User Review

Captivating

Rating: 10/10


As a sequel, it had much to live up to the glory of the first film, and
personally, I thought it had done rather well. The special effects on
Bill Nighy (Davey Jones) and his pirate crew was perhaps the best; it
was very realistic. The movie had a bit of a slow start, but overall
was a wonderful film. Johnny Depp did well in his portrayal of Captain
Jack Sparrow, as previously in the first film. Keira Knightley and Bill
Nighy were also of mentionable performances. I thought Orlando Bloom
was a little wooden, as I thought of his performance in the first film,
but still believable and he managed to pull it off. The ending which
was rather interesting, served its purpose in suspense. It left the
audience hanging, and it also left me hanging in a buzz of questions.
I'm extremely eager to see the next Pirates of Caribbean film. However,
the film did contain quite a number of references to the first film,
The Curse of the Black Pearl, and I advise you to recap your knowledge
of the first film and re-watch it to get the gist.

Overall, I believed the second Pirates of Carribbean was a rather good
film, and very successful in standards of sequels. I can't wait for the
third.
