The best part is the ending

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2006)

Admittedly Dead Man's Chest had a lot to live up to. And, as with most highly anticipated sequels it didn't live up to the hype. Overall, it was a fun movie, although I found the story weak and hard to follow until almost the very end of the film. The action sequences were great but sparse for a 2-1/2 hour movie. In my opinion, the special effects used on Davey Jones' crew was over done and unbelievable. The actors' performances were excellent as usual. Johnny Depp was fun and witty although it seemed that his drunken banter was much more limited than in the previous Pirates. Kiera Knightly was incredible and a joy to watch as always, and Orlando Bloom met all expectations as the hero. I have to say I was overall I was disappointed. The best part of the movie is the ending.
