I'm pretty certain this will be a trilogy to rival "Back To The Future."

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2006)

It looks like we have another trilogy, folks.
Yes! That's what I said. Because, the final scene of this movie has a cliffhanger ending, similar to "BTTF 2." Which, in turn, leads me to hope that "POTC 3" was filmed simultaneous with this one!
Regarding "Dead Man's Chest?" The first half of this movie reminds me of that cult-classic, "Nate and Hayes" w/Tommy Lee Jones. Particularly, the part where Will Turner has to rescue Capt. Jack and his crew from cannibalistic Carib Indians.
From there, things heat up, as everyone tries to get to the eponymous chest, first, once the mystery of its contents is solved! Some of you, however, might be a little disappointed in that revelation, as a similar gimmick was used in "Brothers Grimm."
Even so, I loved this movie just as much as the first one. Kiera Knightley's Elizabeth is still beautiful and feisty. A suffragette centuries ahead of her time. Orlando Bloom (as Will Turner) is still honest, gallant, and courageous. And, Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow still has selfish method to his madcap-ness.
As for Bill Nighy, who plays Davy Jones? The Lovecraftian make-up job on him, and the rest of the Flying Dutchmen, can only be described in one word: EWWWWWW!
In short: set sail for the nearest movie theater, me hearties. And, then, drop anchor for the next rip-roarin' 2.5 hours.
