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:
Rating: 
- Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly fantastic!
The second installment was well worth watching.
This swashbuckling tale continues in the best of Disneys new style. You want something to watch with your kids with no foul language they'll like, this will fit the bill.
If you liked the first movie, this is just as good. And wait until you see the next installment. Things are just beginning for Jack and the crew!
Rating: - Best Pirates Film, Better DVD
FILM REVIEW (DVD review below):
Although "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" didn't scream "Sequel time!", the box office gross, popularity, and the subtitle alone couldn't have demanded anything else. "Dead Man's Chest" was of one of the best summer films of all time and did everything a sequel should do: There was more action, more thrills, more laughs, and a richer storyline.
Pros:
*Outstanding performance from Johnny Depp and newcomer Bill ... Read More
Rating: - Fast Shipping
I ordered two other items at the same time as this from two other sellers and this one arrived first. Movie itself was in perfect factory sealed condition.
Rating: - Great, great, great.
This is great, deal with it, okay, best of the year. Often hilarious, and humorous.
Rating: - Equal to the first
This movie is equal to the first. Action, humor and great affects. Can be viewed again and again to discover additional details and dialogue. Excellent adventure movie with a touch of humor.
