A lot of people hate this film and claim it was where the franchise truly met its downfall.
I love this just as much as the first film.
Sue me.

sometimes it's just nice to watch a studio movie that was actually storyboarded

The Empire Strikes Back of my generation as far as I'm concerned.
Film critics like to call this convoluted. A criticism also often directed at its follow-up, At World's End, and apparently one that Dead Men Tell No Tales has not been able to escape. Honestly, what does "convoluted" even means anymore? Heeey what's this? A movie that the screenwriters actually bothered to THINK to come up with its story? Nah, that's too much for the general audience. It's boring and hard to follow.
I watched this movie when I was 11, I was completely enthralled by it and easily understood its story. How the FUCK is this hard to follow?! If an 11 year old can understand this,…

The follow-up chapter to The Curse of the Black Pearl might appear inferior in content & a step-down in quality of narration but it nonetheless succeeds as a worthy sequel that presents significant upgrades in many aspects, takes the spectacle of the first film to a higher level and despite a few hiccups remains a highly entertaining & amusing ride for the most part.
The second instalment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Dead Man's Chest continues the journey of the savvy pirate Captain Jack Sparrow as he's reminded of the debt he owes to Davy Jones, Captain of the Flying Dutchman, and then races against time to steal Jones' heart in order to strike a bargain with him. But he…

"I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by."
narratively some kind of cumbersome riddle, but so packed with non-sequitur incident and broad humor that it almost resembles INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. pretty much one damn thing after another. kind of a watershed for modern CGI, with a lot of really seamless integration of performance capture, pure animation, and elaborate practical sets. Davy Jones smoking a pipe in the rain or, in probably my favorite moment of the film, Sparrow charging into the Kraken's mouth, are as purely iconic images as this stuff ever managed. Bill Nighy is terrific in this and Orlando Bloom is thankfully not in it all that much.

It really hurts to see how well made, thematically coherent, and just plain weird* a massive-budget Disney blockbuster sequel based off pre-existing properties can be. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is, without a shred of doubt, spectacle filmmaking at its very finest.
There are so many attributes overflowing from this film, but the first thing that struck me was the deft tonal control. This is exactly what the Marvel films have attempted to replicate with varying levels of success for over twenty films, yet never nailed as precisely as Gore Verbinski and the cast do here, where moments of lighthearted humor are legitimately funny without undercutting the sincere emotional current that runs through this film. I think it’s…

Not as good as Curse, but watching these back to back just shows how seamless the storytelling is between the first movies.

Really enjoyed this one. It’s the one that I always remember as being my favourite from back in the day. Something about my guys tentacle beard always charmed me.
Once again, Keira Knightley did my head in, even worse than usual too. Dirty little hoe.

i mean the scene with the big wooden wheel was more important for me when i was a child than most family members

This film is absolutely bonkers insane nuts! I love it! I’ve loved it since I saw it on my birthday in 2006. Rewatching today I’m still stunned by the visual effects, Davy Jones looks like prosthetic makeup at certain times. I can understand why people might not dig this but I mean this is a nearly $300 million blank check film that doesn’t play it safe, it plays it completely nuts.

Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different? - Davy Jones
A good sequel should do multiple things. Continue the dangling plot lines of the original film. Expand on the world. Bringing in a bigger and deadlier antagonist. Have higher stakes.
This film does all that. Dead Man's Chest manages to turn Pirates from a fun swashbuckling action series into a full on fantasy pirate epic and it is all the better for that. Everyone continues to be as a great as before, and the new characters slide in perfectly, especially the cold malice of Bill Nighy's Davy Jones
FINAL SCORE: 81
GRADE: A- -
the davy jones cgi is better than thanos’ cgi and this film came out 12 years before infinity war
