What a blast!

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2006)

Depp et al do it again in even greater style than Pirates I. Non-stop fun and action from the opening scene until the very end which leaves one suspended and ready for Pirates III next year. Entertainment as it always should be and too often isn't. Parents might want to be cautious about taking young children as some brief scenes are gory and might frighten nervous youngsters although three little brothers sitting near us were riveted throughout and didn't seem bothered by the scary bits one iota. The special effects, CGI and costumes are brilliant, the sea battle scenes are fast-paced and not over-long and the pure action scenes are obviously the product of some extremely inventive and imaginative minds. Definitely one not to miss.
