Keyword: FUN and ENTERTAINING!

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2006)

My best friend had told me that this movie was very entertaining, and his word was proved well after I finished from watching it.
It was all about another adventure of the crazy-but-lovable trio, Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley), and this time they were facing someone (or something) far more dangerous than Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). It was none other than Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) who wanted Jack's soul as payment for his debt.
I must say this movie totally blew me off with laughter and excitement. It was so silly in a fun way and made 2.5-hours worth watching until I didn't realize it ended. Depp's acting was superb and I don't think other actors could replace him. It does looks like Depp and Sparrow is one person all this time. Another actor that surprised me was Bill Nighy who played as Davy Jones. Behind his tentacles you can still saw his crazy acting and that was amazing.
Although the movie was good and entertaining, it took awhile for me at the beginning of the movie to make the connection between the first one (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl  2003) with this one. I have to admit that I forgot some details from the 1st Pirates and yet I need to focus on details in the 2nd Pirates. It was minor though and your memory could easily got refreshed as the movie flows. As for the story, the 1st Pirates had richer story than the sequel, but the sequel had more fun and entertaining scenes, or I would rather say silly and entertaining, which it will make you excited. Anyways, this movie will surely surprised you, especially at the end.
In summary, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was one of the great summer movies that worth watching. You may watch the 1st one before the sequel to enjoy this movie better, but that's not a must. Oh, I just want to give you a hint (not a spoiler). If you want, please stay on your seat until the end credit title finished. You will see a scene there, which was made for another laugh only, similar to what they have in Cars.
