Pirates 2.1, got to wait a year for 2.2 to complete the plot

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2006)

Wow. A lot of fun. Almost as much fun as the Curse of the Black Pearl.
I didn't like this as much as the first POTC film. Mainly because I couldn't get over Davy Jones' & his crew's severe dermatological problems. I guess it was hard for the effects team to top the undead moonlit creative genius from the first film.
I also didn't like the fact that this film doesn't end. You will have to actually see the 3rd film to get to the denouement of the plot. Similar to the ending moments of Back to the Future 2, but not nearly as satisfying. As a matter of fact the ending of this film raises more questions than it answered. Though I may skip the the third film out of spite. So the title should be 2.1 and the third film should actually be called Pirates of the Caribbean 2.2: The Curse of Disney Co's Greed.
