Was there a need, for the sequel?

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2006)

The first one was good because it was original to some degree, The second one however lacks so much, being two and a half hours long. I first walked into the cinema thinking that it would give me some entertainment though i was dead wrong. Walking into the picture i felt fine though after about the first half of the movie and being so unattached from it i started to get a headache from the pointless action.
The visual effects are quite good though the main problem with the movie is that there is no storyline or developing of the characters relationships what so ever.
Johnny Depp portrays a fantastic performance as jack sparrow, though all of his sayings were just conveyed over from the original movie and slightly changed making them very dull.
Spoiler warning , ...
It seems that some one just wanted to add a mystical undersea Kraken beast into the gist of the story. They also could not think of a better way of keeping the audience slightly intrigued so they put it in half way through the movie, not allowing for a climax trying to drag it on for 2 and a half hours which is just stupid. In the end though u find that the characters have no relationships with each other and have not developed what so ever and they also continue the stupid joke about burning rum which was finished in the first movie, yet they repeated it numerous amounts of times.
The finale of Jack Sparrow getting eaten by the Kraken is just pointless and didn't need to occur. The movie also has aspects that come out of no where and do not happen again through out the story. At the beginning the movie can be seen as being more gruesome with crows picking out the eyes of prisoners though this is not continued and yet again pointless because it would increase the parental rating. An aspect to why the first one is so much better is that it allowed the audience to see the characters develop. Though this one lacked it immensely and the ending of wanting to continue the story made you think why?, its just so pointless.
The movie lacks so much that the fist one did, mainly due to it giving me a headache due to the pointless action and unattached i give it a 5, i would have given it less but Johnny Depp's performance saved it and is probably why people would still like it so much.Though due to no character development what so ever and pointless action it made it a bad sequel not dealing with matters that would have allowed it to soar.
