pirates2 review

Went and saw the second Pirates movie last night. It was pretty good, but nowhere near the original. The main problem was that it seemed to have much, much less sense of fun and silliness. There really were only a few moments of sheer comic brilliance, while the first one was just full of these ("same question again, this time to the parrot").

The various prosthetics on Davy Jones crew, tho - ew! Awesome stuff. If you have a problem with slimy tentacles, this movie is probably not for you.

Depp in particular was a lot flatter this time around. This makes me sad. Hopefully the final one in the story will make up for it.
