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

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".

Pirates of Caribbean is wonderful!!!!!.just saw the third it is great,
they just have to make a fourth movie.This is the summer of the thirds and pirates is the BEST!!!

I was told once that if you threw enough darts, you'd hit the bullseye at least once. Perhaps this was Disney's approach with their "movie-based-upon-an-attraction" streak as of late.

You look back at a few of the toilet gems that Disney has given us (Country Bears, Haunted Mansion) and you might say to yourself "Cripes, why don't you quit trying to get a purse from a sow's flabby backside?".

Of course, all that changes once a little actor named Johnny Depp found the character of Captain Jack Sparrow and truly made it his own.

Pirates Of The Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest is not a great piece of storytelling or a showcase from Oscar winning performances (of course, I had no such expectations). What we do get in this film is what made the first film so enjoyable: little bursts of fun that make you wish you could be the one strutting around on an old ship with an eyepatch and a cutlass at your side.

This time around, Captain Jack Sparrow discovered that his debt to Davy Jones is being called in and he goes on the run from the terror from the depths in a mad search of a way to weasle out of the deal. That is the story in a nutshell, but it is easilly lost and made complicated by the script attemtping to give almost every major and minor chracter reasonable screne time. I'm not saying that it is not an enjoyable effort, but most of my friends and family took a few viewings of the film to figure out what was going on.

There are a few performances that really bring this film up a notch. I have to mention Johnny Depp, since you can tell that he is really having a lot of fun playing Captain Jack Sparrow and he holds nothing back when he is on the screen. I also enjoyed Naomie Harris, who played Tia Dalma a.k.a The Voodoo Lady. She really added to the feel of the film and played wonderfully off the rest of the cast.

However, there is one performance that I personally felt stood above the others and that is of Stellan Skarsgård a.k.a Bootstrap Bill. Stellan really sold me on the pain and suffering he experienced after signing on with Davy Jones crew. As well, he also projected quite well Bootstrap's love for his sun, Will Turner.

The special effects were nice, but really didnt "wow" me. I know a lot of people raved about Davy Jones and his crew, but I didn't consider it too much of a feat (even after watching a few "how they did it" specials on the subject). The scenery was average as well, but I think all this will change in the next film when the crew heads to World's End to search for Captain Jack Sparrow.

In the end, I'd recommend this film if you're looking for an enjoyable adventure movie and a great Johnny Depp performance. Be warned, however, that this film is somewhat dark and there are some parts that may frighten small children.

Johnny depp can't get any cooler or funnier in this awesome movie with a great cast of characters & twists & turns, the special effects are great. I got htis New for a great price & I love it!

Excellent Movie Just as good as the first one, this is the second of three.
Lots of action and laughs, good for the whole family.
The only thing wrong with it, it seems to drag along in some places, but other than that, it is great!
This is a film that I feel comfortable watching with my 3 grandchildren, (6,10,11 ) and not having to fast forward through anything.

Excellent movie, I highly recomend. This movie is action packed and I can't wait for the next one to be released on dvd.

I have the first Pirates had to have the second, will get the third. Who doesn't love captain jack sparrow? I know i do! This movie is so cool. You gotta get them all on dvd.

THE MOVIE IS ENTERTAINING TO SOME DEGREE, HOWEVER, I DECIDED TO ADD IT TO MY CD COLLECTION. PURCHASED AT A GOOD PRICE, NO REGRETS, AS DISNEY MOVIES ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND SPARE NO EXPENSE AT GETTING IT RIGHT.

Johnny Depp is, as always, excellent, and brings freshness to any character he plays. As for Orlando Bloom, he need not be concerned that he will evermore be known only as Legolas from Lord of the Rings. You can also catch him in an episode of Midsomer Murders, a British mystery series. It is a fun story for the kid in all of us.

This is a wonderful family movie. Captain Jack Sparrow is hilarious, William is charismatic, and Elizabeth is lovely. The plot was well done, so many twist and turns I almost felt "sea sick". Aside from the fun-filled action, this movie had heart. From sticking up for your friends and fighting for your love.

I bought this movie for three reasons. 1.)I loved part one 2.)Johhny Depp and Orlando Bloom stars 3.)I'm collecting all movies.

Jack Sparrow keeps you coming back for more! The whole cast and crew is just awsome. They really make their characters so believable. Johnny Depp is my favorite. He's the bad boy that every woman can't help but totally fall in love with. He's the one pirate you'd like to meet if you became stranded on an island. I bought this movie when it first came out. I can't to see part three!

In this sequel to the 1st Pirates of the Caribbean we once again delight in the star filled cast of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom & others! It's been said that a sequel usually is Not as good as the original--oh, but this is soo not true in this case!--this sequel is just as good (actually even better) than the original! There's action, adventure--it's crazy & zany. Johnny Depp once again comically outshines himself as Captain Jack and a host of other stars add to this new "Pirates" adventure. The ending leaves you impatiently waiting for the next installment to frolick on the high seas once again just to see the fate of our glorious "Captain Jack"! **A Must See Movie--Buy it**

Fun movie. Johnny Depp is brilliant in this role! The fact that he based his character on Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones is hilarious!

Jack Sparrow of Johnny Depp was cool and was wonderful.
When it is having a cool head and the humor which it showed of a drama, seductiveness will not become more attractive without him. And it is a movie there is a speedy mystery ass, and to be able to enjoy enough.
There are many mysteries, and, at the last, there is the mysterious touch, and, by a way of ending that wants to let you never watch the product "world end" on the next time, a product is a pleasure now on the next time. I recommend it I watch it by a product once on the next time, and to put it.

I bought a movie Pirates of the caribbean:Deads Mans Chest. I Loved it great buy and also great service.

I never received this item although I paid for it. Since ebay failed to help before, I've been hesitant to try again. If this is the way ebay is now being run, I would caution all buyers to be VERY careful......of sellers and ebay!

My son loved the first movie. So, I decided to buy the second one. He loved it just as much. We'll be sure to buy the third movie when it comes out!!!

I bought the movie because it was cheaper than buying one at the store. Especially since I didn't see it before. It was a very good movie and I'm happy to add it to my collection.

Ordered 3 DVS; only received one (Astronaut's Wife); Never received Dead Man's Chest or Prestige. Received notice from you that Prestige would be credited to my account. Please do the same for Dead Man's Chest.

Came in on the 2nd of this trilogy before seeing the first one.

Probably why I am only giving it an 'average rating', as I just did not see the fascination of this movie.

I have already gone through the 'pirates' phase with my boys when they were younger, and this movie did not make me want to jump up and down waiting for the third movie.... I'm waiting anxiously for Spider-man 3, Fantastic Four 2, not Pirates 3 !

Sorry!

I loved every minute of this movie. It had a sense of action and fun. The comedy was light-hearted yet did not turn the movie into a cartoon. It was an enjoyable show. However, it does not have an ending. There is no closure at the end of the movie. The whole thing is a set-up for part three which comes out this Spring. When you watch it, just plan on saying, "But what happens next?"

This was one of the best productions once again. Awesome performance by Captain Jack Sparrow. However, the ending was abrupt. Needless to say, this is obvious because a sequel is already in the making.
