Pirates of the Caribbean 2 dead man’s chest was little disapointing. Since the first film skyrocketed i had high expectations for the 2nd. I just thought every thing was too much. The action sequences could have been cut down alot since they kind of got out of hand and were highly unrealistic but this is a movie about pirates so i guess i could let that one slide. The cliffhanger at the end definitly reflects another sequel in the near future but again was very unrealistic. The plot was sort of all over the place and it wasn’t organized and thought out like the previous film. Johnny Depp of course did a great job at portraying the character of Captain Jack sparrow but his facial expressions again became to be too much as the movie progressed. Of course the location of this film was positively beautiful i was more distracted by the background than the actual plot of the movie. overall my verdict is a 3 out of 5 star. It is hard to do a sequal to such a hit movie and i applaud them for making it as good as it was. i am anxious to see the next movie however and hope that won’t be as over the top.
