adonis98-743-186503 Jack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well. This used to be my absolute favorite Pirates of the Caribbean movie but unfortunately some movies don't stay amazing for an eternity and even tho in terms of acting and special effects the movie was phenomenal the actual storyline was all over the place plus Jack's role was kinda disappointing to say the least and sure we're not talking about an absolute disaster of a sequel but it's unfortunately not as good as i once thought it was. (7.2/10)
hecoxjus Not one of my favorite Pirate movies. I feel like this one failed somewhat to live up to the legacy of the first. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie, and I really did enjoy it. The effects and music, once again, were phenomenal. But the plot wasn't spectacular.I think maybe it left way to much unexplained. For instance, the presence of Barbosa at the very end was rather confusing, and as the swamp witch lady's story had not yet been explained, just ended up being illogical until the third movie was made.Also, the characters were a bit... off. Jack Sparrow seems to have changed from a brave, sarcastic, yet kind hearted hero to a rapist and turncoat. He tries to hit on Elizabeth several times, and some of his talk was not really appropriate for young audiences. Also, when he betrayed William Turner to Davy Jones, I found myself wondering exactly what happened to him between movies.However, it still remains a truly enjoyable experience, and a movie well worth seeing, though watching the first movie is definitely required.
Thomas Drufke Sometimes it's really hard to see past a film's flaws. For whatever reason though, I really get a kick out of these Pirates adventures. Whether it be because I had fond memories of them when I was much younger, or because there just wasn't quite a spectacle like them in the mid-2000's, either way I still find Dead Man's Chest to be an admirable part of the franchise.I'm not sure there will ever be a Pirates film as good as the first one. There's nothing quite like that first adventure with Jack Sparrow, William Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. And Dead Man's Chest wastes no time trying to top the spectacle and scope of that film. However, when the story and characters are second fiddle to the set pieces and grand action sequences, that's where you have the problem. In many ways, this film only exists to set up the third film. Most of the story beats are drawn out in what could be only one film's worth of story, but we don't get the payoff for any of it until the 3rd adventure. That's not necessarily always a bad thing, but I would have preferred each film to stand on its own a little bit more.Although we don't get Geoffrey Rush's maniacal Captain Barbossa, we are treated with equally invested performances from Bill Nighy as Davy Jones and Stellan Skarsgard as Boostrap Bill. Jones', the main antagonist, is essentially a supernatural pirate with the ability to also control a large sea creature called, the Kraken. If you thought the original film takes advantage of the over-the-top side to the series, the second one doubles down. Luckily, Nighy is an absolute joy to watch on screen, thanks in large part due to the groundbreaking special effects of Jones & various other characters and creatures.Much like the first film, Dead Man's Chest is a bit overlong and has too many moving parts. It worked with the first film because the script, directing, and performances were all brilliant. I think some of the magic wore off here because you definitely feel the length. But there's no denying the entertainment value if you enjoyed the first outing. The ridiculousness continues to an island of indigenous people wanting Jack Sparrow and subsequently a dog to be their ruler, a wheel barrow sword fight that goes on for like 15 minutes, and one great cliffhanger. I know they're silly, but I always manage to have a blast re-watching them.+Doubles down on ridiculous action+Mind-blowing special effects+Cliffhanger-Lengthy & too goofy at times7.6/10
