dead man's chest, should of stayed buried.

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2006)

A terrible way to tell a story, considering, there IS no ending.
You can still have a sequel with a bang up finish like Indy Jones. We all knew Stars Wars to be continued, but this dead end, ending is not fair to the $10 movie goer.
Effects were great only, film way too long between laughs.
Saw it with a crowd of 50 Friday pm, we yawned more than chuckled. Not a film for kids 10 under or dentists. All actors mumbled through lines. The dice game made no sense. Bringing back EVERYBODY shows no imagination considering writers are a top notch team.
Scenes with the mystic lady, the Governor, the New Governor and the opening tribal scene were way tooo long, considering nothing happened. Too bad they could not cut them all out and keep the Monkey and Kracken, now they were fun.
Too many little subplots, and no real main plot. If you like this, you were taking in by the hype. and there is no cure.
Since dead man has no competition, being a box office was a gimme.
So alas, me heartys, tis be bad storytelling versus hype, and hype wins again. Arrr!
