Not worth the price of admission

Rating: 3/10 (8 July 2006)

Being a huge fan of the original, I am sad to say this movie was awful! I was shocked to see anyone would say "better than the original"! Being such a fan of the original I was really excited to see "Dead Man's chest". I went to the midnight viewing the first night it aired, and the entire movie I wished I was in bed. I almost left, but I didn't want to be disrespectful to the person who purchased my ticket. I went with a group of six, ages ranging from 15-40 and everyone i was with didn't like it. Why?
1. The jokes (to me) were not funny! They made the same jokes again and again. (pirates love rum-we get it)
2. Johnny Depp does not have the same charm as the original *no where near*
3. One of the only movies I have seen with too much happening. Too much excitement, and no time to breath. The movie starts bad and ends bad, with no break.
4. The storyline was far-fetched (even for a pirate flick) and was ridiculous.
The only bright spot was Mackenzie Crooks *my love, Gareth* role, as the pirate with one eye.
Clearly others disagree with me, so I say everyone see it, and make your own minds, but I did not enjoy this movie at all! I do have hope for the 3rd one though and am hoping for something better than than this!
