Captain Jack Sparrow is back!

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2006)

Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are taking their roles too seriously. Although Keira has achieved an Oscar standard in Pride & Prejudice, I do not think she puts in enough effort in here. Her hair cut is being shortened suddenly due to her role in Domino and the screenplay changes with her hair style as a temporary male pirate.
Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush is just for a second only right at the end, and we will need the final installment Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End to judge this film and the trilogy as a whole.
The fighting scenes in the first island are of wasting time. It is as if like purposely longer the total running time and yet it serves as the funniest part of the movie. They could have presented it in a better way.
This film have achieved numerous box office record this year as well as in the film history, perhaps the film makers have made us wait too long. We will need to be patient to see what and how they will present Chow Yun Fat in the last installment next year.
I strongly believe that no one actor can fight with Johnny Depp's electrifying performance seen everywhere since The Curse of the Black Pearl, he is really good and he earns praises from Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski, Chow Yun Fat, major cast and crew and film critics worldwide. According to the producer, if there is no Captain Jack, there will be no Pirates to be filmed.
My prediction for next year's Oscar, at least to be nominated in Best Actor in a Leading Role (Johnny Depp), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (BAFTA double winner cum Golden Golbe nominee Bill Nighy), Achievement in Visual Effects, Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Suound Editing, Makeup, Costume Design and Art Direction.
Overall the film is highly entertaining and the interaction between Captain Jack Sparrow with others is humorous! So far I prefer the first one, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
