Storyline

Once again we're plunged into the world of sword fights and "savvy" pirates. Captain Jack Sparrow is reminded he owes a debt to Davy Jones, who captains the flying Dutchman, a ghostly ship, with a crew from hell. Facing the "locker" Jack must find the heart of Davy Jones but to save himself he must get the help of quick-witted Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. If that's not complicated enough, Will and Elizabeth are sentenced to hang, unless Will can get Lord Cutler Beckett Jack's compass. Will is forced to join another crazy adventure with Jack.

Trivia

The Pelegostos are convinced Jack is a god bound in human form, and want to release him. As it turns out, their idea isn't that far-fetched... When Will is looking for Jack, the last man he speaks to talks about an island where he's seen a marooned ship with black sails, at which he trades for 'long pork'. 'Long pork' being a euphemism for human flesh (although it's left up in the air whether Will would know that.)

Goofs

(at around 1h 50 mins) During the fight scene over the key, when Jack is inside the wheel he gets hit by a pole which causes him to fall out. Moments later, he gets back in the wheel and there is no longer a pole.

User Reviews

A wonderful film

I just came out of the movie 30 minutes ago (as it was released a day before America over here).

The movie is visually stunning - the CGI is top rate and you won't spend the whole film groaning about how fake things appear on the screen.

Acting was brilliant. Johnny Depp once again proves why he's the only man alive who can play the role of Cap. Jack Sparrow. There's a great number of returning characters from the first film - including a couple I was very happy to see again.

My only fault was perhaps that this film lack a certain 'heart' that the first film had, which I believe came because the first film was something very different, which of course this film couldn't contend with.

That aside, you will hardly notice it. There's a good plot, wonderful sets, great acting and plenty of laughs. One of the best films I've seen all year thus far - can't wait for the 3rd one!
