Review: Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest
Another long title for another long movie, but is it worth breaking the box office record for ? Comparing it to the first part, I’d say nay. The first being new and fresh, you really have to come up with something groundbreaking to make it stand out. This sequel clearly doesn’t. Moving away from character exploration, instead of elevating it to character development, it drops the stone so far it’s non-character specific story telling. The story itself is simple, though they try to make it appear more complicated than it is.
This all means the movie has to have it from the action and the jokes, and there are quite a few of those (including a few innovative action sequences). And all that makes it worthy of an average grade.7.
