Jack Davenport got his wish.

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2006)

This is a great fairy-tale of a movie. Even more slap-stick, far-fetched, & outrageous than the first. For these reasons, it is a great "I-need-a-break-from-my-daily-grind" movie. So, sure, the plot was a little underdeveloped & so they stuck that extra little bit about the natives in there at the beginning to make up for it, & so what if the cutting back & forth between the story lines was a little chaotic...I still loved it, even though it became rather difficult to understand the dialogue occasionally. I had heard the ending was a frustrating cliff-hanger, so I expected the credits to roll at any crucial moment towards the end of the hefty two & half hours; however, when it did come, it was by no means as maddening as the Two Towers, or an Alias episode finish. So, not to worry. Go see it, laugh all the way through at the flawed, over-confident Captain Jack, & most of all, enjoy all the little scenes from the ride. This film deserves your six bucks more than any others at the moment.
