Pirates II Has a Different View

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2006)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest does a fantastic job of doing the duty of a sequel. The humor in Pirates II was a lot more enjoyable. Though some people found how it ended oddly, I would say that it was an excellent lead-in to Pirates III. Everyone from the original cast is back, including Norrington and Governor Swann. We are also introduced to some new faces such as Will Turner's father, Bootstrap Bill, and Davy Jones himself. If you noticed in the first Pirates movie, The Curse Of The Black Pearl, you would notice that the movie ended happily, as if there was no intention of creating sequels to it. This one, however, cuts off the end. I personally enjoyed being left hanging, because It gives me (the viewer) the assurance to know that the story is yet to be over. I cannot wait to see how this turns out in Pirates III, and Dead Mans Chest is a movie that the whole family can enjoy.
