Pirates take 2

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2006)

Pirates begins well as seems more dark then the previous film however the first half hour seems to consist of the funny likable parts from the first film. for example there are remarks about the rum being gone, hilarious the first time but should probably have not been repeated as it seems to take away the uniqueness of the film. Also it seems to have taken a star wars theme of the meeting between Will and his father. This is an unforgivable offence that should not happen in films! Especially in this film as it will become a classic. Anyone with half a brain could see that they would bring back his father, possibly not in quite the way they did but never the less, so they should have tried to create a more imaginative character. Everything He does is too predictable and obvious although you may not think so at the time after you have seen the film you can tell that it has certain links to other films. One of them being star wars as I have said; evil father attempts to save his son by giving up his own life. But other then these small flaws and they are only small in comparison, the film is excellent and although I may not go as far as to say it is as good as the first one it definitely rivals all the films released recently at the cinema. It is definitely one to watch.
