would have been nice without the first one

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2006)

This movie most likely would have received either an 8 or a 9 had the first movie not come out first, pirates of the Caribbean. This movie just did not have much more to offer than the first one. The amount of action was similar, if not actually less, than the first. No new special affects or cinematography were added to the mix. Basically this movie is a rip off of the first one, but instead of a chest full of cursed Aztec gold there is a chest that contains the heart of a cursed captain and his cursed seamen. Oooooh, we get to meet bootstrap bill turner!!!!La tee da. Some people really enjoyed the second film, I just don't see how you could if you really remember the first one or see it again just before watching the second. The only thing this movie was good for is setting you up for the third, and hopefully last, in the pirates series. The first was a great movie to watch, the second was a decent movie, but just not as fun to watch.
