not as good as the first, but definitely action-packed

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2006)

while i have never seen a sequel created after an original film has already been released that compares to the first, this film does do the name pirates of the Caribbean justice.
while the second film in the pirates trilogy lacked the soul and moral standards of the first, the acting was superb, the stunts were electrifying and the special effects were incredible.
the film had more of a mystical/supernatural plot and characters than the first, but had enough swashbuckling action and daring getaways to make any true action lover happy.
all in all, it was worth seeing-- more so than most of the movies this summer.
