As Will (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) prepare to exchange vows at the altar, their wedding plans hit rough waters with the arrival of sea-bound scallywag Jack Sparrow. It seems that Sparrow owes a substantial

The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.
Top CriticIt ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.
This second film is pretty much all thrills, special effects and nonstop action -- but with virtually no cohesive or compelling story line.
'Complications arose, ensued, were overcome,' Jack says at one point. Not entirely, but Dead Man's Chest is worth weighing anchor for, regardless.
In every other way -- as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully sly and subtle actor -- it is not merely a loser. It is a disaster.
For the most part, Dead Man's Chest stands on its own and even makes a few halfhearted attempts to say something.
An action-packed but too-long flick for kids 12+.
The kind of sensory bombardment that replicates less a Disney theme-park ride than an extended stay at a Guantánamo base cell
Comfortably in the middle ground. It's not as bad as I've heard it described by many, yet, it's far from any resemblance to the masterpiece audiences have described it as.
Overblown to the point of monotony, the second installment in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise is a prime example of too much money and not enough story.
It's a pretty joyless ride, even with all the CGI wizardry a quarter of a billion bucks can buy.
[This sequel] takes what worked the first time and redoes it only bigger and louder - in the process losing all the charm that made the first film so much fun.
a good sequel
A patchy and overlong sequel but still full of humour and top-notch action.
This movie is the very definition of water torture.
As you'd expect from a sequel, everything that made the original interesting is amplified to within an inch of its life.
I had a ball watching the film as it careened from set piece to set piece, whether it be a chase scene, a sword fight or a battle on the seas.
Surpasses its predecessor in making entertainment out of nonsense.
Dead Man's Chest is simply something we've been missing most of this entire summer - a film that's truly alive.
No doubt will end up one of the most popular and successful sequels in cinema history, but like the small act that grows too big too soon, the initial enchantment has faded.
Just because you can do something does not mean you have to. Long and noisy is not enough.
Two and a half hours of cinematic slog.
Yes. Johnny Depp is again hilarious as Capt. Jack Sparrow. Yes. Keira Knightley is fetching in period duds. And, yes, Orlando Bloom is in fine swashbuckling form.
An empty vessel... bloated beyond all recognition, and [evidencing] absolutely no flow or consistency -- there's nary a human heartbeat here in its two-and-a-half-hour-plus running time.
In spite of its small shortcomings, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest deserves praise for being an old-fashioned popcorn movie that knows how to entertain.
Dead Man on arrival.
