- Gore Verbinski, the director, has an appropriate sense of mischief, as well as a gift, nearly equaling those of Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg, for integrating CGI seamlessly into his cinematic compositions.

  Did I Leave the Gas On?
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Pirates' film, but 'Pirates 2' leaves you with a faint suspicion that maybe you should have got more out of it.<... read more »

  Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest
  
  I tried hard to enjoy this film as my grandaughter (11) encouraged me to! But it really is more suited to her generation.
  
  Johnny Depp is so camp!

- Depp is mostly great here, too, playing for laughs, which he easily gets, but also hinting more than previously at a sinister, less whimsical side to Jack.

- Johnny Depp is back in prime form as Capt. Jack Sparrow, the most subversive hero ever in a Disney movie. [...] You can't take your eyes off him.
