Good...but far too long!

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2006)

As a fan of the first movie I was eager to see this one and as it was released on the day of my birthday I was determined to be off work and see the first showing possible - which I did. I sat anxiously waiting for it to begin and as soon as the trailers were finished and it started I was acting like a seven year old kid who had just been given a brand new bike. It started well and had a good grip on it from the beginning, but thirty minutes or so into it I just wanted it to be over. Yes, Depp was excellent, Knightly was entertaining and Bloom wasn't half bad (I'm not a fan of the Bloomster) and Bill Nighy was brilliant as always and made Davy Jones seem like a real bad guy who you hated so he did his job well. But the problem I had was with the length of it, it just seemed to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and just didn't seem to know when to stop. However, when it did stop it left me dying for more so roll on the next instalment, I just hope that they don't make it an epic at 3 hours+ and leave out some of the rubbish filler that made this one just that little bit disappointing. Go see it and enjoy it just make sure you take some munchies and maybe a cushion for your rear!
