Action-packed sequel to the Disney-ride original...

Rating: 4/10 (26 November 2006)

1st watched 11/26/2006 - 4 out of 10(Dir-Gore Verbinski): Action-packed sequel to the Disney-ride original in an obvious 2nd out of 3 movies in this series. We follow our favorite anti-hero Pirate, Jack Sparrow thru his goofy exploits on the sea as he tries to recover a key to open the chest that houses the actual beating heart of the un-dead computer-animated octopus-faced "Davy Jones". His reason for recovering it is to pay him back on what he owes him. Jones is the leader of a ghostly gang aboard the floating Dutchmen that terrorizes the ocean seeking souls to join his undead crew. There are, I think, another 3 or 4 people looking for the same object for different reasons(all for their own safety I must say). The action is definitely almost non-stop with a couple of humorous sets and a couple of good lines from the Rolling stones impersonating Pirate, played by Johnny Depp. The problem with this movie is that we know who's going to make it out of every hair-raising situation so there's no suspense. And as far as drama, forget about itinstead we have a few people searching for an elusive trinket to help them out of their own particular predicament and people getting into situations way over their heads for the sake of their own interests. But of course, everything will work out for all of our most popular swashbuckling characters, as long as you keep watching even through the 3rd movie of course. There was definitely a lot of money put into the computer-animated special effects and the choreography of the fight sequences had to take some work, but who really cares?? In my opinion, this is just another Hollywood money-making machine so let's all join the cause and wait until the 3rd one is available for free somewhere before we watch it Who's with me??
