Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

Is the sequel worth 8$ ? No.

As with all movies the original stands out. I wonder if it is possible to apply this analogy to first love. I digress.

Jack Sparrow is back with his shallow values and effeminate mannerisms. It felt like Depp went back and watched himself over and over again in "curse of black pearl", so much that we are subjected to an overdose of Sparrow's lisping savvy.

The story is unclear and whatever plot the Disney folks cooked up is explained in strange accents, so much that the audience feel guilty that they are not smart enough to follow what is going on. Idiots.

It is like a run-of-the-mill Bollywood movie. Instead of expensive songs we have stunning graphics and visuals which are quite disgusting thanks to the details! I am truly not a fan of icky monsters.

Keira's cheek bones seems more prominent. Someone get her to eat. Orlando Bloom is bland as can be. There is no chemistry between the two. And then we have a twisted romantic angle, Depp & Keira ? Maybe a setup for the trilogy ending. Whatever.

If you have nothing better to do then go read a book. Not see the movie.
