Jack Sparrow, make that Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), and Elizabeth Swan (Keira Knightley) team up again to search for a key and chest belonging to Davy Jones (Bill Nighy).
This movie was probably the one I was most looking forward to seeing this summer and it didn't disappoint. Despite an awkward beginning (most likely due to my expectation of the film), the rest was everything you want from a good piratey movie. Almost all of the old characters were back, many of whom switch roles, good, bad, sometimes it was hard to keep up. Lots of inside jokes stemming back to the last movie. Might want to refresh before seeing this one. Good story, good action, lots of humor, but beware that this is the second movie of three, so it has one killer of a cliffhanger ending. But breathe deeply knowing the next one is only one year away instead of three.
My favorite parts of the movie (just a few):
that the evil Beckett is played by Tom Hollander (Mr. Collins from Pride and Prejudice, poor Keira always has to deal with him ;)
what's happened to Commodore Norrington, Elizabeth Swan's former fiance
Elizabeth swordfighting
the undead monkey
the good/bad role switching
the cliffhanger ending
5 out of 5 stars
