Very enjoyable but

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2006)

A little drawn out.
I thought the first half of the film was very good, second a little long winded, which is a shame. I thought some of the jokes were excellent, some of the jokes played by characters in the first film were repeated in the second by different characters.
Johnny Depp was superb and I love the way he runs, very funny. Unlike the first film more time is spent on the other characters like Orlando Bloom, which is a shame as his acting isn't as sharp as Mr. Depp's.
One other thing was the special effects in the first film were fantastic, the second were also as good right up to the Cracken, the CGI stood out very badly from the live action film.
The above are minor complaints on an excellent film that's why I rate it 8 out of 10, but lets hope the third installment picks up the pace a little more.
