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.
Whilst it could never be accused of failing to deliver one spectacular action sequence after another, what it sadly lacks is continuity. You are rushed from one death defying and in many cases nigh on impossible stunt to the next, whilst dropping in a tasty character development to keep you wanting more.
At well over 2 hours long it still feels rushed, as if they need to fit in as much as possible. In this sense, it is very like other "second in the trilogy" films, and ends with a suitable cliff hanger to keep you salivating till next summer.
Despite the bumpy ride it ticks all the boxes for fantastic set pieces, beautiful scenery and swashbuckling action. Johnny Depp is as over the top as ever, (and brilliantly so), and Bill Nighy provides a very suitable counterpart in tentacle faced Davy Jones, complete with his crew of aquatic monstrosities.
The script contains some genuinely funny moments, and plenty of intriguing references to make you want to watch the original again. All in all, a good way to pass an evening, but don’t go expecting any dramatic changes from the original. -

Brilliant - want no. 3 NOW
Dead Man's Chest is a great film. Now, admittedly, it is not up to Curse of the Black Pearl standard but it is still a 10/10 film in its own right. Maybe if we were talking out of 100 Curse's edge could be shown in the rating.
I think the main place that DMC falls down is that it is TOO funny. CoBP was very dark - Sparrow had been written as a straight character and then was played comically. In contrast, Sparrow has been written as a comedic role in DMC and this makes him a bit OTT on the funny stakes and it does feel a tiny bit forced at times. But essentially this is more of the same adventure and fantasy.
However, this is still an excellent film with brilliant performances all round - the development of Will and Norrington stand out as the main growth/change in character.
The ending is frustrating - but only because you want to see what happens in part 3. Here's hoping it carries on in the same fashion and keeps the high standard. -
