if only all sequels were so entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2006)

if all sequels were as fun as this one, then we wouldn't mind having more around. From the time I first saw the trailer I knew the movie was gonna be at least fun, but I wasn't sure it was gonna rise up to everyones expectations. But it did. THe story was well told and even though you were a little confused in the beginning, it ended up to develop beautifully. Johnny Depp was magnificent and you couldn't take your eyes off the screen when he played. Orlando Bloom did a very good job as Will Turner and he gave the character more depth and mystery, than he did on the first film. Keira Knightly played her part very good, even though the difference between Elizabeth in the first film and Elizabeth in the second one is evident from the beginning. The other characters completed the puzzle, each giving a little something so as to make the movie wonderful. Stellan Scarsgard forced you to look at him, every time he appeared on screen as Will's father, "Bootstrap" Bill Turner and Bill Nighy was the most sinister Davy Jones, that made you wonder if his appearance was truly digital, or if he was somehow real. The next best thing were the special effects that were even better than the ones in the first film. But the cliffhanger in the ending was the cherry on the cake. The ending was the one that promised you that the third installment was gonna be darker and I'd like to hope better than the fist two. "Dead man's chest" is a fun movie and promises you 2 and a half interesting hours. Go Pirates. Can't wait for the third.
