The Summer Blockbuster Winner

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2006)

The theater was packed when I went to see POTC: Dead Man's Chest. The movie lived up to the hype - it was entertainment overload. From the CGI, to the incredible believable acting, to the set designs and the constant backdrop of the ocean I loved every sensory feeling the movie evoked. The story intrigued to the point of wanting to go to Disneyland to ride the ride again. Even though some say the movie was long, the story never dragged. The introduction of new characters -- Davey Jones (fabulous), creepy voodoo witch/woman on the island, and the East Indies Sugar Co. guy Beckett was refreshing and did their parts perfectly. I love monster movies so when the Kraken was released to annihilate ships it was an awesome thing to see.
I've seen the other films slated for blockbuster this summer and this one is by far the best one I've seen. IMHO, it wins the contest.
Now the ending of the film -- left me speechless. The third installment of this trilogy better explain everything and make me want to buy it when it becomes available on DVD.
