About me:

Hey, If there's one thing I hate it's going somewhere or spending money on something that turns out ...

I was expecting great things from the latest addition to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise however, I have to say I was left feeling a little disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, Johnny Depp is still very entertaining as the happless and completely amoral Jack Sparrow, Keira Knightely still looks beautiful and Orlando Bloom has grown in confidence since his last outing as Will Turner, it's just there is nothing new.

Where the previous film entertained with its originality, Depp's quirky, often hillarious performance as the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow was now 'old hat' and he seemed at times to verge on just being silly rather than clever.

Nevertheless, if you are looked for a film that combines swashbuckling action, good humour and monstrous sea creatures and if you loved the last 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film then you'll undoubtedly enjoy this too.

Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan's wedding is cruelly interupted when they are both arrested and face the gallows for aiding Jack's Sparrow's escape from Port Royal. In order to save their necks Will embarks on a voyage to track down Captain Jack and bring back his supposedly useless compass. Jack meanwhile is facing a far more frightening threat than the East India Trading Company, he owes the legendary Davy Jones a blood debt - and Davy Jones is out to exact payment!! What happens? Well you'll need to watch to find that one out.

As well as the main feature DVD there is also a second disc which offers over five hours of bonus features from 'Creating the Kraken' to 'Bloopers of the Carribean'. The film itself is rated 12, so is suitable for most of the family and runs for 145 mins approximately.

Prices vary from store to store but you should be able to pick up a copy for around £10 at the moment - any more than that and you are being ripped off.

So to conclude - not quite as good as the 1st one but definitely worth a watch!

good review, gave a basic plot outline and some of the dvd info, but isnt this under the wrong section? i thought this was for Curse of the black pearl.

I reckon Jack Davenport steals this film from the Deppster... that puts me in a minority, but I stand by my statement.
