Fun, long, not as fresh as the first...

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

I give this movie a B. I thought it was good, but seemed a bit too long. Too much reliance on CGI, and seemed down right slow at times. I think this was due to so much action that you get numb to it after a bit. Depp's performance was a bit over the top, but the rest of the cast, especially the two pirates that seemed to follow everyone around, made up for it.
It's a fun movie, and worth watching, but I'd have been happy waiting for it to come out on DVD.. My movie going experience may have been colored by the crowded theater, crying children, and endless commercials. Also the people who show up as the movie is starting, wandering the aisles looking for seats for their 12 person entourage.
I will purchase the DVD when it becomes available and watch this again, right after the Black Pearl.
