Weak follow up to the original

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2016)

All the things that made the original movie such a huge success were abandoned in this outing, instead they opted for tons of special effects and glam and it just felt so trite and boring in comparison. What did you love about the first one? I loved swashbuckling Johnny Depp, creepy pirates, great sword fights, hilarious dialogue and a love story all rolled into one! The second one they just abandoned all that except for when they were recycling the same exact jokes and schtick. The result is an effect-heavy movie where you don't care about the main characters half as much as you did before and every scene and plot twist just becomes more and more tiresome and predictable.
I don't know who the idiots are who are giving this 10/10 but they're the reason Hollywood continues to get away with this scam and ruins franchises
