Very Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 2006)

I saw the first Pirates movie, and liked it very much. In fact, I own it. This one was terrible! The movie just drags and drags. They take scenes that don't advance the plot and then make them just long enough that they are painful. The comic relief is decent, and the lead acting is good, but overall, the film left me very disappointed. The CGI is very well done for the most part, but the plot is just too boring and predictable to be considered interesting. This film didn't feel quite as exciting as the first film. While I understand that it is a Disney production, this film felt a bit more simple and childish than the first. Perhaps I was a victim of the marketing machine that built the hype up beyond being able to live up, but I just found it very underwhelming.
