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

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it or hate it film, 9 Oct 2006
By M. Wright "Postal_Dude" (York, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Love it or hate it" is the perfect way to describe this film. There are some people who love it and think it's just as good, if not better than the original. Then there are those who think its too long, plot is seriously flawed and has no point, the ending is silly, jd has too many of the same jokes and it's too dark.

I think I was one of the only people who thought the original pirates wasn't as good as everyone made it out to be. It was a good film, but it could have been so much better, so I was a little apprehensive when I got a ticket to see this in the cinema. Would I be bored like the first one but for much longer?

No! I loved this film! I think this fixed all the little nags I had about the first film! I even went and brought the first one so when this comes out I can FULLY appreciate its greatness! As for some of the criticisms people have made about it, I can sort of see where their coming from. I mean, yes it is dark, yes it is long, yes the ending isn't really an ending (more like a one year interval before the 3rd on comes out) and yes jd does have the same sort of jokes. But I was gripped throughout the movie.

I honestly didn't realize that a few hours had pasted when the end credits started to roll, I suppose how long you think it is depends on whether you enjoy it, so ignore anyone who says it's too long :P

yes it is darker, MUCH darker than the original. But unless you're planning on making your 2 year old son/daughter watch it, I think the darkness only adds to the film. It makes the film more credible, rather than a children's story, with three attractive actors in it to appeal to the older generation. Because the film is much longer (and the sequel coming next year) the plot will obviously have to be more complicated, otherwise people will moan about it being too boring a predicable. If you had trouble understanding the first film, you may need to watch this a few time to get it, but otherwise I don't see why anyone who stays awake can't follow this. And the endings great btw:) and just a side note about jd having too many same jokes.... isn't that why most people loved the original? Anyway...

I would recommend everyone watch this film. If not own it! In fact although most people who haven't seen this are a bit apprehensive about buying a DVD with such mixed reviews, I wouldn't recommend renting it... just buy it and see what you think, cause I'm sure most of you will love it! Just so long as you don't expect a carbon copy of the first one (which everyone would be moaning about if it was anyway!!!!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Cap't Jack Sparrow? I really would!!, 26 Sep 2006
By Michele (Medway, Kent) - See all my reviews
If you loved Captain Jack in 'The curse of the black pearl', you will love him in 'dead mans chest'! It might be a little darker, it might be a little longer! But at the end of the day, it is still as 'Pirates of the Caribbean' as we want it to be! Ignore all these reviews and just watch it. It is a brilliant sequel and up there with the best of sequels! I believe the triology (if thats where it stops?) will go down as one of the greats! Have a glass of wine (or beer) and just enjoy it for what it is ment to be...........just entertainment! And by golly, it entertained me!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad follow up, 19 Oct 2006
By S. Kirycos "chotti_99" (Cheltenham, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The original film was absolutely amazing. Depp was simply out of this world and the directing was well above par. This film I have to say is not as good as the first one. It still is however very enjoyable.

As with the first one the main attraction of the film is Jack Sparrow (Depp). He is still a typical loveable rogue. In this film he has to find the chest that contains the heart of the main bad guy, Davy Jones, so that he can control the beast that is chasing him. However lots of people want to get their hands on the chest so that they can control the beast for a number of reasons. And around this plot you get more sword fighting and more weird looking bad guys.

In this film i believe that they have gone over the top. In the original film the revelation that the bad guys were undead was pretty cool. Here the bad guys looking like fish and lobsters seems a bit laboured. Also the lack of Geoffrey Rush as the bad guy is notable. None the less the film still is very good.

The music score is again excellent and the effects and fight scenes are spectacular. The performances of Knightley and Bloom are not particularly impressive. Bill Nighy as Davy Jones is pretty good but nowhere near as good as Rush in the first film. Again it is Depp who steals the show and its just aswell. The humour in the film is clever and will be enjoyed by all.

All in all i'd say that although not as good as the first film this is a pretty descent sequel. I reckon that the third sequel will be better. The reurn of Geoffrey Rush is a good sign. There are also rumours that Keith Richards (Rolling Stones and the man that Depp based his weird movements in the film on) will make an appearance as Sparrow's father. Hope they are true!!!!
