A Great Popcorn Movie!

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2006)

This movie is about Jack Sparrow owing an unpaid debt to Davy Jones and his army of sea-phantoms. What? His soul. Now he must save himself from them with a help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, as they look for Jack for his compass.
This movie isn't better than the first pirates film, although it's funner and bigger. It's actually very different than the first film. One problem about the film is that it's just too long. Although it's long, I still enjoyed it by many funny and action scenes. Johnny Depp is the perfect role for Jack Sparrow. The acting is great. The visual effects are great, at first rate.
Now another problem of the film is that the film drags along. Some of the action scenes are too long. Although many didn't like the ending, because there is no ending, I liked it. We know they'll continue on for the third film so just get use to cliffhangers. There are good and funny jokes in the movie, many of them involving Johnny Depp. Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) make up is amazing.
Kracken, the infamous cool-looking sea monster, also drags the film. The scenes with it just takes too long. This is a huge step from the first film. It's darker than the first film.
This is just a great popcorn flick filled with humor, romance, and great action scenes. Although it's not better than the first film, definitely go and see it. You'll have some fun.
