Wasn't bad.

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2006)

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", the sequel to "Curse of the Black Pearl", is an entertaining if average action adventure film. The same swashbuckling style returns, as well as the filmmakers including Gore Verbinski (who directed this film back to back with the 3rd film coming out in 2007). And again, Johnny Depp is superb as Captain Jack Sparrow, and unfortunately again, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley return as his co-stars (like the first film, their presence is FAR overshadowed by Depp and their so-so performances can't compare to his). This film I guess had the feel of "I've been there before" from other action-adventure and other pirate movies. Not great but not bad either. Would recommend - 7 out of 10.
