Not as good as the first, but okay.

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

This movie didn't quite live up to the hype left from the first movie. The make up, set, costumes, and effects did live up to expectations. I was a little disappointed by Depp and Knightley's performances, the acting lacked the passion and intensity that existed in the first movie. The new characters did add to the movie and provide unique twists. The action scenes were almost as good as the first. The scenery was actually better than the first movie. The make up job of the eyes (you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it) was really cool. It is worth seeing, and I will see the third was as well, I'll just try to maintain a more realistic expectation.
