Movie's plot was lacking

Rating: 7/10 (23 July 2006)

I love the original Pirates of the Caribbean, and felt that the movie was well written. The original had just the right amount of love, action, and comedy. The sequel however was lacking, all of these qualities and seemed to leave you hanging. All the trilogies that are great still have an ending, even though you know there is more. This movie's ending and overall flow was distasteful. The special effects were great, the new nemesis was interesting, yet the movie seems to stumble through. I hope the third movie makes up for the short comings of the second. I also hope that Captian Jack Sparrow is more like he was in the original. Despite all that it lacked the movie is still making plenty of money in the box office, which unfortunately tells movie companies all they have to do is throw a bunch of money in advertising and hype and you will make a ton of money.
