Dead Man's Chest

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

I went to this movie expecting less than nothing. The reviews I read were really bad but I have 4 nephews who would not be deterred so off we went. I was expecting to be bored to tears, instead I was blown away! The special effects on Davey Jones and the sea phantoms was out of this world. It was worth twice what I paid. I kept muttering under my breath, "that is so cool" every time they were on the screen and I noticed something new. Just really excellent work all around.
The cinematography was also really quite wonderful and I loved the visual references to the Disney ride which was lacking in the first film.
Oscar worthy at the very least!
