Synopsis: Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is caught up in another tangled web of supernatural intrigue. Although the curse of the Black Pearl has been lifted, an even more terrifying threat looms over its captain and scurvy crew: it turns out that Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), Ruler of the Ocean Depths, who captains the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth. Unless the ever-crafty Jack figures a cunning way out of this Faustian pact, he will be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation in the service of Jones. This startling development interrupts the wedding plans of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), who once again find themselves thrust into Jack's misadventures, leading to escalating confrontations with sea monsters, very unfriendly islanders, flamboyant soothsayer Tia Dalma (Naomi Harris) and even the mysterious appearance of Will's long-lost father, Bootstrap Bill (Stellan Skarsgard). Meanwhile, ruthless pirate hunter Lord Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander) of the East India Trading Company sets his sights on retrieving the fabled "Dead Man's Chest." According to legend, whoever possesses the Dead Man's Chest gains control of Davy Jones, and Beckett intends to use this awesome power to destroy every last Pirate of the Caribbean once and for all. For times are changing on the high seas, with businessmen and bureaucrats becoming the true pirates - and freewheeling, fun-loving buccaneers like Jack and his crew threatened with extinction.
My Review: I had to watch this one owing to the publicity online AND offline which was very well done. The ads, the hype, the MSN game, the email forwards and much much more majorly responsible. The movie was actually quite good, a typical Disney box office flick, which sports amazing special effects, cinematography & makeup. Add to that Johnny Depp's fabulous role as Captain Jack Sparrow & Keira Knightley's hot appearance on screen. This is one of those movies which you'll enjoy watching but won't be remembering in the next few weeks!
