Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Jack Sparrow must seize the fabled 'Dead Man's Chest' in order to cheat death and eternal damnation. He is caught up in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones.

An action-packed but too-long flick for kids 12+.April 29, 2009
Feels like two movies: one good, one pretty pointless, neither of which is worth the hype.July 07, 2006
This second film is pretty much all thrills, special effects and nonstop action -- but with virtually no cohesive or compelling story line.August 07, 2008
It's a pretty joyless ride, even with all the CGI wizardry a quarter of a billion bucks can buy.July 07, 2006
In every other way -- as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully sly and subtle actor -- it is not merely a loser. It is a disaster.July 08, 2006
It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.July 07, 2006
For the most part, Dead Man's Chest stands on its own and even makes a few halfhearted attempts to say something.July 07, 2006
'Complications arose, ensued, were overcome,' Jack says at one point. Not entirely, but Dead Man's Chest is worth weighing anchor for, regardless.August 30, 2009
The kind of sensory bombardment that replicates less a Disney theme-park ride than an extended stay at a Guantánamo base cellJuly 07, 2008
[This sequel] takes what worked the first time and redoes it only bigger and louder - in the process losing all the charm that made the first film so much fun.July 17, 2006
The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.April 23, 2009
Overblown to the point of monotony, the second installment in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise is a prime example of too much money and not enough story.
