Barely made sense

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2006)

Honestly, it feels like watching King Kong all over again. In King Kong it took about an hour and a half for Kong himself to finally show up, here it was about the same, needing a full hour before the villain Davy Jones shows his big tentacled face.
I won't repeat what other reviewers have said other than the fact that this movie could have been reduced by an hour and not have lost any of the drama and excitement it contained. Remember Hollywood: Less is more. Did we really need to have the whole cannibal tribe thing when it wasn't even part of the storyline? How about the whole Liar's dice scene which served absolutely no purpose at all. Is it so much to write a scene that has meaning to it?
Finally, I didn't really like how this movie was a melting pot for combining all different sea legends together into one big conglomerate mess. But then again Disney never comes up with anything original anymore, does it?
