Dead Mans Chest, Overall Good

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2006)

This is was my most anticipated movie of the year. It starts off a little slow but it's setting up the plot basically but when they get to the cannibal island thats where the fun picks up. The CG is amazing especially on Davy Jones and his crew, the first emergence of them and the Flying Dutchman is great. My favorite character of the film wasn't Jack Sparrow but Tia Dalma, she was great and lot of fun to watch. I came away a little disappointed with the film overall but I do love the surprise ending. At times I got into it and at times it felt really long. The scene after the credits is cute so stay all the way through the credits. The film basically sets up the third one (May 25, 2007) which after how this one ends and from the plot outline I read for "At Worlds End" it sounds bigger and better than "Dead Man's Chest" so I'm really looking forward to it. I heard Tia Dalma is in it more, I really hope she is. Early reports are that this made from $50-58 million on Friday, I hope these reports are true, even though I didn't like it as much as the first it deserves to set all the weekend records and be biggest movie of the year. My Grade - B+. But check it out and decide for yourselves.
