Pirates 2 better than the original

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2006)

I read a very malicious review of this and feel the need to set the records straight.
Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is better than the original in my opinion on all fronts. The Effects are tremendous and live up too the reputation that Disney has set up for this franchise. I particularly enjoyed dead mans chest for the real old fashioned good pirate story in the flick.
In Particular I enjoyed the performance of Bill Nighy under the tentacle adorned Davy Jones.
The film is a little long in the tooth at 2 1/2 hours but is worth every minute, the actors here are the film , and to think that Disney exec's were terrified when they saw how Depp portrayed Jack Sparrow ... I think the real scary part of that is those exec's all still have jobs ... this was a truly inspired performance .
Rumour has it we will be seeing the mentor of that performance in the third installment very soon ... Three Guesses ... and the first two are both Keith Richards.
