Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Definitely a must see! A great sequal to *The Curse of the Black Pearl* !!As expected, Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp gave a stellar performance. Especially Johnny Depp. The way he walks, talks, his facial expressions, everything is just great!
The movie was incredibly funny with many great action scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I can't wait until the next movie is released.
The ending leaves you hanging, wanting to know what will happen next. But although it's "incomplete," you will still feel there was some closure in this sequal. The plot moves along very nicely and you are left satiated just enough at the end, but still thirsty for more.
Spoiler Alert!
I was a bit shocked at the end when William Turner (Orlando Bloom) decided to help bring back Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), even after Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) had kissed him! I guess we'll have to wait and see why. William Turner deserves better than that (i.e., me)!!
I absolutely loved when William Turner and other crew members of the Black Pearl were stuck in those hanging cages and were swinging back and forth, and also the scene when William Turner, Jack Sparrow and the other guy whose name I can't remember were all fighting for the key. That was great.
Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!

I did like this movie, but not quite as much as the first. The first 30mins or so seemed a bit muddled. The dialog overall seemed a bit unclear at times. And the movie as a whole can't stand on its own. Its really a 2.5hr filler/setup for the 3rd movie.
That said, I did find the special effects to be great. It was really funny at times. The swordfighting scene on the wheel (3rd guy was commander norrington) was awesome. And yeah, I want to watch the movie again b/c I think I would enjoy it more the 2nd time.
Well, yes, it's the 2nd movie, so of course it was a set-up for the 3rd. But I still felt it had a story and I still felt a bit satisfied at the end. But I do agree, that it cannot stand on its own. Of course not!
But I wouldn't mind seeing it again. It was quite enjoyable. And yes, also agree about the dialogue, at times.
Thank you for stopping by! :) Hope you will return, hehe
Well as a 2nd movie sure you can set-up for the 3rd but there is no reason it can't stand on its own as well.
If you look at each movie in the:
Back to the Future
Star Wars
Godfather
Die Hard
Indinna Jones
etc trilogies they were all able to full stories in their own right.
As a setup it worked well though, I want more pirates! hehe :)
I haven't seen the Godfather movies *hijabi* I know, I know... It's on my list!! InshAllah when I am all alone in Indiana, I will sit down and deveote an entire day to The Godfather trilogy!
I also haven't seen any Star Wars movies...

Yep, I'll be back regularly. I like following blogs that actually update. And yours is interesting enough to read as well :)
And yeah i have the same problem with lack of commenters. Well actually, most ppl msg me and talk to me directly about my blogs. But its nice to have comments right there too. I think it encourages others to comment. I don't know.
