Long bore with great effects.

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2006)

Overall I give this movie a 4. Although some of the acting and most of the special effects were incredible there were times I couldn't help but wonder what went wrong. The first Pirates of the Caribbean was a fun and remarkably joyous film, where this one is slow and plodding with multiple mistakes throughout. I keep trying to figure out why they would take a fun film and put in even more cheesy comedy that makes no impact on the poor story line. This movie will do great in theaters due only to the fact that the first one was so great. I see people bringing young children to see this movie, and per the first one that shouldn't be a problem. However, be warned, this is a darker and much more death filled film. Worth the price to see it once, and maybe rent later.
