Spectacle indeed!

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2006)

This Sequel to last years successful Disney sea adventure The Black Pearl, has more spectacle than the first causing a muddle of a storyline. What was going on again? The stunts were spectacular. Johnny Depp's expressions were given heavy weight in close ups and his comic antics seemed overused and forced. The sea pirates are lost in their spectacular tentacle attire. It's full of these effects and cheap gimmicks and some amazing effects.
The sets and locations are well shot and some of the props were fun to view. The cast seemed well adjusted and a novel warm feel of returning with the audience. How do you kill a dead person again?
It is all flat somehow. A colorful sea yawning adventure.
