Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest
Starring: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley Directed By: Gore Verbinski Rated PG-13 Synopsis: Will and Elizabeth are condemned to die for helping Captain Jack Sparrow. Will is offered a deal he really couldn't refuse. My thoughts: This movie was pretty good, but was suffering because it dragged a little. I have seen this movie twice thus far, still enjoy the movie, its just not as fantastic as it really should have been. Scorecard: Acting - There was no problem with the acting here. Not being a Johnny Depp fan myself, I had no problem with his overacting here. Stellan Skarsgard (Bootstrap Bill) did a very good job in his limited role. And then the person who stole the movie was Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, he did a fantastic job, and I was very impressed, while actually being completely computer generated, very interesting stuff. (1) Direction - This is where the movie hurt some. The cliffhanger ending, and the way it got there was slow and not very graceful. The direction really kind of took away from the whole movie. (1/2) Story - The story was well written, but the problem I had is the Jack Sparrow character had way too many one-liners, and that kind of hurt it. I really enjoyed the addition to Davy Jones, and was very well done. This movie was centered around Jack Sparrow, and it really shouldn't have been, that's what I really think took away from the movie some, but not really enough to hurt the rating. (1) Expectations - I loved the first movie. I didn't think that this one would live up to the hype it has generated. It was right about what I had expected. (1/2) Boring? - The first hour of the movie drags. It's really a shame too, because that's the least desirable place to have a movie drag, right from the get go. But once you get through that...it turns out to be a pretty exciting movie. (1/2) Final Score: 3 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: While this movie isn't the greatest movie I have seen over this summer. It was still all in good fun. It has made tons of money in the box office (and I think deservedly), Don't let the 3 1/2 star fool you, you should still go and see the movie, you wont be that disappointed.
