Enjoyable

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2006)

I really didn't like the first part of this trilogy primarily for the reason that it portrayed most Pirates as ugly filthy dirty stinking drunks, realistic or true to history or not, and allocated the necessary style to only a few characters. So with an open mind, I saw this movie and I am quite happy to say that I was not disappointed at all. Plausibility needs to be thrown out of the window and this movie becomes sheer arrogant fun. The first one third of this movie is no doubt the best and its most unfortunate that the following parts were'nt as good, but were still good nevertheless. The Kracken CGI could have also been a bit improved upon. But with great characters, great locations and great action, this movie is something you can force yourself to see even if you don't want to.
