The sequel is a new adventure

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2007)

I liked this movie. It is a sequel that begins a new quest, this time to find dead man's chest. It ends set up for the third film that is its conclusion. The first film stands alone, but sets up many of the characters in this new adventure.
The special effects are just as good and there is a new villain, Davy Jones, whose tentacles have a mind of their own. The new dead pirates on Jones' ship were cool, there was the one with the hammer head and shell head, just really cool. We don't get to see much of the Kraken until the end, but when we see it's mouth, wow! Also, Johnny Depp is once again great and the humor is back. I thought it was almost as funny as the first. And I thought the plot made sense. I don't agree with all these reviews saying it was too long, plot hard to follow. I thought it was very entertaining.
FINAL VERDICT: If you liked the first, this is a must see. I will go see the third film in the theater. It opens this weekend.
