Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Mans Chest

Just saw it 4 hours ago. I personally liked the first better.

In terms of plot, it was good. Okay, so the new characters aren't exactly original. That was a slight gripe of mine. What was really interesting was the last 15 minutes. Oh my. That made the plot on par with Curse of the Black Pearl.

Depp played his character nicely. He was still comical, but unfortunately not as witty as in CotBP.

The soundtrack was awesome, definitely better than CotBP's by a mile (some of the music WAS from the first, though).

I loved the CG. It was awesome. `Nuff said there.

The fighting wasn't all that good compared to CotBP. One of the few swordfights was pretty interesting but I personally liked the ones in the first. Naval battles were a bit lacking. None of them were really ship-on-ship action, which I would of loved to see some of. Still, if you want good action, I prefer CotBP because Dead Man's Chest's action wasn't as good.

So yes, this movie is worth watching, especially if you're a fan of the first. No, it's not better than CotBP.

They say in a trilogy that the middle is always the worst. Hopefully this stays true for Pirates of the Carribean =/
