Great movie- character and character dynamics the best...

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

You know I was a bit wary about hearing of the sequel of this movie as sequels usually suck. But this one sure as heck didn't! The opening scenes were excellent, really well shot. All the actors and actresses did a splendid job, the plot was well developed. Some very intriguing twists involving the dynamics between Will, Elizabeth and Jack- which I believe, were hinted at in PotC 1. All characters had some useful part to play, each slotting in nicely.
The villains were quite good too. Lord Beckett and Davy Jones as the new bad guys in their different styles of 'badness'. I can also agree with an earlier reviewer that PotC 2 IS comparable to 'The Empire Strikes Back'. In fact there are quite a few similarities between PoTc 1 and 'A New Hope' and PotC 2 and 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Perhaps this can give one hints to how PotC 3 may play out.
