A worthy follow up

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2015)

The second movie took most of the favourite characters we all know and thrusted them into a new adventure, that lasted two films, whilst continuing the Will and Elizabeth plot. It didn't live up to the first film, mainly because the first was so unexpectedly good. However, this is still a fun and great film. There is a distinctive gap, for me at least, between the first three and the last movie. It suffered, too, by not following a basic film structure, which kind of has end randomly and without a full feeling. There are plenty of laughs, however, along with great action, satisfactory acting and some cool new characters, the pick of the bunch being Davy squid face Jones. The back-story of the Pearl is interesting and scenes that you'd expect to be boring justaren't, as is the case with most of the parts from the Gore Verbinski's trilogy. Overall the movie manages to stay very clear of the red zone by being light on its feet and filling in its content. A worthy entry and a fitting middle section acting as a bridge to The Curse of the Black Pearl and to At World's End.
