Amazing - Yet Not Better

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2006)

Most of the movie was amazing, once again like the previous movie, I enjoyed this one very much. Some negatives to this movie however, in which it cannot compare to it's predecessor. First of all, I felt "the kraken" effects in some scenes were quite unrealistic - I won't mention which scenes to avoid spoilers. Also, I don't know if it was only me, but I did notice that Johny Depp's performance in this movie was nothing compared to his performance in the previous Pirates of the Caribbean. Seems he didn't put a lot of effort into it this time, didn't seem like he was really "Jack Sparrow" anymore. The movie was quite good, but the end was quite disappointing. I would have wished to see the conclusion of that - but I guess I can wait 5-6 months to see it now. Other than that, great work and great acting by the cast. Recommend to everyone if you're a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean - and even if you're not, this one you definitely won't want to miss.
