A Great Ride- With A Great Cliffhanger

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2006)

Pirates of The Caribbean Dead Mans Chest Takes is a twit of different plots from start to finish. Although I was afraid this movie would struggle because the story almost concluded in The Pearl, I was surprised to find that it was done quite well, having a great new plot with two completely new villains Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) and Davy Jones and his crew of waterlogged miscreants. The story involves Elizabeth (Keira Knightly) and Will (Orlando Bloom) setting out on a quest to find Jack (Johnny Depp) to save their marriage and their freedom. Dead Mans Chest, although taking a while to warm up, has a much deeper and darker plot, exploring and deepening each character, twisting comedy, romance, horror and adventure all into the one movie. The last 10 minutes is very intense, and the end is a cliffhanger that makes you want Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Apart from this, the movie still has its funny bits and the same great humor form Cpt. Jack. It's a Great Ride, doing Black Pearl the justice that it deserves.
