Fantastic!

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2006)

I thought this movie was excellent! It revived the wonderful characters of Captain Jack, Elizabeth, and Will, but brought more into the mix! Before you condemn this movie (I have already read the many comments posted about it below), you must see the first POTC to truly appreciate this one. Next, you must keep in mind that it is intended to go hand in hand with POTC 3. Finally, you should truly like the movie. If you simply thought the first one was OK or technically OK but the plot stunk or whatever, you will likely not appreciate this movie because you have no real attachment to it. There are many supposed classic movies that "everyone should see" that I detest because I personally cannot get into them. I am not putting this movie on the same level as those, but the same principal follows it. This movie contains a lot of action and drama and I think it will be nicely rounded out by POTC 3...that is part of the reason some of you whiners complain that it has no plot. On the contrary, it has a very clear plot, but the storyline cannot be completed until the third and final installment.
