Jack Sparrow's Best Outing.

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2015)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006): Dir: Gore Verbinski / Cast: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy, Stellan Skarsgard: Extraordinary visual extravaganza full of energy, humour and adventure. This time it regards a debt, which could regard Will Turner and Elizabeth who face certain death for previously assisting Captain Jack Sparrow, but it ultimately regards Sparrow and the reality of facing his wrongs after a deceptive past. Will must retrieve Jack's compass in order for his sentence to be lifted but bargained with Sparrow who seeks a key to the Dead Man's Chest. This lands Will into the clutches of the cursed fish-like pirates headed by the squid headed Davey Jones. This is where he encounters his father, a prisoner. Nothing more than a follow up to the previous film yet it doesn't repeat itself. Directed by Gore Verbinski with exquisite production highlighted by the sea monster Kraken. Johnny Depp returns as Sparrow who escapes the law and positioned to help Will but ultimately he will understand and erect sacrifice. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley return as Will and Elizabeth whose wedding is interrupted and their lives at stake. Bill Nighy portrays the dreaded Davy Jones who will be outsmarted. Stellan Skarsgard plays Bill Turner, Will's father who is a prisoner. Tremendous demonstration of sacrifice and humility. Score: 9 / 10
