The critics get it wrong again

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2006)

I went into this film after reading mixed reviews from the so called expert critics and let me tell you, most of them are wrong. This film is a lot of fun and very exciting throughout. Yes it does follow the star wars format for trilogy's as the x-men series did and this is dark like the empire strikes back. There are a few minor down points like the cgi isn't always up to scratch and some characters don't get enough screen time, but for me this film is all about great action set pieces and watching Johnny Depp do his thing as Captain Jack Sparrow. Orlando Bloom does a much better job as Will Turner this time around, i felt he was one of weak links in the first film, i cringed as he delivered his line "goodbye" after finishing off a pirate. After watching a very satisfying film such as Dead Mans Chest the only bad feeling is knowing i have to wait until next year for the third instalment.
