Over All Pretty Good

Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2006)

I thought that this film could have been made better, but it isn't really that bad. I absolutely adored the first movie, and was somewhat disappointed with this one. Johnny Depp was superb in this, as usual. Davey Jones is disgustingly incredible. One thing that I think was the main reason I was displeased was because they didn't make the scenes blend nicely, they kind of jumped around a bit. A friend of mine phrased it nicely "By the end of the movie, I felt like I was on a very long ride that I wanted to get off of soon." I agree with that statement. Some of the scenes were those that were better suited for a video game than a live action film. They were very unrealistic. The costuming and make-up of the film, though, were some of the best I have seen in years. Davey Jones and his crew looked as though they have just spent the last 50 years on the bottom of the ocean, became mutated, and crawled back on land. Very nice. Captain Norrington was also spectacularly costumed. Johnny's make up was perfectly suited for his character. Over all, the film was pretty good.
