A minority report

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2006)

Well, it must be my fault. Unlike the majority of Users, I hated, disliked, was annoyed and bored by, and generally loathed this movie. After thoroughly enjoying its predecessor, I expected to be enchanted with Deadman's Chest. My criticisms: not nearly enough of Depp. Keira Knightley's radiant beauty hidden in men's clothing, with little for her to do. A plot that had no coherence or suspense. The whole film jumped from one special effect after another, with no attempt to have the characters relate to one another. Granted, these special effects were spectacular, but what purpose did they serve beyond themselves? If I were ten years old, I would appreciate them more and expect little else. I only hope the third film will be an improvement and have lots more of Depp and Davey Jones. (Loved those tentacles!!)
Quietly insane thought: what if Davey Jones fell in love with Elizabeth Swann because she looked just like his lost love? The Davey Jones subplot has never been resolved. Just what did happen to have him put his heart in the chest?
