Not as good as expected

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2006)

I thought the movie was alright but not as good as I expected. I loved the first one and this didn't quite live up to its high standards, as with most sequels. I found that it dragged on too much and the ending was also a bit of a let down. I understand that they wanted to leave people in suspense and looking forward to the third one but i think they could have done it differently. The ending left me feeling disappointed and incomplete.
However, apart from these small things I thought it was still pretty good. It had the same good humor that fans one the first one loved and of course everyone's favorite character, Captain Jack sparrow remained his hilariously charming self. I'm not a great fan of Will though as I find him too heroic and trusting. No one is perfect. I also thought the bringing back of some of the previous characters from the first movie was a bit unnecessary as they sometimes seem out of place and to be grasping a bit to have it similar to the first.
