Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006, Dir. Gore Verbinski)
After preventing the capture of a certain Jack Sparrow, both Elizabeth Swan and her fiancée Will Turner are arrested and sentenced to death. But Cutler Beckett has other plans, and sends Turner out to retrieve Jack's compass. This isn't easy for Turner, as he must now help Sparrow track down the Dead Man's Chest, which contains the beating heart of Davy Jones. Stabbing the heart, would not just destroy Jones but also set free Turner's father, Bootstrap Bill. The mission becomes even more difficult for everyone when Elizabeth escapes and tracks down Sparrow.
The first Pirates movie was an enjoyable film. The sequel is not as successful in terms of storytelling, but it is still both amazing and fun to watch. All the characters are back with the wonderful characteristics which made them legendary in the first movie. One of the additions to the trilogy is Davy Jones, played by Bill Nighy. This is once character which really needs to be looked at, when looking at how visual effects have improved. The character is just amazing in every way and looks so realistic. It could easily look like prophetic make up. The rest of the action and special effects are impressive with some cool looking sword fights happening. 'Dead Man's Chest' further helped the trilogy be cemented as one of the greatest trilogies of our time.
