recommended, but not as good as the first

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 2006)

I would recommend the movie to anyone who enjoyed the first one.
However, there are components missing from this film which was present in the first film The first thing missing is the clever dialog that was in the first film is not in the 2nd film. The first film had numerous funny lines, especially by Captain Jack Sparrow. The second film lacked these. I saw the film two days ago and none of the funny lines are memorable enough to recall. Can you say Par-lay? The second thing is, there is not much explanation of the reasons behind Davy Jones and his crew and what "rules" they are subject to. In the first film the cursed pirates of the Black Pearl are revealed by moonlight. Are the crew of the Flying Dutchmen immune to everything or what is their weakness?
