Saddly, a waste of time and money

Rating: 3/10 (14 August 2006)

The Black Pearl was delightful in its introduction of Capt. Jack Sparrow, one of the most original and entertaining comedic characters I'd met in a long time. Capt. Jack carried the Black Pearl easily. It was a frivolous but very, very pleasant ride.
Special effects carries Dead Man's Chest--but not nearly far enough. Many of scenes, in fact, did remind me much more of Disney kiddy rides than movie magic. There was no interesting story line, no new interesting charactersa, no further development of the characters we'd met before.
It was boring and contrived, but Disney got my money and I suspect that is all this film was intended to accomplish.
