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 ...

Hide The Rum Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVDby
Andy.mack
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, ...

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 ...

Eye Eye Captain Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVDby
albury123
Advantages: Excellent actors, storyline and stunts Disadvantages: Story doesnt end, need to wait for next sequel
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.

come back Jack Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVDby
xleafx
Advantages: How outstanding is that music, great fighting seens Disadvantages: not nearly as good as the first, a dissapointing ending,
A dissapointment from the first film. I felt the story line was dragged out quite a lot, and if, like me you need to know how it all ends, it comes with an incredibly irritating finish. I dont want to give it away for those who haven't watched it but seriously, if only i hadn't seen it in the cinema, i would definately suggest leaving this one until you can watch the third film almost immediately after.
It brought back the same cast with Orlando ...

good but not great Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVDby
rjw72
Advantages: Johnny Depp, great action Disadvantages: weaker story
...off i loved the first pirates film. i thought it was a perfect funny action film. Set in a time and a place you wish you could be apart of.
This film is more or less the same deal, johnny Depp is great (again) Orlando is fine as is Keira Knightley.
The Action is as fast and as over the top as the first film, with sea battles and sword fights a plenty. The Caribbien back drops are stunning.
but..... its just does not have the same magic film of ...

Advantages: Johnny Depp, its funny, good special effects Disadvantages: not a patch on the first film.
I rushed to the pictures to see this film, and liked it enough to buy the DVD - although my hubby has threatened divorce if I ever make him sit through it again.
I really like the film - Johnny Depp shines as the madcap Captain Jack Sparrow again, and looks divine whilst doing it!
The story is not as strong as the first movie, so prepare to be a little disappointed if you expect the same - although the special effects are just as mind blowing. ...

Arrghh Matey! Review ofPirates Of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest DVDby
31samuel31
Advantages: Great Story Line! =] Disadvantages: kiera Nightly
It seems pointless writing a reveiw for this becasue i will end up teling yo the whole story and it would ruin it for buyers. It is a great film though.
Personally i feel that a film with Johny Deep in it is going to be good. The role of Jack Sparrow is perfect for the guy!
The effects are brilliant especially on Davey Jones!
The film is complex and it pulls you right into it and really keeps you gripped! It may have a confusing story line ...
