Too long, too confusing

Rating: 5/10 (1 September 2006)

The plot of the first film is complex enough and it seems that in this instalment they lost their mind in secondary plots and special effects to care about keeping it simple. Watching Curse of the Black Pearl again before you go is absolutely necessary.
Stunts are fabulous though, and a great team of Johnny Depp, Keira Nightly (*oh i'd love that) and Orlando Bloom deliver a very good performance.
Also Bill Nighy and MacKenzie Crook deliver a very good performance.
It did not keep me from getting bored, and although I laughed, would not buy it on DVD any time soon. The magic of the silver screen and theatre sound made up for a complex but poor story. Even the great music theme was shrunk. What a pity.
Watch it or not watch it? Go ahead then. But you should know this is a bigger sandwich with less taste than Curse of the Black Pearl.
