Good, but not "avast" lot of Character Development

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 2006)

OK, first of all allow me to excuse myself for the terrible pun in the title. I just felt like it.
Now on to "POTC 2". Well i thought it was good. That's it. Good but not great, and definitely not deserving of it's record box office haul. But if people like it, then who am I to say otherwise.
How could Gore Verbinsi treat us to so much in the first instalment "Curse Of The Black Pearl" and then give us so little in plot and character development in Dead Mans Chest. I'll say no more of that, i feel i've already said enough The saving grace of this movie is the Special Visual Effects. WOW!!! they get a 10/10 rating all on their own. ILM has done a fantastic job. You wouldn't believe that Davy Jones and his crew of Sea Phantom's were all Digital. Simply Superb.
So a massive round of applause and cheers to John Knoll and all the crew at Industrial Light and Magic, But jeers overall to this not so great sequel to a bonafied classic. It's good all round entertainment, But never will it bear the title of being a "hollywood classic".
Still bring on POTC 3. Maybe that'll be better... I can only hope.
