Not a superior sequel, but still somewhat entertaining despite it being a bit longer than it should be with it's simple and narrow plot

Rating: 6/10 (9 May 2011)

Johnny Depp is back as Jack Sparrow and he seemed to have a lot of fun playing this character as always. It's good to see the actors or actresses enjoying their roles, but that seemed to be mostly the main aspect of this movie. In fact watching this movie was like watching the characters running around a theme part and getting on crazy rides. But that just isn't really enough to engage the audience or make the story interesting or all that entertaining. In fact the main flaws of this movie is the plot, I know the creators are saving it for the 3rd movie but this one just lacked plot. It has one but it mostly revolves around Jack Sparrow and the other characters running around and acting all wacky in the jungle that seem a lot like some cool theme park. Some say the subplots in this are overlong and I sort of agree, but it wasn't really irritating to watch or anything and sort of had it's moments. This one has a bit more action compared to the first movie and I can see why it was a huge hit in box office. However the movie seemed a bit long with it's 2 and a half hour mark because of it's very simple and narrow plot.
6.5/10
