Another disappointing sequel

Rating: 3/10 (17 July 2006)

It's a shame that yet another great movie (Curse of the Black Pearl) is used as the basis of such mediocre cinema. Painfully lacking in key elements, such as visible acting skills and a strong plot, Dead Man's Chest is a very ordinary follow-up to a great movie.
Certainly audiences flocking to see the comical swagger of Johnny Depp and the handsome face of Orlando Bloom won't leave disappointed, despite Orlando's wooden acting. However I am in doubt that a lot of movie goers will be enthralled by the slapstick, somewhat juvenile attempts at humor the film produces. The action in this movie is thoroughly overused, and becomes quite boring towards the end. Indeed, I was sitting in my chair in the theater growing increasingly tedious at the endless roaring action scenes, and honestly couldn't wait to see the back of this movie.
If you completely base a movie on how good the CGI is, then this movie is for you. If maybe, you need a plot and some character building, then perhaps consider spending your money elsewhere
