Critics Consensus

Gone is Depp's unpredictability and much of the humor and originality of the first movie.

The result is an overproduced movie that tries so strenuously hard to be "fun" that it's a chore to sit through. For all its razzle-dazzle production values, the story itself feels cluttered, hard to follow and hard to care about

Dead Man's Chest is simply something we've been missing most of this entire summer - a film that's truly alive.

It's all a bit much, yes, a bit exhausting, that's true, but then why on Earth would anyone expect otherwise?

In the second film. calculated commercial interests, which are generally guaranteed to kill off genuine audience enthusiasm, have won out.

8/10

Although the previous film ended rather resolutely, there's no denying that the further tales of Jack Sparrow are significantly suitable affairs for cinematic realization.

A loose film, which certainly does not offer what it promises. [Full Review in Spanish]

Not Nearly as good as The Curse of the Black Pearl, still a ton of fun to be had. The three-way swordfight between Norrington, Jack Sparrow and Will Turner is probably my favorite scene from the entire franchise. It is peak madness and silliness and that's why I watch these films.

Dead Man's Chest is undeniably overstuffed, but its practical sets and bombastic action deliver enough swashbuckling heart to overcome a bloated runtime.

The best movie in the series, it has everything, pirates, the flying dutchman, crazy cannibalistic ingenuous tribes, and killing people!

Secondo me è estremamente sottovalutato. Non continuo a capire perché tutti lo giudichino così pesantemente. Certo, di fronte al primo primo non può che inchinarsi ma la sua follia e la sua scrittura stralunata rendono il film addirittura interessante e piacevole, si va per un terzo capitolo trash che abbandona ogni punto di forza della saga.

Such a boring movie, also leave out your logic for this one as it is mostly fantasy land and logic leaves you and the story is predictible and boring, too much going and you just lose interest 5/10 with a big heart

Not as good as the first one with less funny moments, what saves this sequel is the fun action scenes and the build up to the next movie. Still a fun and enjoyable movie, the cast kill it every scene.
