The best of the trilogy

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2009)

This second film in the Pirates trilogy is my personal favorite. Depp is at his looniest, and there's plenty of humor. The film is also very long as many more characters are introduced. The best is Bill Nighy, playing a menacing but jokey Davy Jones. His appearance has to be seen to be believed. Indeed, the Special Effects in this film are a significant improvement over the first film. There's also some crackling chemistry between Keira Knightley and Depp. The film takes its time setting everything up for the superb final hour which includes a sword fight on top of a ferris wheel and humor reminiscent of the three stooges. To top it all, there's also a giant Kraken, though the kraken's attacks carry on too long.
Overall 8/10
