disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (18 July 2006)

I give it a 3 only because of the production quality and good special effects. The jokes were lame, the acting was sub par compared to the first movie, the story wasn't very interesting, and there was basically no resolution to the movie. In other words, everything that made the first movie great was missing from this one. The only people who have liked it so far that I've talked to have been girls, all of which admittedly were staring dreamily at Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. At the very most, I will be renting the 3rd movie, but probably downloading as to not encourage anymore movies of this nature.
The sound design was quite good as was the use of color. Johnny Depp's performance wasn't very memorable, which could be said for the whole cast, I suppose. The fact that he more or less carried the first movie made me sad that he couldn't do the same here.
