Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006, DVD)

This movie was good, but the first one was better. This one was alot more fictional, and was alot more adult oriented in my opinion. I honestly was shocked at the opening scenes when my children watched this. There was no need for Disney to take something kid oriented and change it for the sequel. I would not let my young children watch this with the insinuation that people were being hung. The ending was also disapointing, it was not what you wanted to happen at all. I think that this movie could have been better, especially since the first one was such a good movie.

In my opinion, it's a great movie. Three hours of pure fun.
I think the last part is the best of all three.
Saw it in theaters before, but after watching the 3rd one,
I had to have a copy of my own.

this was the best price i found on the movie. i love this whole collection!!! great family movie for older kids and adults. i guess i', just a big jonny depp fan.

It's very famous movie going on for a quite while and all kinds young, grown ups love it. I though to see it too. Very interesting.

My niece wanted the movie so I bought it for her. She loves the movie. She thinks Johnny Depp is cute. Overall, I think this is a good movie, especially for teenagers.

Repulsive looking Davy Jones but Captain Jack is still a Charmer

I'm a big Johnny Depp fan and a BIG Captain Jack Sparrow Fan (I even have a Captain Jack Sparrow T-shirt I wear all the time). This being the case, I don't think it would've been possible for me not to have liked Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest at all. However, I was hoping to come away from the movie just as excited about it, as I was after seeing Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl, but I wasn't. The sequel fell short of the originality and nonstop excitement we got in the first.

The biggest disappointment in Dead Man's Chest is the character of Davy Jones played by Bill Nighy. It seems ironic that Jack Sparrow's character was a sure sign of genius and ingenuity from the creative mind of Johnny Depp, and is what made Pirates of the Caribbean the phenomenon it is today. Yet in the sequel, someone came up with a repulsive looking Davy Jones who is half man/half sea creature. He had the characteristics of cross-between a Star Wars and Lord of the Rings monster with eyes befitting a mass murderer from some horror flick. I found it difficult to look at the screen when there were close-ups of him, which was often. Bootstrap Bill's character, played by Stellan Skarsgård wasn't as bad, but unimpressive as well. He looked like some kind of freak in a costume someone would throw together on Halloween night.

Other than a few characters missing, the cast from Curse of Black Pearl was in Dead Man's Chest and it was enjoyable to see an ensemble of the old delightfully original and charismatic characters again.

As for Captain Jack Sparrow, well as can be expected he was the star of the show; however, Depp appeared to play the character with less flamboyance and animation this time around. I wondered if Depp might have enjoyed pretending to be a real-life pirate more in Curse of the Black Pearl than he did in Dead Man's Chest. The thrill of it all might have faded just a bit, which wouldn't be hard to understand considering Johnny Depp's apparent need for unusual, offbeat and eccentric roles.

The best part of the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest is the ending which makes you leave the theater wishing the Part III sequel was playing the next day. There is an unexpected twist that will keep you wondering how it will play out in the sequel.

Bottom line... Is it worth seeing? Yes. Is it as good as the first? Unfortunately not. Will I see Part III? You bet!

awesome movie.... johny depp and his acting are just amazing. This movie has a great story and great acting.

I liked the movie in the theatre. ANd I found it on Ebay for a great price plus the seller was local.

I bought it for my grandaughter's birthday and it was exactly what she wanted. It was sent promptly and just what they said it was. I thought I got a good price for it also.

I love this DVD....I love the series...Great DVD...Absolutely Perfect! A Must Buy! If you are a Pirate Fan...you gotta have this one! I wish this series would go on forever!

What can I say but that I saw this movie in the theater at least 9 times and loved everybit of it. It does start out a little slow at the beginning, but once you are past the first 3-4 minutes hold onto your tricorn! Definitely the best performance by Depp. Great action sequences mixed with a bit of comedy. Fun, witty, exciting! This is a great movie for all!

I love this movie just like all the Pirates movies, I wanted it for
my collection.
The movie is great. I love Johnny Depp.

I like the series on the whole. Can't wait to get the thrid part. The total price paid was a bargain, and this was sent from Hong Kong.

My grandaughter loves pirates of the caribbean this movie was very cheap and is in great condition the sellar sent it fast I hope to do business with them again

This was definelty better than the first one! Johnny Depp's character is just too sexy, daring, humorous and mystifying. Never a dull moment in this movie and I bore easily. This is worth the money to purchase for your own collection! xoxox Goddess

My family and I love the movie. It is a good follow up to The Curse of The Black Pearl. Alot of action and different characters keeps you intrigued throughout.

johnny depp is really awesome in this movie to be a pirate by other standards he is told to be the worst pirate they have ever seen, i think depp give a good twist to being a pirate a must see movie

This is a great movie. I like the special effects and it follows the same cool theme as the first Pirates. This movie to me was a bit overdone, though. I would recommend seeing it and even buying it. I am anxious for the third.

Really liked this movie and wanted to see some of it in slo-mo. Had the first movie and needed the second to continue the collection.

Would love to write a review for this but unfortunately the seller scammed me and others who never got this dvd. He has sinced been banned from hlaf.com and I did get a refund

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is a great family DVD that everyone will enjoy. Entertaining and everyone will watch it over and over again. No complaints.

What a great movie! In this movie you get to see all of the characters evolve and you get to met new animated characters too. Despite the great use of animation all of it looks pretty real and flows very well with the movie. Before I saw the movie I was concerned that the new characters like Davey Jones and his crew would look lame, but not once did I think that when I saw the movie. Great movie, definatly worth seeing!

It's very few and far between that we as viewers get to bask upon the unbreakable genuis of one director's childhood fantasy. Pirates, action, humor, the Pirates of the Carribean films have thus far put intelligence into action and then folded it up with great cinematography and excellent swordplay. A great film for children 12 and older and families also. Johnny Depp truly out performed himself in this film, making this a box office favorite for everyone.

I bouht it because I had borrowed my neighbors DVD and my children scratched it. It's the only DVD I watched several times and forgot to put it high up. (I've been borrowing DVDs from my neighbor for 10yrs and this was the first incidient). I suppose that I can say I loved the movie. Very funny, not your usual horror show or love story and not too "silly".
