Movie Reviews of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: A Great Second Installment!
Summary: 5 Stars

I'll be up front. I don't watch these pirate films to follow the story. In fact,
I'm not even sure what the ongoing story entails. Something about a
compass and a chest with a heart in it and.....anyway, I own all three of
these films for the sheer pleasure of watching the gritty, colorful,
amazing characters jostle and run through their escapades. Not one actor
is miscast or out of place, which is rare nowadays in film. In this particular
installment, the best scenes for me take place in the jungle amongst
cannibals, providing for some amazing stunts and light-hearted comic relief.
Be sure to wait until all the credits have rolled! At the end of the credits,
you get to see what happened to the dog! Priceless!

Summary of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest [Blu-ray]

Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the strong suit of the franchise, as the film excels during its stunt pieces, which are impressively extravagant (in particular a three-way swordfight atop a mill wheel). It may help to know that Dead Man's Chest was filmed simultaneously with some of Pirates 3, so don't expect a complete resolution (think more The Empire Strikes Back) or the movie will feel a lot longer than it really is.

Bloom shows a tad bit more brawn this time around, but he's still every bit as pretty as the tomboyish Knightley. (Seriously, sometimes you think they could swap roles.) Bill Nighy (Love, Actually) weighs in as Davy Jones and Stellan Skarsg?rd appears as Will's undead father. But the film still belongs wholly to Depp, who in a reprise of his Oscar-nominated role gets all the belly laughs with a single widened eyeliner-ed gaze. He still runs like a cartoon hen and slurs like Keith Richards--and he's still one of the most fascinating movie characters in recent history. --Ellen A. Kim
