PotC: Dead Man's Chest spoiler thread

[Hand of Evil]

It's a pirates life for me! Wonderful plot, fantastic dialog, and excellent scenes and action, that aptured the swashbucking movies of the past.

All during the movie I was thinking that the dirt was for Davey Jones to set foot on, just how where they going to get it done. Quite the slieight of hand that!

I found this a big disappointment - though it seems like I'm the only one. I really loved the first, but this just didn't come anywhere near. I think perhaps because it was played too much for laughs and because of the way the plot was contorted to get as many characters from the first back as possible. I also think the tone also seemed completely off and variable - sometimes it was very comical, other times very dark, other times as swashbucklery as the original.

Does anyone think it compares well with the first? What did Jack do? The coffin at the beginning, the escape from the cannibals, the fight at the end - and that's it... Just compare it with the first where he's much more 'heroic'. Sorry, but I thought they dropped the ball...

"You will always remember this as the day that you almost cooked Captain Jack Sparrow!"

Was it too obvious? Was that the reason they didn't use it?

While very entertaining, Jack is a selfish bastard, this movie just had chance to show it better than the first.

I really enjoyed it. Lots of fun. Great dialogue. Smart plotting. Decent characterizations and development. Great CGI. Superb ending. 9 out of 10 for a first watch.

For my part, I think this was superior to the first film.

Also, since the mouth of the kraken reminded me of the sarlac from Return of the Jedi, here is how I think Jack will survivie:

Jack will meet up with Bobba Fett and they fight they're way out, Bobba Fett then helps jack and the others take out Davey Jones with his armor and weapons.

Glad I'm not the only one ^^

It would be pretty funny if he runs across Pinocchio and Gepetto inside the Kraken (I know, they were swallowed by Monstro the Whale, but still...)

Ok, wait a sec, the pirate at the end of the movie was the villain from the first movie? It has been so long since I saw the first movie I have forgotten what he looked like.

 

[Servitor of Wrath]

That is indeed Barbossa.

I was fairly unimpressed with the first movie and came into this one with less expectations. That left me less dissapointed, but I was fidgeting in my seat, wondering if it was going to ever end before the second hour was up. The fight in/on the wheel, while quite silly, was interesting. Thank God for Kiera Knightly or it would have been nap time.
