WOOD) returns in this rip-roaring, sea-faring sequel to the colossal hit, CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. Reunited with Will Turner (Orlando Bloom - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, TROY) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley - PRIDE & PREJUDICE, DOMINO), Sparrow must face his greatest adversary yet ? the nautically naughty Davey Jones (Bill Nighy ?

Advantages: Great special effects and action sequences, and that music! Disadvantages: Story is awful, so is Orlando Bloom... oh and the script
...welcome aboard this review of Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, ye salty sea dogs. And stuff.
This sea-quel (yo ho ho) to the 2003 surprise mega hit brings back the original main cast of Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, plus all the rest; it also brings in a new villain, Davy Jones (comes complete with his locker), played by Bill Nighy. It smashed the US record for most bounty hauled in on the opening weekend, netting over ... ...A key part of both Pirates films has been the humour; after all, they are family-orientated movies. This is mainly down to Johnny Depp's fantastic performances as the roguish Sparrow, although the script in the first film did have some really funny lines too. However, in this sequel, I thought the comedy had become a bit too lamely physical: Johnny Depp falling down a hole isn't funny, nor is Johnny Depp falling down a flight of stairs. That's not ...

Advantages: The return of Johnny Depp as captain Jack, fantastic special effects Disadvantages: not a stand alone film
...to undergo this treatment is Pirates of the Caribbean. The first film was a huge success, but whether a sequel or two would be able to add to the appeal remained to be seen.
Dead Man's Chest picks up shortly after the Curse of the Black Pearl. Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) is about to be married to Elizabeth Swan (Kiera Knightley) when they are arrested for assisting a known pirate to escape. Will is tasked with retrieving a compass from that pirate, ... ...the second instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. I'd had doubts before I watched it but they were soon dispelled. It's still quite a fresh and original concept but certainly a lot of that is down to the charm and appeal of the actors portrayal of the lead characters. While I don't think the film works on its own it certainly works as part of the series and for that reason I recommend everyone watches both films together. This makes ...

A Pirates Life For Me

Captain Jack Sparrow is back and in swashbuckling mood again in the long awaited sequel to The Curse of the Black Pearl.
This time Sparrow has a lot on his plate, he has sold his soul to Davey Jones and now he wants it. Davey Jones has his own problem in that his heart that is left beating in a hidden chest is being hunted.
Jones has a secret weapon in the form of a huge octopus like creature that he can ... ...their hands.
The original Pirates of the Caribbean probably surprised many people as like me they probably thought it would appeal mostly to children. However, it is was a film that appeals to all the family. A winner all round.
The first sequel, for there are to be three, reunited most of the cast of the first film. Johnny Depp of course playing the mostly good pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow.
The new bad guy ,Davy Jones, played by Bill Nighy, although ...

Advantages: Hilarious, comedy gold Disadvantages: Needs a leprechaun (but I think that about all films)
...was a delightful sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, and sets us up nicely to look forward to the third part of what will hopefully be a solid trilogy and not get dragged out for ever into the depths of hell with the ludicrous seven million films in the Exorcist and TCM franchises.
The film has the same basic cast as the first one, with Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly reprising their roles once again to great aplomb, and Gore Verbinski ... ...Black Pearl.
Other notable cast members were Jack Davenport, Jonathan Pryce, Mackenzie Crook and Lee Arenberg who all reprised their roles from the first film, as Norrington, Governor Weatherby Swann, Ragetti and Pintel respectively.
Bill Nighy is also added to the line-up as the fearsome, tentacle-faced Davy Jones (he was best known for his role as Viktor in Underworld)
Our basic plot is revolved around Bloom and Knightly facing the gallows for ...
