Just as good as the first

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

Really can't explain anything - bottom line is you will enjoy the movie as much as the first - and you will be thirsty for the 3rd (which I understand is coming out in December 2006).
Depp is wonderful, as in the first, and very comical.
The Flying Dutchman's crew is great.
The movie is more graphic off of the camera (adults and most older kids will understand what is happening, you just do not see it).
With all of the previews it is over 2 hours.
FROM HERE ON IS A SPOILER!!!!
Depp actually dies just before the end of the movie, but storyline is set for him to come back to life through the efforts of the other 2.
That alone should make for a wonderful story line, but there is the other side where.....
The bad guy now has the heart of Davy Jones and will control him - this leads one to believe that this will be the subplot.
It all seems to be wonderful - set up like a Star Wars movie - you know where (for the most part) the next edition is going but you don't know how the plot will work out.
I for one can't wait!
