As promised...

Rating: 5/10 (21 December 2016)

the sequel delivers all that was sort of promised by the first movie. It's as overly long as the first one, shows the same characters without any kind of development, tons of undead fishy seamen, swashbuckling and endless dialogues and oh so funny comments.
The background story starts promising but ends in an endless game of "I have the heart, no I have it...". When the protagonists start fencing while balancing on a gigantic mill wheel rolling down the hillside I knew this was going down the drain.
The movie perfectly delivers the intended Disney theme park attitude and I guess you have to be in the mood and mindset of a 13 year old to fully enjoy it. That also explains why again this movie lacked real thrills or terror moments again, if undead seamen monsters are like this, I wonder what I was afraid of as a child. They looked ugly but not terrifying. They acted and talked as stupid as Laurel Hardy.
Costumes, sets, sfx were excellent, though. The music was too much on many scenes, rubbing it in. So, if being repetitive and without any innovation is considered a solid good delivery of entertainment, this movie is a 10er. Because of all that I rate it as a 5.
