Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the strong suit of the franchise, as the film excels during its stunt pieces, which are impressively extravagant (in particular a three-way swordfight atop a mill wheel). It may help to know that Dead Man's Chest was filmed simultaneously with some of Pirates 3, so don't expect a complete resolution (think more The Empire Strikes Back) or the movie will feel a lot longer than it really is.

Bloom shows a tad bit more brawn this time around, but he's still every bit as pretty as the tomboyish Knightley. (Seriously, sometimes you think they could swap roles.) Bill Nighy (Love, Actually) weighs in as Davy Jones and Stellan Skarsgård appears as Will's undead father. But the film still belongs wholly to Depp, who in a reprise of his Oscar-nominated role gets all the belly laughs with a single widened eyeliner-ed gaze. He still runs like a cartoon hen and slurs like Keith Richards--and he's still one of the most fascinating movie characters in recent history. --Ellen A. Kim

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not the original's quality, but still fun.
What can I say? You saw the original movie, you know how this works. This film sees all your favourites form Black Pearl return in a story just as stoked with ancient curses, monsters and Johny Depp. Bloom and Knightly work well, Bill Nighy plays a good villain and we have some nice moral ambiguties here and there, but you don't care about that do you?
No, this is what you need to know - Depp is back on top form as Jack Sparrow, giving the role all the keith-richards off cliter delivery he ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent!
I don't know if you could say it's better than the first one, but I am sure anyone would say: it's a very good one indeed!

Excellent plot, special effects, good acting and very very entertaining indeed. It is a pirate tale with everything you'd like to see in it and with room for surprises here and there!!

Not much else to say without spoiling the plot, I'll be looking forward to have my dvd copy delivered!!!






Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I've got a jar of dirt!
This movie deserves more than just a 5 star rating!! It is better than the first one. It funnier than the first one. Everyone who hasn't seen it I recommend this movie!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Entertaining, but flawed
First off, I'd like to say that I did enjoy this film, but it has major points that bought it down for me.

It begins after the first film (Duh) where Will Turner is forced to track down Jack Sparrow's compass (Which has magical properties) in exchange for Elizabeth's life, or else the British army will kill her. From there on in more mysteries of the sea and the world of pirating (At least in this universe!) is unleashed.

I never really liked the character Jack Sparrow, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Johnny steels the show again!!
