DISNEY - PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2:
DEAD MAN'S CHEST(2006)
The second, though not as great as the first one, is a
great flick!!!! Another good tale with a great cast and
the cinematography again was awesome! Still a must
see movie!! A
From a reviewer at IMDb.com
Well, first of all, when I read the review for the movie
in my hometown paper, I was a little scared that Pirates
might be a let down. The trailer and the movie clips, it
seemed, didn't really let on that there was much of a story
line -- that it just kind of goes on and on and on, like the
Matrix 2, with no storyline -- just fighting. Plus, most people
do agree: sequels are hardly ever as good as the originals.
And in this case, it's true... Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead
Man's Chest isn't the original. But, its an awesome movie
in its own right! There are a few surprises in this movie. A
few characters come back from the first that you wouldn't
expect to see in the second. but... um! that's all I'm saying.
This movie is definitely a lot more violent and gory than
the first one. Don't bring the little kids to it. But, trust
me -- this is not a Matrix-type movie... There is an actual
storyline. And a good one at that. Capt. Jack Sparrow is
back as well as Elizabeth and Will, who are forced to find
him and obtain his compass, or else they will face the
gallows. Well, actually, Will has to find him. Elizabeth
escapes, and yes... as you've seen in the trailers, she
does dress up like a man for this movie. Making it all
the more comical. (you'll see what I mean).
The comedy was superb in this movie. Of course, it wasn't
as good as the first, but you can't expect it to be. Yes, there
were a few instances were they could've shortened the
fighting scenes, but it was very well shot and scripted.
I wish they would've changed a few things about the movie,
but you can't have everything. And don't expect everything
to be resolved at the end. No! There's a cliff-hanger ending
that leaves you wanting the watch the next one the moment
the credits start rolling.
If you like the first movie, you'll like the second... And that's
all I'm saying.
