Unmissable!

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2006)

I loved the origonal Pirates of the Caribbean, it was brilliant and i watched it over and over again. I then waited 2/3 years for the second one. When it finally came out i went to see it as soon as i could and i can honestly sat that it truly lived up to the hype..... and then some.
The plot is sort of confusing, i got mixed up with who wanted the treasure for different reasons, but that might be because i went to the toilet half way through.
So Jack is now captain of the Black Pearl and he does all these mental quests in between the first and second film that don't really bring back any proper treasure. But they do in fact add up to finding Davey Jones' heart, which Jack needs because he promised Davey Jones his soul but Jack doesn't want to pay up. Meanwhile, Elizabeth ( who looks absolutely stunning in the film) and Will are supposed to be getting married but they get arrested by this guy because they helped Jack escape. So Will has a deal with this guy and agrees to get Davey Jones' heart for him so he can control the sea and so Will and Elizabeth can be free.
The plot is as i said, very complicated, but very absorbing. The film also delves right into it so that we don't have to sit through 15-20 minutes of explanation about the first film. The character development is brilliant and we some interesting changes in some characters. Johnny Depp is absolutely amazing as Jack, he keeps you on the edge of the seat with the amazing action and makes you laugh until your sides hurt. Kiera Knightley is fantastic as Elizabeth and shows how ruthless she can be. Orlando is brilliant as Will and gives a great performance.
If you liked the first film then you will really really enjoy this one. The 2 and 1/2 hours seems to fly by and the film leaves you on a huge cliffhanger and makes you feel really bad that you are going to have to wait a year to see the next one. This one is probably my second favourite of all the summer blockbusters and is one that you really cannot miss.
