Gruesome & Ugly

Rating: 5/10 (9 September 2006)

Take out the flamboyant "Captain" Jack Sparrow and lovely Keira Knightely and you have a visually disgusting movie left. Half of it has been shot in the dark with gruesome creatures trying to scare your wits and failing to do so. The first movie had a lively and adventurous spirit about it, which the makers have failed to recapture in this sequel. Let us hope that Pirates III revives the glory of Pirates I. Davy Jones was awful to look at and hard to hear. No match to Barbossa who was simply awesome. The movie starts at a snail's pace, continues at tortoise's speed and every one is really thankful when it finally ends.
