A let down

Rating: 4/10 (19 July 2006)

First off I am a big Johnny Depp fan and loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean.
This movie was a big let down. Boring at times and more childish than funny. I wondered if it would ever end. And, when it finally ended, I felt there was no clear climax. The storyline is week and chases too many rabbits. I impressed me more as a set up for getting people to go see Part III!
The computer generated effects and "make-up" were fun and interesting.
Quality of sound prevented me from hearing and understanding many of the conversations and comments. Between the heavy British and caribbean accents, crucial dialogs were confusing.
The initial plot layout was difficult to follow (complicated) for a "fun" movie. The actor's did a good job. It had an array of "Star Wars" type characters.
There were some good laugh-out-loud moments.
I wouldn't recommend that my friends go see it.
