Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Summary: More Jack Sparrow. That's probably the only reason this movie was made. Jack ... and lots of sword fighting.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10

Review: Sword fighting. How many ways can we fit impossible sword fighting into a movie? Watch and find out.

I can handle walking dead people. I can handle a half octopus, half man bad-guy. I can also handle curses and magic. But, when you take two pirates and have them sword fight in completely impossible situations, you lose me. It takes the viewer right out of the moment. Would you like to watch a 20 minute sword fight where one of the pirates was standing on his head? That's almost how bad it was. (Hmm, I bet they put this in the third movie. You just wait and see.)

The plot felt like it was just thrown in at the last moment. The scenarios were contrived and barely fit together. The sword fighting was cheesy. BUT, it was a "fun" movie. So, I didn't give it that bad of marks. Oh, I do hate cliffhangers, though.
