Very disappointed, but a worthy see-once-movie

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2006)

I was really disappointed by The Dead Mans Chest. The first movie was excellent and had really smart jokes. In the second all the jokes are falling down stairs, falling down into a grave, falling here and falling there. There are some funny bits though in the movie that give you a good laugh.
When the men of Davy Jones roam around in the forest it reminded me more of Power Rangers than Pirates of the Caribbean. The movie relied too much on the special effects and didn't look like it cared too much if it looked good or not. A little same like Superman Returns (2006).
The plot is interesting though, but the way it was made didn't make any sense. Appears that some people from the first movie didn't die although they ought have.
My biggest disappointment was the end, that the movie didn't have a clear ending. You have to see the third movie to finish the second. It would have been better that either this was a clear continuation of the first film, or that they would all three independent. But this is only my opinion.
Still, the Dead Mans Chest is a worthy movie to go and see.
