Holy crap. Words cannot express my excitement. It was a thrill ride.
The movie starts off very dark, and actually pretty violent. (You see an eyeball pecked out) Elizabeth Swann is sitting alone in the rain on her wedding day and is quickly arrested along with her groom-to-be by the new Lord Cutler Beckett. Thus we find Jack Sparrow back to his escaping ways. While on his latest mini adventure he retrieves a cloth with the shape of a key scribbled on it. But alas Jack has no heading...
The movie is long and worth every minute. There are a TON more stunts this time, cutting out a bunch of dialogue time. I think they may have gone over the top a bit with believability on the stunts, but it's still very, very fun to watch. The CGI was amazing at times (Davy Jones) but so-so at others (Opening title background). The story I think was better then the first one, much less repetitive. But it DOES end in a cliff hanger like the Matrix did unfortunately. However it is pulled off amazingly well and the end had everyone wanting more. I can guarantee you that.
Johnny Depp is wonderful as always, though I didn't find him as funny this time around. Jack Davenport is much better this time around and Keira Knightley is a bit less annoying. All the characters are good and in some cases better then the first one. The music took a noticeable hit but nothing worthy of crying over.
It's a wonderful movie and if you don't see it you'll be missing out. Plus I'll come beat you silly till you do.
9/10
