Weight of expectation is a terrible thing.Overlong and boring.

Rating: 4/10 (5 May 2008)

This was clearly a film for a films sake.I sat myself down to watch it eager for a great time but 15 minutes in i found myself checking the counter on the DVD player to see how much time was left.To my credit i saw it though but i refuse to put myself through the third film as i imagine it'll be more of the same.Where was the direction?Gore Verbinksi gave us a perfect treat with the first film but he just churns this one out.Depp is obviously superb but the rest of the cast struggle to make any kind of meaningful impact.This film represents everything i dislike about Hollywood,a film makes money so they just throw together a weak story, add a load of digital effects and try and pass it off as art.In this case art is fart.
