This film once again summed up films today

Rating: 5/10 (9 July 2006)

Before I start i'm 22 not someone looking back with rose tinted glasses.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the epitome of most high budget films today, way too reliant on the use of special effects with the storyline seemingly left on the sidelines.
This is not how it should be. Anyone can enjoy a film with a great storyline and no effects than vice versa, its human nature. So human nature therefore dictates that this film was a huge letdown.
The first film combined the two elements pretty well though not splendidly but this film was way too complicated to follow. Far too many subplots with some being totally unnecessary.
It really dragged on this film to a point where I just wanted to walk out. It really was that painful. OK there's some funny bits and cool scenes but no where near enough of them, plus the violence seemed a bit excessive at times.
A big letdown and nothing but a money raker if you ask me.
