Critics be d@mned

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2006)

I have no idea what bias drove many critics to pan this film, but don't pay them any attention. If anything, they made the film's experience BETTER for me by causing me to anticipate a dud. The sequel to Black Pearl did not disappoint AT ALL. I loved it...as did my husband. The only negative comment I can muster is towards a particular line in the film, which I felt a bit cheesy (SLIGHT SPOILER ahead): "Why is the rum always gone?". Other than that, references to the previous film were amusing and all the actors delivered stellar performances. I'm so glad that Johnny loves this character as much as his audience, and is willing to do more films. Disney really has a winner in the Pirates series, and they did nothing but seal the deal for our purchasing the DVD and eagerly anticipating the next sequel. As I said in my subject line...critics, take a note: you don't speak for the population. And if you're still not convinced...take a look at the box office.
