too much emphasis on the "undead" concept

Rating: 6/10 (4 August 2006)

I was surprised that I actually became bored in several scenes with this movie and can say with certainty that I enjoyed Pirates 1 much more. Still, it was very entertaining with plenty of action and laughs. My boredom was with the over-abundance of "undead" scenes. Those were my least favorite parts of Pirates 1 and there was just way too much of it in Pirates 2. Those feel too much like scenes from a zombie movie and even though the graphics are superb, they are still lame. If you can take that in stride then its a very worth-while movie to see.
Some parents may be uncomfortable with the high levels of gross, gore, and violence in the movie from the very start. Yes, you expect that stuff to be in a movie solely about pirates, but just be aware of it as it could cause nightmares for young children.
Overall I enjoyed the movie, but couldn't help feeling it could have been so much better with less emphasis on the zombies.
