(read more) 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 scurvy 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.

Still, it's fantastic to look at, the amazing special effects and CGI. Still funny and somewhat darker than the first. Though Depp is once again outstanding as Captain Jack Sparrow for me it was Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, with the brilliant CGI mask make up, he was perefct for the role. Nice twist at the end though.
The worst of the 3 but yet still beast. A little too much fantasy action though..
Great movie and hilarious too! Never thought I would like Pirates of the Carribean because it is an action movie but it proved me wrong!
not as astonishing as the first but greater, settled, awesome movie, johnny Depp!!(seen twice)
Depp is like crazy good at acting, dint really watch movies with him but he is really good.
The best caribbean movie ,very funny and johny depp's performance in these parts is brilliant .Also The sound tracks are magnificent.
The best of all the pirate movies so far, with awesome CGI, funnier than the first and amazing stunts. Depp is even better in this one and shows more of Sparrow's dark side. There is also an epic three way duel that is jaw dropping!
Critic Reviews
The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.full review
Spending time with this motley crew is probably the best reason there is to set sail for a multiplex all summer.full review
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 doing so.full review
Calling a summer movie 'action-packed' is supposed to be a compliment, but there's nothing so tedious as nonstop excitement.full review
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.
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
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
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
A goofball riff on the pirate-movie genre, this sequel is as insubstantial as popcorn -- and as delicious.full review
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
