Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

Don't know how good a sequel will be... The only sequel I have ever seen which was better than the original movie was Terminator 2.

I am expecting either a repeat of the first movie with different dialogue or something ridiculous and overpowered by special effects in order to gain an audience...

Sorry guys, the first movie was great - but like a lot of you have said "What on earth could the second one be about?"
 
I don't care...As long as Captain Jack and his one-liners get enough screen time, I'm a happy camper :D

Joking, of course, but from what I've managed to catch, there's an old bargain Sparrow made with Davy Jones, and he needs Will and Elizabeth's help to sort it out, of course, in the middle of their wedding plans...Interesting enough premise, we'll have to wait and see what they do with it though
 
I don't care either what storyline they cook up as long as I can enjoy watching Depp and Bloom strut their stuff again :D
 
From what I've heard, not only does POTC2 have Keith Richards in it(veery iinteresting!), it is being filmed in the Dominican Republic and much to the Dominican's dismay has some sort of cannibalism included in the plot.
 
Davy Jones?

Davy Jone's locker is the sea... and Davy Jones himself isn't real. I hope it doesn't have a ridiculous premise about Hemingway's old man of the sea lol

Well...Neither is the curse in the first movie if we're going to go into detail...gold that turns you into zombies?:D

dwndrgn, I'm not sure if they managed to get Richards, apparently he was asking for a looooooot of cash in order to appear in the film...:( :confused:

Yes, he certainly is. I was just curious is he was a method actor, like Daniel Day-Lewis.

Not like Daniel Day-Lewis, but certainly a method actor, although he may have defined this method from one movie to another. He's certainly more talented now than in 21, Jump Street.
 
Depp is one of the best actors out there.
He doesnt make too many bad movies and I find it funny he based Captain Jack on Keith Richards.
 
I don't care if the movie sucks or not (I doubt it will though it looks exciting). I'll be seeing it just so I can see Johnny Depp's face plastered across a wall in a theatre. He's hot to be in his 40's!
 
I really liked the first half of the first one so I will give this one a try. I hope this one doesn't get too disney.
 
I saw this last night. Overall, a pretty entertaining popcorn movie. Doesn't quite match the first one, of course, but still it's a fun ride. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

I agree with Culhwch... two thumbs up but the first one is still the best.

What I love most about the movie is they used all the original cast from the first movie...
 
I saw it on Thursday and enjoyed it.
My one niggle with this movie is that it's definitely a middle of a trilogy and doesn't stand very well on it's own, although it's a fairly decent cliffhanger ending.

This movie is much more about Jack Sparrow than the Will Turner/Elizabeth Swann love story which dominated the 1st movie. I liked Bill Nighy's performance (kind of an evil Captain Nemo) and the special effects for the crew were good.
Looking forward to the conclusion... :)
 
***********Possible Spoilers***************













Well I saw it this weekend too. I was disappointed with almost the whole thing. Sure it was entertaining and they clearly worked a great deal on the effects, but the acting was overdone (even, *gasp* love-of-my-life Johnny Depp) for the most part and some of the details were just plain sloppy.

The effects on Jones' crew was overdone as well - I would have thought it would be more effective to have more of the crew more human-like (quite like Bootstrap with stages of advancement).

The voodoo woman's teeth went from black to white to black again...(yes, very nitpicky but when they go to a great deal to get you to notice that she's got little knowledge of what a toothbrush is, you'd think they'd keep it consistent).

Next part definitely is a spoiler, I will change the text to white so you'll have to highlight it to see it.




Bringing back Barbosa, while not completely unprecedented, seemed like a copout. I did like the fact that the Monkey sort of foreshadowed this all throughout the movie - though the fact that the curse wasn't reversed on him was nonsensical. I found the beginning sequences too dark compared to the rest of the movie. I disliked the fact that almost everything happened just as it needed to in all ways...deux ex machina?

There was never any explanation as to why the two crewmen ("Here Poppet") were jailed nor how they were released - they seemed a tacked-on element.

Jack's 'Keith Richards' walk turned into a mincing, prancing sort of thing done by people trying to mock gays. In the first movie, he staggered but still with a testosterone-ish swaggar.

Jack's being swallowed by the kraken was fine for the story, though he stood there posing with is sword ready to strike as if he was waiting for the director to yell "action!".

There are other things that bothered me, but I'll leave it at this and let someone else do the talking.
 
Ouch Dwndrgn...

The movie did lack something... Enjoyed it still the same, but I felt like WS did... And that sums it up for me...

My one niggle with this movie is that it's definitely a middle of a trilogy and doesn't stand very well on it's own, although it's a fairly decent cliffhanger ending.

I didn't notice the teeth of the witch though. Although I did want to hand her a toothbrush several times. Did anyone else have a hard time understanding her?
