Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Take 2… Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow once again and I couldn’t be happier! This is what I call entertainment. It isn’t like this was Oscar-material or anything, but I do enjoy going to the movies to be entertained for 2 hours (okay, 2 ½, but who is counting).
This movie was a great escape – a chance to hang up your real life in exchange for a reel one. The sword fights were thrilling and the special effects were amazing. The Davy Jones crew, led by Bill Nighy was an incredible addition (thank god he will be in Part 3 - Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End)!
The best part about this movie was that it wasn’t trying to be the first movie – this was a whole new adventure with some of the best aspects of the first. I would have to say that what truly made this movie was the way in which they left us hanging for the next one – wanting more. With an excellent and completely unexpected character showing up at the end, they threw me for a loop! Damn them for making me wait until next Memorial Day!
If you enjoyed Johnny as Jack, you will enjoy this movie. Also, watching Orlando Bloom actually contribute something that wasn’t annoying this time around, was also a treat…it didn’t hurt that his shirt was ripped off him either!
