Not as good as 'Pirates 1', but a good sequel nonetheless.

Rating: 8/10 (10 July 2006)

I only saw this movie last night, and came home feeling proud of Disney. The film, although starting off slow, was a great thrill ride from beginning to end. Davy Jones and his crew looked extremely realistic, and the Kraken was pulled off believably. The movie was not as 'jolly' as 'Pirates 1', as it took a darker look at Piracy and most of the film was shot in dark places. The only two things that let the film down were the accents of Tia Dalma and Davy Jones, and at one point, Bootstrap Bill Turner. The only reason I understood the plot was because I had read it on the internet. The other thing was the quickness of the scene where Jack was eaten by the Kraken. It went way too fast! But enough of my ranting! Apart from the complaints above, this movie was a pleasure to watch, and leaves you hungry for more. Disney ended the film with a GREAT cliffhanger, very similar too the effect of 'Prince of Persia: Warrior Within' and 'Halo 2', and it leaves you wanting to see the movie again and again! Can't wait for 'At World's End'! It's gonna rock!
Captain Jack REALLY IS Back!
