Pay full price and be prepared for 2+ hours of movie magic.

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2006)

Although the start of the movie may be a bit slow for some I think it helps to tie it together. My wife and I and our daughter (35 and due with our 3rd Grandchild any day) really really liked the movie. It is not just a rehash of the first. The Davey Jones character is very inventive and portrayed wonderfully by Bill Nighy. This is the kind of movie I go to the theater to see. Definitely big screen, big sound. I like to get lost for a few hours and this movie certainly does the trick. It is a bit much for young kids though so I would definitely heed the PG-13 rating. I ended up seeing the first POTC 4 times in the theater taking family and friends who where reluctant at first to see it. I am sure I will be going at least that many times again with this installment. If you are looking for a movie that makes you ponder the nature of the universe and why we are here this is not the movie for you. If you want to be whisked away in fantasy mayhem then climb aboard for the ride. Kudos to the entire cast and crew. And a big kudos to Johnny Depp for creating such a memorable pirate.
