Deadly Dull!

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2006)

Too much action does not make a good film. What happened to the plot? Jack Sparrow just wasn't funny in this film, apart from the odd "Oh Bugger" comment.
I was expecting a lot after watching the first POTC film but this is a mere shadow of it's predecessor, two dimensional and insubstantial.
Finding out at the end that the whole film was just another trailer for the next film was irritating to say the least. The best bit of the film was the end credits scrolling up the screen and the realisation that after too long sat in a cinema seat wasting time watching this utter drivel that it was thankfully time to go home.
Unfortunately, it's going to be necessary to watch part 3 to see if it can redeem the trilogy by being as good or better than the first film. Somehow I get a bad feeling that it's going to be much the same as Dead Man's Chest. :(
