Good Movie - I am ready for number 3

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2006)

Just got in from the midnight showing - it was a packed theater of course! At least half the audience were dressed as Pirates!
The movie was good - very good - but not as good as the first. The effects, as expected, were awesome, especially Davey Jones and his crew. And Johnny Depp re prised the role of Jack Sparrow with perfection.
Unlike the first POC - Dead Mans Chest starts out fairly slow - but it does build and by about 45 minutes into the 2 1/2 hour movie it is gets fun and exciting! I kind of equate this movie to the 2nd film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy... Was a good movie - not as good as the first - BUT - is a GREAT transition for the third and you leave hungery for the 3rd to be released! With the ending scene of this movie I know I heard at least 75% of the audience shout "COOL!" Bottom line - if you liked the first - you will like this one and if you plan on seeing the third you really have to see this one. I would say this is yet another huge hit for Disney and the POC craze shall continue!
Go see it - enjoy - well worth the time and money and a lot of fun to see with a packed audience!
