The Popkorn Junkie :: Pirates of the Caribbean 2

I usually like to start a review with a brief summary of the basic plot, however, with Pirates of the Caribbean II, I am not quite sure of the plot. But let me try… I think the undead Davy Jones (an interesting new character played by Bill Nighy) needs to collect souls to run his ghost ship so … no.. wait, that’s not quite right. Let me try again… for some reason Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) has a magical compass that….well, no… um… someone needs a heart so the voo doo princess….but….. there’s this thing with a monkey that can’t be killed and a jar of dirt and then Orlando Bloom’s character’s father need to be saved for 100 years of labor as a ghost, so the crew… but.. gosh I don’t really know what it is about. I could not understand most of the accents, and even if I could I am not sure I could follow the story line.

But I loved it.

Yeah that’s right.. I have no clue what was going on overall, but the film is fast paced, funny, well acted and has the most realistic and well integrated special effects I have ever seen. Crazy and fantastic scenes abound above and below the ocean and they are so well done I didn’t for a moment think that they were just effects. So I was totally drawn into their strange world. I kind of felt like a loyal member of the crew – following the leads, not quite sure knowing what was going on, but happily going along with the adventures.
