What a Stinker!

Rating: 3/10 (16 July 2006)

Where did the magic go? From the very get-go, the movie set a tone that was darker and less inspired than its predecessor. The acting looked forced, while quips and quotes from the original were blatantly milked in an attempt to bridge the first two movies.
Davey Jones at the keyboards was ripped off from "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"; Capt. Jack Sparrow emerging from a coffin tossed into the ocean was reminiscent of a scene from "The Man In the Iron Mask"; the native islanders (cannibals) blending into the scenery (can't see them until they open their eyes) was lifted from the first Predator movie.
The movie's only saving grace was the re-introduction of Capt. Barbossa at the very end.
My advice: Wait for the DVD to come out.
