The highly-anticipated sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl came out this weekend, so of course I went to see it. It was actually very good, on par with the original save for a few pacing issues. I’d certainly recommend it to just about anyone on the planet.

You can check out my full review right here.

The previous film, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, was in many ways the quintessential pirate-movie; working in all the clichés and expectations of a pirate-theme but wrapping them around an engaging plot with magnificent actors, inspired directing, near-flawless special effects and Johnny Depp. Well, expect more of the same with this installment. Dead Man’s Chest takes all the pirate elements and clichés left out of the last film, breathes new life into them and turns them into movie-gold. Who would’ve thought the lead singer of the Monkees could be so badass?
