Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

So after the big hit with the first Pirates movie, Disney decided to make more. And the amount of people always say that the sequels are not very good and, yeah. Even though I do like the sequels a little, I can't deny the fact that the sequels aren't very good. What's the story? It starts with Jack escaping a jail in a coffin and makes it back to the Black Pearl. It turns out he stole a picture of a key on it. He shows his crew and they decide to go find it. Will and Elizabeth on the other hand are in Port Royal and are placed under arrest by some guy named "Becket" for helping Jack in the last movie. Becket and Will talk and he tells Will that if he brings him Jack's compass to him, he'll release him and Elizabeth. So Will sets off to try and find Jack and ask for the compass. That night Jack meets Will's father on the Black Pearl and he tells Jack that "Davy Jones" is after him because he raised the Black Pearl from the depth of the sea for Jack and in exchange Jack would do something for him. But it's been over 15 years and he hasn't done it so now Davy Jones is going to try to use a creature call the Kraken to drag the Black Pearl down again with Jack on it. Jack then has his crew land the ship somewhere. In the next few days Will goes to an Island and finds a bunch of natives and Jack who's now their leader. Will is put in a cage with Gibbs and the other crew members and apparently the natives are planning on eating Jack. So Jack tries to escape, which I really don't get. And by that I mean, how does he know they're going to eat him? Anyway, they eventually escape and try to find a woman named Tia Dalma. She explains that the key Jack is looking for actually unlocks a chest and inside the chest is Davy Jones' heart. He cut it out and put in there. Apparently he was given the duty of guarding the souls of the dead but he left so he could be with Tia Dalma but when he came back, she wasn't there. Tia Dalma then gives Jack a jar of dirt because Davy Jones can't step on land for 10 years and if he does, he'll still to it. So if Jack throws it on him, he won't be able to move. And the I won't spoil because to be honest, I have no idea about what happens for the rest of the movie. So, yeah, sorry for making the story sound long but that's the way it can be told. That's the biggest problem people have with the sequels that I have too. That being that the stories are so complicated. And this one was already pretty complicated but it's not the most complicated. That's the next one. I could barely follow anything in that movie. So lets go over the few good things in this. The action is once again spot on. The best one being the sword fight between Jack, Will and another guy named "Norrinton" inside a huge water mill wheel. The choreography there is just unbelievable And again, the cast do do great jobs, but here's where the problems start. There was no need to bring back Will and Elizabeth. And even though I do really like Jack, he's really over used. Plus, remember that scene with the natives, it goes on forever. There is no need for it. It doesn't connect to the plot and they need bring it up again. It goes on for almost a half hour. And yeah, even though Davy Jones is cool with a really cool design, we barely see him. You could cut out the scene with the natives and replace it with more scenes with Davy Jones. And plus, there's another scene where Will meets his father and it is so boring. Sure, it's important but it's boring. I feel like a lot of this was like Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi. With the native scene being like the opening Jabba the Hutt scene. But what I really liked from that was that there was a lot of stuff going on and there was a lot of things happening and the characters were interesting and there was a lot of action and it was important to the plot. Here it's not. I can barely remember anything that happens there. And even the climax seems anti-climatic. You expect the ending to have a really huge and epic feel. And it does a little, but no, it's mostly just pushed to the side for some scenes that no one really cares about. So yeah. The film does have a lot of problems and really doesn't work. It's like Iron Man 2 where the cast is great and so is the action but the plot is all over the place and some things aren't told very good. And out of all the Pirates movies, this is my least favourite out of all of them. It's forgettable, it's dull and I don't even think that it's that  creative. I'd say skip it.
