How do you rate "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest"?

8 - Not as good as the first in terms of fun, but better in most other areas. I especially enjoyed the Keira Knightly and Johnny Depp scenes, which were a lot better done than any of the Knightly/Orlando Bloom scenes - although I do think Bloom was better in this one than COTBP.

Barbossa is back

PS. What would be the odds on a prequal film showing how Jack got the Black Pearl from Jones, and the mutiny and other stuff like that.

 

I gave it a ten. It was just as good as I was hoping.

 

Six - it was okay, not as good as the first one.

 

9- I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the third!

 

It was ok at best, But that tease of an ending made me mad

 

7

I have a thingy with sequels. I always think bad of them
But 'Dead Man's Chest' was quite good. I mean, if you want to see good comedy and entertainment then this is the movie
But if you have gone to cinema for angst filled drama and tragedy then I believe you have bought ticket to wrong movie.

Oh and yeah, the ending was frustrating

 

6 - Convoluted for the sake of being convoluted, but it was funny enough and had enough action to make it enjoyable. Not nearly as good as the original though.

 

9 it's really good

 

Cute but messy. I gave it a 6

 

8 - Solid summer movie, not as great as the original, but still solid.

 

10

I loved it. The first time I saw it was a truly orgasmic experience.

Aside from the sort of slow beggining, that is

 

9

I thought it was good. It took awhile to get into it, and even then jumped around the park a bit, but I still enjoyed it immensely.

Oh, and the kraken's graphics were a bit dodgy at times.

 

10 - This film is absolutely incredible!

captain jack is back.

 

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man?s Chest" was, for me, a clunky, incoherent, overproduced mess that managed not only to spoil the considerable grace and charm of Keira Knightley, but to submerge a properly amusing Johnny Depp performance beneath a sea of lumbering, repetitive excess. This is a bombastic, waterlogged spectacle populated with characters whose motivations are unnecessarily ambiguous, fastened to a narrative so overstuffed with incident that the film itself nearly threatens to capsize. And I haven?t even mentioned the running time, which is a wholly unnecessary 150-minutes+. POTC2 is as bad as "Half Nelson" is good, which is to say very.

3/10 (or D+)

Incidentally, I am among those who enjoyed the first film (which had flaws of its own, though none so severe), so this was a colossal disappointment.

10 - I loved it.

 

8.

It was good, but not quite as much as the first.

 

I back up my number 9 wholeheartedly after just seeing this film for the second time. It was awesome, I loved it even more.

 

8 - It was pretty cool but not as cool as the first movie.

 

6 or 7, I didn't much care for the first part of the movie, and the magical old lady or whatever she was wasn't necessary in my opinion. I also feel the film lacked the sort of gripping plot the first one possessed amd was slightly unorganized in a way.

 

I think "Ask a Ninja" gave the best review for this movie.

 

One. Frakkin' terrible, and I almost walked out. The first time you see Bootstrap is the only good scene in the film. I'm passing on the third one.

 

I would give Pirates an 8 out of 10.

 

4 out of 10

I thought it dragged for too long in several sequences, such as the whole thing with the cannibals and parts on Davy Jones' ship. I also felt Davy Jones did not work well as a bad guy.

What saved the movie for me was some of Norrington's scenes, the music and the humour.

 

I finally saw this movie, and was absolutely dismayed. It was something of an incoherent mess, and felt distinctly as if they were making it up as they went. It was entirely lacking the fun of the first movie, which was the main thing that made it so wonderful, and at times seemed a bit mean-spirited. Depp was no longer funny (I think they were writing the gags into the script this time around, which was certainly a mistake). And, at the very least, Elizabeth was totally out of character for much of the movie, and particularly toward the end. Plus, the move was too long by an incredible amount.

I thought when sequels were announced it might be a bad idea, and am now completely convinced of it. The first movie stood on its own beautifully, and sequels should never have been made. I'm just interested enough that I'll see the third (particularly as I like the Barbosa character, though I really wonder how they'll come up with an explanation that's not ridiculous and contrived).

It's visually incredible, and I'm amazed with what they did with Davy Jones (the scenes of him at the organ were gorgeous), and pretty impressed by the Kraken. But that's about all this movie did for me, and that does not a good movie make. I am utterly uninspired, and award it a 3/10.
