Gah, Reloaded With Pirates!

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2006)

Rating: 12A Main Cast: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy Director: Gore Verbinski
The good: massive epic scale, brilliant set pieces and action sequences, Bill Nighy is amazing.
The bad: Orlando Bloom, not as funny as previous film, bit confusing, tries to cram in too much.
Quick Summary: This is no Toy Story sequel, this is a Matrix sequel. This film lacks the originality and humour of the first, and Johnny Depp seems to have been forced to be annoying at every possible point. In the first he was funny, now the writers have written him like he performed and he now just gets annoying! The effects are decent though look a bit cartonney, Orlando Bloom cant act and Keira Knightley is probably just there to look pretty. However there's no denying the epic scale of this film, plus Bill Nighy is very good although I miss Barbossa.
