A stupendous summer blockbuster !

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2006)

Action packed sequel to POTC1 -- Dead Man's Chest is a trill ride from beginning to end. There is so much excitement, special effects, and laughs packed into DMC, that the 2-1/2 hr running time flies by, leaving you wishing it would continue. But for that, we have to wait for next summer.
Johnny Depp is back as Capt. Jack Sparrow, and is as delightful and eccentric as he was in the first movie. Orlando Bloom rises to the occasion here in DMC, and is given a great deal more to do -- mostly rescue Elizabeth, Jack and the rest of the crew who have fallen into the clutches of Davy Jones. Kiera Knightly has her way with the men and manages to kick-a$$ while doing it.
All in all, a terrific summer blockbuster, well worth your money, that will send you away with a grin on your face and a really bit desire to see the third movie asap !!!
