This movie is every bit as good as the first, if not better. The old characters are just as you remember them (with some changes in fortune for a couple), the new characters are wonderfully colorful and memorable, and the bad guys are delightfully evil and cunning. I loved the plot, I loved the way it played out. Jokes and snappy one-liners abound, just as witty as in the first. And, once again, Captain Jack Sparrow has one of the best introductions in movie history. The special effects were very good and everything looked realistic. The sword work was excellent, the fights both suspenseful and entertaining. And, there's a wonderful surprise at the end. If you want a movie that will make you think, this isn't really it. But, if you want a fun, entertaining movie that will take you away from reality for a little while, this is definitely the one for you. It's a great ride, and great fun !

It is always hard to compete with an original film, yet the second installment is fantastic. It doesn't quite emulate the original but it has lots of action and is full of enjoyment. It is a nice film to pass a couple of hours in the evening and I would probably grade it as about average. Basic cast/plot - Captain Jack Sparrow returns in this rip-roaring, sea-faring sequel to the colossal hit, CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. Reunited with Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, Sparrow must face his greatest adversary yet - the nautically naughty Davey Jones. Directed by Gore Verbinski, DEAD MAN'S CHEST is every bit as exiting as it's predecessor and sets the scene for part three in the trilogy, AT WORLDS END
