-average movie - not a patch on the 1st - IMDb ruined it for me

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2006)

This was a good film basically but they have tried to cram to much into the film. Not a patch on the 1st. Again Johny Depp is excellent in it, again great special effects. This was not "pirates 2" but "laughs with Jack Sparrow." Comedy pretty good (a fair amount of jokes from the 1st one). Adventure/action was taken to far. they have tried to cram in so many action and adventure scenarios that it spoils a large part of the movie. The following scene is always some what predictable. Buy it on DVD, don't waste your money at the cinema. I wish I had not read pirates 3 before seeing this movie, may have enjoyed it more. Do not read IMDb's details on pirates 3 if you have not seen this movie, that review gives away the story and ending to Pirates 2.
