just pretend there never was a sequel

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2007)

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is not good. It is a long movie and unfortunately its story-telling makes it seem longer. Every minute of this film seemed manufactured.
There's not much plot to even discuss. If anything, it seems to be a showcase of effects to justify the budget. So if you like seeing people rolling in things or on things, rather than actual story development, this might be the movie for you.
The jokes aren't very funny. Even the Jack Sparrow character's expressions and one liners are weak at best. And watching Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, who have absolutely no chemistry, is a bore. It doesn't make one want to see the sequel in the least.
