Pirates of the Caribbean: The Dead Man's Chest

I thought Superman Returns would be this summer's biggest blockbuster. But the second instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean is breaking all records in its first weekend. Its made money in a weekend which has taken 2 weeks for Superman. Why? Because its a fun movie. Johnny Depp is in it, Orlando Bloom and Keira also co-star. So I would believe if you take a random sample of a group going for a movie, they would like one of these actors. So mission accomplished as far going to the theatre. But a lot depends on word of mouth for the coming weeks. Thats where Superman has failed. Its a decent movie but boring compared to this one. This one's an adventure story all ages would enjoy.

The plot:

Davy Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman, lives beneath the sea. His heart was broken once and the still-beating broken heart is locked away in a chest (Dead Man's Chest). Unfortunately Captain Jack Sparrow had made a deal with Davy Jones, who is now expecting him to make good on his promise by handing himself over to Jones's servitude. This chest has a key that Sparrow and the East India Company wants because whoever owns the chest owns the seas. Jack will not give in without a fight, which is especially bad news for Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, who always seem to get caught up in Jack's mishaps.
The movie is 2 and half hours long and except a few times when you might find the going a bit slow, its non-stop adventure. Go and see it.
