Sorry for the late warning!

Rating: 1/10 (28 July 2006)

This is so much worse than the first Pirates movie! I slept through a great deal of it and was sorry I didn't sleep longer. To me, the elements of a good movie are that it should keep your interest throughout, make you care about the characters, and leave you with a little different perspective on life. This movie lacked all three elements. Really good movies evoke a strong emotion (preferably a pleasant one), but do something other than bore you to tears. Pirates has many dark scenes with gross, gory, slimy, sickening effects, most done to redundancy, such as the character Davy Jones' beard made of octopus tentacles. In one scene, Johnny Depp has blue eyes painted on his eyelids so that when he closes his eyes, it looks like he is looking at you with these very blue eyes. During that scene, he closes his eyes A LOT, in case you happened to miss the cleverness of it all. All the movie had to say was "Oh, look at my clever special effects". That's it. A gigantic waste of a whole lot of people's time and way too much money. If there is anyone, anywhere who has not already seen this movie...DON'T BOTHER!
