One hour too long

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2006)

I liked Johnny Depp in the first film, and the first film was not that bad. So now for this sequel. The special effects were good, the sets and costumes were good. But there is a limit to how many special effects, sword fights and chase scenes that mean absolutely nothing that I can sit through. If they had cut away one hour of meaningless effects and never ending action sequences the movie would have been watchable. Johnny Depp was really in character but even his character was too busy running around to showcase his personality. Finally, this movie is not a movie, it is a part 1 of 2 series that just stops in the middle of nowhere. There is no ending, just a "see you in two years when you have to pay another 10 bucks to see the ending". All in all, the producers seem to think that as long as there is a lot of action, a story or any presence of drama is not required. Awful film.
