Not as good as the first one

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2006)

I was regretted not checking the IMDb before watching this movie. It was a disappointment. The only session of the movie that I like is about the black pearl crew trying to escape from the man-eating tribe. It's funny, made me laugh. The major spoiler of the movie is too much child-style sword fighting. You don't feel the tension or the danger in these fighting scenes, good for children to watch.
The story outline is full of non-sense. Most good movie have their own logic inside, even science fiction or comic, such as matrix, x-man and peter-pan. But this movie just carry the plot through the words and act of a witch. It is convenient and cheap to write the script for this movie. For the first private of Caribbean, it is full of interesting surprising plots.
The special make up or computer graphic is OK but not fantastic. The makeup is having too much plastic-mask-feel. But in the old show, the effects of the skeleton under moonlight is a real good new idea.
Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush and the governor acts well in the old show. In this new show, Johhny is too comical. He did not get the chance to act as a brilliant private captain who is smart, a good combination of sissy and brave. someone always can handle tough situation with easy and being good at sword fighting. And we need not to mention about the acting of those crew covered under the plastic masks, dirt, seashell, coral and etc - they don't get much chance too.
This should be a show for children and young teens.
