Don't listen to the critics.

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2006)

The critics trashed this movie. There's no way around it.
But maybe they were just disappointed, I don't know. This movie was good. It really was. Don't expect it to be as good as the first one, sequels usually aren't. But don't get scared off by these awful reviews. It's more violent, and it does feel longer than the other one did, but hey, it's all a part of the story development.
Some of the good things about the movie are: -awesome special effects -more great music -Orlando Bloom gives one of the best performances of his career. After Elizabethtown, I didn't think I could ever watch him again, but he did an amazing job in this movie. and -it's still another Pirates movie. Johnny Depp is still absolutely amazing, and the humor is still there.
If you liked the first one, you should like this one too, so long as you don't expect it to be the only movie you ever need to watch. So go! You know you want to find out what happens next, don't let the critics' high expectations stop you. :)
