Where's the last pages

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2006)

I really enjoyed the first installment. Johnny Depp is magical in his movements. He bobs and weaves his head, his whole body. His expressions are in a category of their own. Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom gave a decent performance. The special effects for Davy Jones, in particular, were grade A. I have to say, though, that there were a couple of disappointments that made it not worth paying to see it on the big screen. The story took too long to get into the action. My father used to infuriate his brother by cutting out the last two pages of whatever his brother was reading. To me this movie ended that way. I know it is setting things up for the third installment but it's a movie, not a soap opera. I hope the third one redeems this major disappointment.
