Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest:The Doc's Review

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2006)

Pirates 2 is a good film that is easily enjoyable no matter what age group the audience consists of.A lot of humour and some gorgeous cinematography with some breath taking visuals.The voodoo woman was a very neat character she was spooky yet enticing and a really intriguing new character.Davy Jones was a pretty cool new character as well not and not only was the cgi masterful the fight scenes were just as fantastic.
I enjoyed the fact that everyone had a darker,more selfish side and personally that seems more believable of pirates than the "noone gets left behind" attitude in The Curse Of The Black Pearl.Everyone is as greedy as each other and soon enough they accomplish what they set out to get but then fight over who gets it.My only criticism for Pirates 2 is that the action is far too spaced apart and it at times flows at a slower pace than expected.Unfortunately no battle occurred in this film however there is a great little three way sword fight,and some cool monster fighting scenes in there as well.Pirates 2 is overall great fun and contains an ending that is as good as that of The Sixth Sense or Saw.
