Too long, total lack of suspense and fun, fantastic CGI

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2006)

Best thing first: No one will ever have to make again a scene in a movie where a monstrous Kraken attacks a ship. This is as good and spectacular as it gets! Well done, ILM!
Unfortunately this ain't enough to save Captain Jack and his sequel. Jonny Depp is funny as ever, but the whole story does not work, in no part. Keira Knightley is breathtakingly beautiful, but her role makes no sense, compared to her performance in the first movie. So are all the other characters: Nothing fits together, nothing makes sense. So it's a loud and long movie with an ending that makes you wonder: Do I really care about what happens next? Well, maybe, maybe not... This is not what a cliffhanger should be like.
Sad, that most IMDb-users seem to lack the courage to admit that this is a bad movie, just because they want it to be good (very same thing with Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith).
