it was alright, but doesn't come close to the first

Rating: 2/10 (9 July 2006)

**Minor Spoilers** I went into this movie expecting it not to be as good as the first, so in return i wasn't too disappointed. The movie was pretty good, id be lying if i said i didn't enjoy it. there are some things, in my opinion, that the movie could have changed or done without.
1. davey jones and his crew would have been more effective if they looked like real men, like the barbossa and his crew from the first. i just couldn't get into the idea of them looking like sea creatures, seeing a big squid walk all over the place doesn't quite seem fitting.
2. The first film had a lot of humor that was built right in and flowed naturally w/ the script. don't get me wrong this one has plenty of that as well, but there are some points where they try to incorporate the humor a little too much and it seems out of place 3. I'm sorry, but there is no place in a pirates movie for a bullet time fly-by. the effect has been way over done since the matrix and doesn't fit w/ a pirates of the Caribbean movie.
4. there is a point in the movie where a certain someone plays a dice game w/ Davey jones w/ the terms of eternal servitude. the rules aren't explained very well and afterward your left wondering what just happened and why
5. Though i didn't mind the length of the movie, the whole scene w/ jack on the island as a god about to be sacrificed had nothing to do w/ the plot and seemed extremely unnecessary, it could have at least been shortened if not taken out
those are just a few, and besides those i didn't have a problem with this film. all in all i gave it a 6 because the plot wasn't quite as interesting as before, and a few minor things that added upthroughout the film
