Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (#2)

*IMDB.com
I saw this after much anticipation (and a lot of time in long lines). It was a good movie, entertaining enough, I guess, but I must say I was disappointed.

The special effects were amazing and the sword-fight scenes excellently choreographed. I liked that they developed Will Turner's character a little more in this film (what can I say, I have a bit of a crush on Orlando Bloom), and who could not like charming Jack Sparrow?

However, I also thought it was a bit too gory and a little... too... long... Maybe it was because it was late and I was tired, but I checked my watch three times throughout the movie! Never a good sign.

Don't get me wrong - I liked the movie alright - I just thought they were trying too hard. They tried to recreate everything good in the original and add to it, but it ended up being on the verge of ridiculous, and far too violent for a family film. Silly Rabbit, "Pirates" is NOT for kids!
