Excellent sequel

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2007)

(more of a 7.5 but they don't have that on the rater) The gang is back and faces adventure with loads of characters, story lines, action, and pound of fun. The special effects are stunning (I wish I could've seen it in theaters), and Johnny Depp is as fun to watch as ever. A couple of plot holes don't take from the excitement each scene has to deliver. It is also very funny at times and has a couple dramatic moments as well. It may get a tad overwhelming at times with everything it has got going on, but fortunatley that also makes its two and a half hour running time flow by. It doesn't exactly captivate you as much as the first one did, but it adds the cherry to the sundae with an excellent, semi-cliffhanger ending that gets you twitching for the third enstallment.
