I'm disappointed and depressed

Rating: 4/10 (7 July 2006)

I had such high hopes for this film - I played hooky from work during my lunch hour (or three!). The action scenes go on far too long, the movie is way too long, and neither the script nor the action sequences are anywhere near the swashbuckling fun of the first film. It appears the writer and the director get lost between story lines, and they're unable to create a cohesive plot, as well as any symbiosis between the characters. "Dead Man's Chest" was sadly predictable, plodding and quite un pirate like. There are very few parts that amuse and surprise, unfortunately. Please, return to the "formula" of the first picture, and don't torture us with another Dead Man's Chest for the third. Deeply, deeply, deeply disappointed - deep in the heart of Texas.
