Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) by James C — 04 Dec 2013

Captain Jack Sparrow and his companions return as they search for the key and the chest that will bring to an end the debt owed to Davy Jones.

The second entry in the Pirates franchise and like Star Wars it goes to prove that when it is done right, a sequel can actually be better than the original. The story is just as fantastic and comical as it's predecessor, but the addition of the dark feel brought by the wonderful Davy Jones character (masterfully voiced by the great Bill Nighy) makes a much more rounded movie. The characters are just as good, and the acting is just as first rate as before, and in certain actor's cases, nowhere as wooden. All in all this is a fine sequel that tops it's predecessor in every way, and shows how good a pirate film can really be.
