Yawn...

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2006)

Darn, thought it would be worth the time. Depp was very fun again, but the others were simply trying too hard...not to mention the writing was dull.
Special effects in the first Pirates were more pleasing to me, especially the underwater scenes, etc. In this movie, the special effects dollars were more Disney-like, which may be enjoyable for younger audiences (I'm 28 yrs old).
Violence. Why must we have throats being slit, murder after murder, and so many dead? Our children really do not need this type of exposure; possibly I am mistaken, but it appears that II was more murderous than I.
The movie is very long...too long! The ending is, well, despicable.
Not interested in Part III.
