Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
It’s been a while since I’ve looked forward to seeing a film, but I just couldn’t help it with POTC2. I even watched the original again over the weekend just so that I was limbered up properly! (All the necessary background bits are explained quite early on in the second film, but I still think it helped having the first story and characters fresh in my mind) Anyway…
Is it any good? Yup. Arrrr, it’s absolutely crackin’ m’hearties!
It’s two and half hours long though, so be prepared. But… I would’ve happily sat through another half hour. The special effects are great, there’s a few good comedy moments, a helluvalotta action (top drawer Bruickheimer stuff) and quite a complicated plot.
I didn’t know at the time, but apparently there’s an extra scene after the end credits have rolled… so stick around. Hopefully catch that if/when I watch it again! Then, roll on Summer ‘07!
….and Keira Knightley. Goooood mornin’! 9/10
Oh, it’s also not all that long to go until National Talk Like a Pirate Day… “Arrrr, Jim lad!”
Superman Returns next. Hmmm, not looking forward to that quite as much!!
