavy and unfortunately the story was "To Be Continued" when Jack was eaten, Beckett got the heart and Barbossa surprisingly returned.
Not a lot of heart, but still one of my favorite films.
