Worth all the hype

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

Dead man's chest is definitely worth all the hype. It is very rare for a sequel to do as well as the first and this movie has met all the expectations. Jack Sparrow is up to his old antics and you feel like you know the characters on a personal level. There are references to the first movie which is why seeing the curse of the black pearl before the dead man's chest is mandatory. You can't help but laughing at all the fighting scenes because they just aren't very serious. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is responsible for that! He has done a wonderful job for this character and it shows just what a fantastic actor he is. Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly were also very good but Johnny Depp is really the star of the show. It is funny, thrilling and so enthrawlling that you forget you brought popcorn to the movie. It is definitely worth a second look.
Well done Disney, you have finally got something right!
