As Will and Elizabeth prepare to exchange vows at the alter, their wedding plans hit rough waters with the arrival of sea-bound scallywag Jack Sparrow. It seems that Sparrow owes a substantial blood debt to half-octapus sea captain Davy Jones, and that the only way for the flamboyant sea rover to elude the wrath of his otherworldy pursuer is to seek the aid of mysterious and powerful Voodoo priestess Tia Dalma, whose ability to resurrect the dead and gaze into the future may provide just the advantage needed to avoid a waterlogged fate in the locker of his legendary nemesis.
This is an all-around great film. The special effects are superb, the props and costumes are outstanding, the dialog is well thought out and the acting is second to none. All of the great characters (and actors) from the first film are back for this one which is a huge plus. The story is very involved, complex and requires you to pay attention if you hope to follow what is going on. This complexity means you can watch it a second time and easily catch something you missed the first time around. The ending is frustrating - not because it's a bad ending, but because it's such a great cliffhanger that I can't wait until the third part of the trilogy to see how it all turns out.
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
