Excellent special effects and great performances!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2006)

If you've seen part 1, The Curse of The Black Pearl, this is of course a must-see. And an impressive one in my opinion. I find Dead Man's Chest - in terms of humor - better than Part 1. I caught myself laughing out loud at some points, which I hardly do when I'm watching a movie. It's just fun to watch, really! Keira Knightley is again wonderful and a tad bit bold, which I like about her character. Fearless, almost. And I have to agree with some other comments: Hottie Orlando Bloom looks kind of stiff in his role. He totally gets away with it, because he's cute. Johnny Depp continues his class act, as expected.
And then.. Bill Nighy. That guy is great. I've seen him in numerous films and series: he' capable of a lot. He must be proud of his role as Davy Jones. The only part of Bill Nighy's body we get to see without some CG-work on it, are his eyes. I'm impressed by the special effects and choreography in this movie. When I saw the end titles and all the people who have been working on Davy Jones' face alone, i just thought: KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! It looks great. Big compliment to them! You just have got to go see it. Not because of the great story - because it's rather simple - but for what it is: a feast for the eyes!
