I don't care what people say.

Rating: 10/10 (29 October 2006)

Having read some of the reviews for the film it is obvious that a lot of people have a real problem with this being a sequel with a fairly bizarre and sometimes outrageous plot.
This perplexes me as I would have thought that those people would not have bought tickets for a film based on a Disney ride that has undead and sometimes be-tentacled pirates and the main character based on Keith Richards.
They of course are allowed to waste their money as they see fit but I for one enjoyed every minute of the film and was sorry when it ended. I know that some people have likened it to the empire strikes back or LOTR the two towers, I think that thats is exactly right. I think that sequels are often the best in a line of films as you already know the characters and can get into the film that little bit easier.
In terms of characters I loved Davey Jones especially because Bill Nighy was playing him. I found it all the better because even though he was mostly computer generated you could still tell that it was Bill by the way that his face moved and his eyes. The CGI was fantastic throughout the entire movie but I found that for me that the "over use" of CGI does not detract from my movie experience ever. In fact the more CGI that is in a film the more I love it. If I want to see GREAT acting with real people I go to the Theater not the box office release at the cinema.
In terms of plot I did not find it confusing though you did have to do a bit of sideways thinking to discover peoples motives sometimes. Most of them were straightforward. It was quite obvious that Jack had done something to highly annoy Davey Jones at some point in the past and that was why he wanted his soul. The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer was awesome too, I thought that it was exactly what the movie needed for a quite dark sequel. Also the re-introduction of Barbossa at the end was brilliant he was one of my favourite characters from the first film.
So all in all I loved the film, it was exactly my kind of film; good guys, bad guys (with tentacles) and pirates. What more can a person ask for? 10/10
