Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

The result is an overproduced movie that tries so strenuously hard to be "fun" that it's a chore to sit through. For all its razzle-dazzle production values, the story itself feels cluttered, hard to follow and hard to care about

Dead Man's Chest is simply something we've been missing most of this entire summer - a film that's truly alive.

It's all a bit much, yes, a bit exhausting, that's true, but then why on Earth would anyone expect otherwise?

The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.

Lumpen direction, lousy writing and pouting performances aside, the worst thing about Dead Man's Chest is its interminable length.

It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.

In the second film. calculated commercial interests, which are generally guaranteed to kill off genuine audience enthusiasm, have won out.

Although the previous film ended rather resolutely, there's no denying that the further tales of Jack Sparrow are significantly suitable affairs for cinematic realization.

A loose film, which certainly does not offer what it promises. [Full Review in Spanish]
