Another Sequel which matches the original. ****1/2 out of *****

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2008)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's Chest carries on from just after the end of the first in the Series in 2003, as Governor's Daughter Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and lover & Pirate's son Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) are sentenced to death for assisting and helping to Free the notorious ramshackle Pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp)
In return for their freedom the new commodore & Governor wannabe Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) asks them to Find Captain Jack & return him along with the broken compass that carries on his person, The one that does not point Northwards, The reason for this is Because it actually points towards the long un-dead pirate Davy jones's (An unrecogniseable Bill Nighy) Chest which contains his still beating heart, Captain Jack has his own reason for finding the Chest.
This is Johnny Depp's movie, without his barnstorming performance as the flamboyant & eccentric Jack Sparrow, it would be rather average although the special FX are again outstanding all of which turned this 2nd Film in the series into one of the highest grossing films of all time reaching a Billion dollars worldwide.
