A must see movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

To say the least this movie was excellent. Excellent visuals, excellent soundtrack, excellent acting. What placed it a step above the first movie was the innate feeling of a greater evil that ran throughout the movie. Where in the first one, the enemy was only a mutinous first mate, the enemy here is Davy Jones himself-the Devil of the sea. It steps the movie up to a whole new level. Now everyone is in danger. Jack Sparrow, the one we have all come to love is stretched to his wits end to get himself out of an even stickier situation. The whole scale has been spun 10 times bigger, with greater danger, greater action and an all over greater viewing experience. Also the hint of a romance between Jack and Elizabeth adds a new dimension with a greater weight being placed on the already existing Elizabeth/Will relationship. Not only this but a heated lip-lock between Jack and Lizzie, something I did *not see coming*, but something everybody has been wanting to see since the first one cranked up the movie making it even *better*. But with all this danger and deception, there are still the hilarious jokes, some of which were (thankfully) carried through from the first movie-namely the Rum gag, the same swashbuckling action sequences, now more elaborate than ever, and exotic characters that give the movie its characteristic flair. It has everything. Stunning graphics, tropical beaches, pirate ships, another bewitched undead crew, mysterious voodoo sorceresses, kinky love triangles, rum, an undead monkey, Johnny Depp, cannibals, gambling, laughs, tears, a *cliffhanger* of an ending that almost made me scream but has definitely convinced me to see the third one, everything. Take everything you loved about the first movie, times it by 1000 and you have Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. This is a must see movie!!!
