POTC 2 - The Search For More Money

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2006)

Wow. Where to start? Walking out of the theater, I began hearing the inevitable.
I heard the same crap when I walked out of Matrix 2.
"Well, it WAS entertaining..." I know people are going to defend this movie by saying that it is leading into the third installment. I know they are going to defend it by saying that it was still entertaining.
But what does "still entertaining" mean? It means you just watched crap. People sometimes have a hard time letting go. It's okay to say this movie was mediocre at best (which is me being very, very nice). It's okay to wonder why they decided to trade in a semblance of a plot and instead fill two and a half hours plus (!!!) with rum jokes.
My girlfriend asked me what my favorite part was as we were leaving. To quote the ageless movie-review joke, I told her it was when the movie finally ended.
I'm not a hater either, so I don't want to catch any grief from any of you. The first POTC is a great movie. I was laughing and in suspense and enjoying great action sequences.
Just don't expect much from this motion picture.
Remember, it's okay to admit that it just wasn't a good movie.
