[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 patchy and overlong sequel but still full of humour and top-notch action.

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.

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.

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.

With dashing heroes, swashbuckling damsels, vile villains and enough plot for two films, Dead Man's Chest is worth digging up.

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.
08/31/06
It's a bloated, unstructured, overly long conquest of style over substance. Yet it can't be faulted for its effort to give its fans a booty of eye-candy, dashing action sequences, and enough tongue-in-cheek humor to make even cynics smile.

Fantasía desbordante que saciará los apetitos visuales más exigentes.
08/11/06
I'd give a much stronger recommendation for going back and watching "Curse of the Black Pearl" again.
