Epic but unsettling...

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2006)

While the plot was very intriguing and the characters were definitely complex and interesting I found certain aspects of the movie unsettling. The end was a major cliff hanger which left me and my friends feeling slightly short changed and unsure of how to react. We simply thought the movies should stand on their own and not depend on the fact that there will be a sequel, although I am definitely looking forward to the next film.
However, they managed to add new depth to the characters of Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner, Norrington and of course Jack Sparrow. Davy Jones was a wonderfully imaginative character capable of a darkness that was difficult to foresee in a Disney film.
I recommend this movie unless you don't like unfinished endings that leave you feeling slightly anxious.
