There was never a guy like Jack Sparrow

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2007)

Once again the slurring, swaying, scoundrel by the name of Jack Sparrow is back, played ever so brilliantly by who is now my favourite actor (Johnny Depp). This time, he has a debt to pay. To the devil of the seas, the convincingly slimy Davy Jones (Bill Nighy). Once again, the three main characters, Jack, Will (Orlando Bloom), and Elizabeth(Keira Knightly), are sent into a wild, crazy adventure involving cannibals, crusty sea men, a giant tentacled behemoth and a beating heart. The excitement is unrelenting, and after two and a half hours, I wanted more. There is a lot of laughs, lots of amazing special effects, and lots of prime popcorn movie material. Jerry Bruickheimer usually delivers great movies, so I was expecting even more than the first Pirates. I did. It was bigger, darker, and everything a sequel should be, easily by favourite sequel since the Two Towers. The surprise ending leaves me waiting impatiently for the third. Great, great movie. I hope Johnny gets credit for his portrayal. He rocks.
