A Wild Adventure!

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2008)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was the surprise hit of 2006 in which I had never seen all of the first movie until i found out that the film broke Spider-Man's (2002) original box office record until a year later when the web-slinger would dominate the spot once again. I can see why people love "Pirates" in which Johnny Depp plays the bumbling pirate Jack Sparrow who has escaped death in the beginning of the movie while being searched by Will Turner played by Orlando Bloom. Will wants to find Jack in telling him that the soldiers from the first movie have kidnapped Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) and want to trade in a deal that if Jack gives himself up, Elizabeth could go free. More surprises come along the way with Jack wanting to find the heart of Davy Jones where William finds out that he has a father who is a slave to the monstrous beast. Meanwhile Elizabeth escapes her prison thanks with the help of her father where she searches for Will in the seas disguised as a pirate herself.
While the special effects is the standout of the film giving most dead pirates and creatures life, the reason why Pirates of the Caribbean 2 works is because of Johnny Depp's charisma in this movie. I'll get a chance to see the first film but this film will stand out as a reason for me to love Jack Sparrow and the adventures.
