Slightly Disappointing...

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2006)

Okay, so the first one has to be hard to follow, but this was slightly ridiculous. Sure, it's your standard special-effects filled action packed hilarious film. Johnny Depp is amazing in it and Jack Davenport does a bang-up job, but until about 40 minutes from the end (of a 149 minute film!) the plot has little discernible continuity, and jumps from one storyline to another WAY too much to hold much concentration.
It definitely pulls together at the end, leaving hope for a promising 3rd film, only to be almost completely ruined by a completely god awful slow-motion shot of Jack Sparrow..
Certainly worth seeing, but don't get too excited. Look forward to the 3rd!
