Amazon.co.uk Review
Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the strong suit of the franchise, as the film excels during its stunt pieces, which are impressively extravagant (in particular a three-way swordfight atop a mill wheel). It may help to know that Dead Man's Chest was filmed simultaneously with some of Pirates 3, so don't expect a complete resolution (think more The Empire Strikes Back) or the movie will feel a lot longer than it really is. Bloom shows a tad bit more brawn this time around, but he's still every bit as pretty as the tomboyish Knightley. (Seriously, sometimes you think they could swap roles.) Bill Nighy (Love, Actually) weighs in as Davy Jones and Stellan Skarsgård appears as Will's undead father. But the film still belongs wholly to Depp, who in a reprise of his Oscar-nominated role gets all the belly laughs with a single widened eyeliner-ed gaze. He still runs like a cartoon hen and slurs like Keith Richards--and he's still one of the most fascinating movie characters in recent history. --Ellen A. Kim

Synopsis
Shiver me timbers, Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp - CHARLIE & THE CHOLOLATE FACTORY, ED WOOD) returns in this rip-roaring, sea-faring sequel to the colossal hit, CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL. Reunited with Will Turner (Orlando Bloom - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, TROY) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley - PRIDE & PREJUDICE, DOMINO), Sparrow must face his greatest adversary yet – the nautically naughty Davey Jones (Bill Nighy – LOVE ACTUALLY, THE GIRL IN THE CAFE). Directed by Gore Verbinski (THE RING, MOUSE HUNT), DEAD MAN'S CHEST is every bit as exiting as it's predecessor and sets the scene for part three in the trilogy, AT WORLDS END.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first,, 25 Dec 2006
but still very entertaining with quite a few laugh out loud moments. Depp is on top form as usual. One of the better films of 2006 and I'll be watching the next installment of Pirates.

3.0 out of 5 stars Let Down, 11 Dec 2006
By J. Newland (Herts, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After much waiting for the release of the Dead Mans Chest, I went out and purchased before viewing.

I felt let down by the sequel. The first I have watched over and over again but the second just does not have the same appeal to me.

Yes it does have a few funny moments "Paprika seasoning".

Captain Jack Sparrow steals the show as before but I truly think Miss Elizabeth Swan needs her arse kicked - could she get anymore annoying?

Will the third installment be better than the second - I hope!

3.0 out of 5 stars mmm... Johnny Depp, 22 Feb 2007
This film would be completely rubbish if it wasn't for Johnny Depp. Orlando Bloom is incredibly annoying. Both him and Keira Knightley gave quite wooden performances. The storyline was a bit strange (kracken, Davy Jones and fishmen) and the film seemed to be saying "watch the third film!! Watch the film and earn us lots of money!!!). The first part was good, when they were captured by natives (mainly because of Johnny Depp's amazingly hilarious runnung style as he is chased by his captors), but then it just got very weird.
Every scene improved as soon as Depp appeared. Without him, the film would completely flat.
Bill Nighy was good too(as Davy Jones) but the rest, well...
