"The best sequel of all time, by far"

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2006)

I didn't find the film too long at all and it provided the ultimate cliffhanger at the end. I did expect Barbossa, but earlier in the film. The CGI was brilliant. I found it a lot more adventurous than the first instalment and it looked like the creators had taken a big gamble, but it paid off. Johnny Depp was one of the funniest people I have ever seen in a film and his entrance, like the first film, was fantastically done. Davy Jones looked really weird, but effective. I really can't wait for the third part of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' in January 2007 and I'll no doubt be waiting in anticipation. I hope the DVD has plenty of extra features and deleted scenes, although the film explained things really well.
