Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a pinch of 20000 leagues under the sea, and plenty of rum. Shake well and you have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, bombastic follow-up, which is fun, until you think too much about it. The film opens interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both arrested in the food to escape Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), the first film. Freedom is not just about getting Captain Jack's compass, which is associated with a key, which is related to the chest of Davy Jones, the undead pirate face tentacle and in possession of many people's souls. If you are already confused, do not worry - plot is really a franchise strength, which the film excels during the stunt pieces, which are spectacularly unreasonable (in particular, three sword fight by turning the top of the wheel of the mill).
It may be useful to know that the Dead Man's Chest was filmed simultaneously with some of Pirates 3, so do not expect a complete resolution (think more The Empire Strikes Back) or the film feels a lot longer than it actually .
Bloom shows a tad bit more robust this time, but still as pretty as the tomboyish Knightley. (Seriously, sometimes you think you could switch roles.) Bill Nighy (Love Actually) weighs Davy Jones and Stellan Skarsgård appears as the father of Will's undead. But the film still belongs wholly to Depp, who in a revival of Oscar-nominated role gets all the laughs with a single widened eyeliner-ed gaze. Still runs like a cartoon hen and slurs like Keith Richards - and remains one of the characters in the film the most fascinating recent history.
