superb film

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2006)

well they pulled it off again....pirates 2, dead mans chest is excellent.... the scenes on cannibal island were hilarious, only Johnny Depp could make the act of simply running into a 'burst out laughing' moment...
there is also very funny scenes with the crew and a giant round cage.. it was great to see other familiar faces, even that darned monkey! the crew of the flying Dutchman were horrific, worse than the skeleton crew of the black pearl... they were like something alien artist geiger would have dreamed up. so i wouldn't say ALL children will like certain parts..
i thought all the acting was good...johnny Dept outstanding again...this role was surely made for him.. or he made it his own.... but the power seems to have shifted in favour of Elizabeth... when oh my god he is betrayed by a kiss....
there were a couple of things i'm not sure about... like how come the monkey stayed immortal, when the others didn't... and when will turner walks out of the sea after having to swim to shore to locate jack, he is almost dry.. but still does not stop me from awarding 10/10.
i should also add that dead mans chest is not a stand alone film like the curse of the black pearl... we are left at rather a cliffhanger moment, and will have to wait until April 2007 to see what happens next...
some people have been critical of the surprise ending, but i'm sure more explanations will come, and we will understand all in the end... this is the best movie of the year...
