Great!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2007)

The pace of this sequel never flags. It's entertainment from start to finish. There's plenty of action and a cast full of colourful characters. The special effects are marvellous and when you see the kraken you can see how much special effects have progressed since It Came From Beneath The Sea. This tentacles are incredibly lifelike. In the scenes on the Flying Dutchman you can smell the stench of the salty sea air, the seaweed and the shellfish. It was interesting to learn that Davy Jones is actually a CGI image. When I first saw the film I thought it was Bill Nighy in a costume and only the maggot-like tentacles round his face were an effect. He gives a great performance. At the end of this film one can detect a Princess Leia-Han Solo-Luke Skywalker triangle forming between the main characters. We'll see how this progresses in the next film which is out in a few weeks.
