Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 Rating :
***** **½ (out of
10*)
If you liked
POTC1, you'll like this sequel. Same humor, same action, same characters. Plus a couple new ones - Davey Jones, Will's father, a voodoo queen, etc. There's a couple of new protagonists - the English commander chasing Jack Sparrow is more evil, and less humorous. There's too much sailing back and forth, but that was true of
POTC1 as well.
So what's not to like? Well, essentially there's no plot and no conclusion. This movie exists to force you to go see
POTC3, presumably next year. There is absolutely nothing resolved here. Still, you get your money's worth, both in entertainment, and sheer length of the film. And the popcorn was good, too.
