Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Bill Nighy, Jack Davenport, Johnny Depp

Captain Jack Sparrow 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 scur...( read more  read more... )vy 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. This startling development interrupts the wedding plans of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who once again find themselves thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to escalating confrontations with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer Tia Dalma and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost father, Bootstrap Bill. Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing on the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates--and freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his crew threatened with extinction.

    It's as every bit as fun as the first movie. Swashbuckling action, cliffhanger thrills & excitement, and ingenious humor. Everything you could want in a great Disney movie.

    An absolutely incrediable and spectacular action adventure comedy. Tremendously hilarious and astonishingly action-packed. Better than the first film. It brings the cool and fun and genious of the first. One of the best sequels in recent years. It stands with the Godfather part 2... ...( read more )

    The movie turned out to be as much fun as hoped. Starting out a little slow maybe it picked up pace steadily. The Jack-on-spit-scene, the rolling waterwheel fight, the kraken attack: all fantastic action sequences and spectacular eye candy with flawless special effects. The secon... ...( read more )

    I love this movie because Norrington was so damn smexy it was unbelievable. Thats not the only reason, they brought in Beckett who is just perfect at being a total pain. There was a good amount of ship and a good amount of land time going on too.

    Lord Cutler Beckett: "Freedom! Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking. The blank edges of the map filled in. Jack must find his place in the new world or perish."

    Picking up where the first movie left off, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan are to be married.... ...( read more )

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim

Spending time with this motley crew is probably the best reason there is to set sail for a multiplex all summer. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV

The filmmakers have done a wonderful thing here. They've expanded the story in vastly entertaining ways, conjuring up sights we've never seen onscreen before, and they've clearly had a lot of fun doin... full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Calling a summer movie 'action-packed' is supposed to be a compliment, but there's nothing so tedious as nonstop excitement. full review

July 6, 2006
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Although there are memorable bits and pieces, the new Pirates of the Caribbean is a movie with no particular interest in coherence, economy or feeling.

July 6, 2006
David Edelstein, New York Magazine

The director, Gore Verbinski, has grown more adept at Spielberg-style action, in which the fun is as much in the elegance of the staging as the stunts. full review

July 6, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

At two hours and 30 minutes, the story has its repetitive and wearisome passages, and the plot emerges only to bog things down, but for most of its length it positively dances with gusto. full review

July 6, 2006
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's the triumphant rogue in Depp that keeps this pirate ship afloat and actually makes the third voyage (coming next summer) a trip worth booking. full review

July 6, 2006
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A goofball riff on the pirate-movie genre, this sequel is as insubstantial as popcorn -- and as delicious. full review

July 6, 2006
Claudia Puig, USA Today

It does deliver a combustible combination of ingredients for a summer blockbuster: a cornucopia of action and dazzling effects, some raucous humor and a large dose of Depp's winning charm. full review
