Disappointing, but reasonable

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2006)

When I first read the critics' reviews of this film, I expected the critics to be wrong. I expected this movie to be awesome. But the critics, in some way, were actually right. I liked and didn't like this movie. The music and effects were absolutely brilliant. Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley were outstanding in their roles. The action left me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. Hans Zimmer, who did the score, definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for this film, as does Johnny Depp. However, the movie was too long. There wasn't as much story as there was in the first movie. There were too many monsters in the action scenes. Overall, this movie was not as good and addicting as the first. On the contrary, there is a twist at the end of this movie that will definitely shock you. You will want to see the third movie, which I think will be much better than this one. Overall, Dead Man's Chest is a satisfactory sequel to a beloved classic!
