A highly recommended good movie...

Rating: 8/10 (4 September 2006)

The first thing you need to do when you watch this movie is recap your knowledge of the first one... otherwise you will be a little confused.
I have read a lot of negative reviews about this movie, but I still watched it any way and I was pleasantly surprised.. I have also read that this movie was a little cliché, but I disagree.. the action towards the end is a cliffhanger! A MUST SEE.. It makes you want to watch the third installment.
The story also is decent, but the only reason I did not give this movie 10 on 10 is because of 2 flaws in the story.. Here they are: 1) Will turner goes hunting for capt Jack Sparrow to save Elizabeth Swann from prison, but 10 mins after he leaves, she is released very easily. So when she could be released so easily, why did will turner have to go hunting for jack sparrow??? 2) How did the Black Pearl suddenly get trapped on the island?? that one totally comes out of the blue!! And co-incidentally, will turner finds capt jack sparrow and the rest of the crew on that deserted island.. A little far fetched if you asked me.
But anyhow, if you are not that choosy about movies, I am sure that you will overlook these and the movie is well worth an eight on ten if not more. You can see that a lot of effort went into making this movie and make no mistake, I will be watching the third installment coming next year! Bottomline... this movie is quite good and one for the entire family. Easily the best movie of 2006 thus far.
