Looooong and not as good as the original

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2006)

After seeing the first Pirates of the Carribbean movie I was excited to see Johnny Depp repeat his performance in this second version of the movie. Once again the writers of this second version fell flat on their face with the story. First off this movie was way to long running for two and a half hours. Could have chopped off at least a half hour. The only thing positive about this overlong version was the special effects which were very good. Johnny Depp gave a very good performance as well as several members of the cast who I am not familiar with previously. Your best best would be to watch the original version of Pirates of the Carribbean again and pass this one up. If you have to see it despite my warnings get the DVD and save yourself the price of admission.
