Two-thirds into the film and I was bored

Rating: 4/10 (15 July 2006)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's chest is a movie that I was very keen on seeing. I liked the first film. I own the DVD. And, yet about two-thirds through this film I found myself yawning. I was actually bored. In the first film, Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) came across as inept but clever. In this film, Sparrow's destiny seemed pre-ordained. Perhaps I didn't understand the plot. Considering how convoluted the plot was with its many characters and many goals perhaps I was baffled into boredom. I don't know. But I was yawning.
On the plus side, I left the movie still amused by Sparrow. And, the adventure and the special effect both were spectacular.
I also recommend sitting through the entire credits to see one last scene. It's funny and ties up one loose plot thread.
