Sad...

Rating: 2/10 (11 July 2006)

There was much to be expected from the sequel to one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately it did not meet any of my expectations and I spent the entire time in the theater asking myself 'Is it over yet?' Boring battle scenes, cheap jokes, cheesy acting, sub-par story, stupid new characters, and a horrible ending. A complete disappointment and embarrassment. I do give a nod, however, to the visual effects which were stunning, but a film with such a big budget tends to drift away from direction and screenplay and focus only on visual effects which in turn does not make a good movie. The effects are what give this movie 2 stars out of 10. POTC: Dead Man's Chest was a waste of money and an embarrassment to Black Pearl AND Disney studios. I only hope the third installment is better.
