Worth Seeing over and over Again!

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2006)

It's difficult to comment on a movie that I waited three years for. I braved the lines on opening day to see a late night showing (almost killed me!). There were people dressed in pirate garb standing in line. I had watched the first one a few hours before to prepare myself. But one question kept nagging in the back of my mind: would it live up to expectations? I expect you want to know the answer, too, or else you wouldn't be reading the reviews. So, did it? No. It didn't live up to expectations. It surpassed them. The special effects have improved, the characters have improved, the action had improved. This movie left me with the same feeling as THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. In other words, I will find myself in line on May 25, 2007 for AT WORLD'S END. I'll be among the thousands clamoring to find out what happens to Jack in Davy Jones' Locker, and what the owner of that certain pair of boots will do next. Savvy?
