Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest


3 out of 5 snowstones

After a ride on a rollercoaster is it normal to discuss the merits and drawbacks of the ride?
So why do people discuss "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" as if it's a serious, debatable motion picture? It's a pirate movie, based on a Walt Disney ride, for God's sake. Nobody takes pirates seriously. The makers of this movie don't. Johnny Depp sure as hell doesn't. And you also shouldn't.
The plot doesn't make any sense. Because it's a pirate movie. It's all action and no story. Because it's a pirate movie. It's good, silly fun. Because it's a pirate movie.
Sure, it's too long. Sure, it's not as funny as the first one. Sure, it's just milking the franchise. Who cares? If I wanted a short, hilarious, and original film, ...I wouldn't see many movies. Anyway, yohoho and a bottle of rum, and avast! ye scurvy scallywags. Or whatever.
