Not A Pirates Fan But Still...

Rating: 5/10 (12 July 2006)

Okay, I wasn't looking forward to seeing this film. It was a combination of my hate for Orlando Bloom's acting, the hate I've had for years of the Pirates Of The Caribbean Ride at Disneyland, and how bad the first one was. This film is very slow and it didn't excite me too much. But don't take my word for it because for those of you who enjoyed the first one, this sequel is the kind of sequel that blows you away much further than the first one (a good example includes Batman Returns). The action scenes are pretty impressive, the tribal scene is a little exciting but at this time the film is still nothing special. The thing that brought this film up from a 2/10 to a 5/10 for me is the final 45 minutes, the action scenes are phenomenal leaving me with a feeling like 'Why couldn't the rest of the film be like this' So for those of you who enjoyed the first film, go see it, but for those of you who didn't but do like good action borrow it off a friend when the DVD's released and watch the final 45mins
