Great until the end

Rating: 5/10 (8 July 2006)

This sequel is one of those rare movies that's better than the original. Up until the end, that is. I'm one of those who hate total cliffhanger endings with no resolution. I want to leave a good movie feeling satisfied, not let down. I predict that this edition will do the poorest at the box office of all three. Remember Empire Strikes Back, the second installment of the first Star Wars trilogies? It came in a distant third in profits for the same reason. People went to see the first and third installments over and over again. When they left the theaters after the second one they were thinking, "Okay I've seen it and I'm up to date, now bring on the next one." It will be the same thing with Dead Man's Chest. I don't even want to own the DVD when it comes out.
