Anthony Lane
The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.
Joe Williams
It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.
Bill Zwecker
This second film is pretty much all thrills, special effects and nonstop action -- but with virtually no cohesive or compelling story line.
Peter Howell
'Complications arose, ensued, were overcome,' Jack says at one point. Not entirely, but Dead Man's Chest is worth weighing anchor for, regardless.
Richard Schickel
In every other way -- as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully sly and subtle actor -- it is not merely a loser. It is a disaster.
Robert Denerstein
For the most part, Dead Man's Chest stands on its own and even makes a few halfhearted attempts to say something.

The second Pirates of the Caribbean movie is a sweet umbrella drink leaving no hangover, two hours and 20 minutes of escapism that once again makes the movies safe for guilt-free fun.

More than worthy follow-up The more I see this movie the more I enjoy it. I really didn't think it was better than the original the first time I saw it, but it definitely grows on you. The effects are simply jaw-dropping, it is actually funnier than the first movie despite it being the 'Empire' of the Pirates trilogy, and it brings to life the old Disney sea monster in an actual true and incredibly fun way.
Intresting It is so fun sometimes the scary parts make you scream but so fun and intresting!!!

Dumbledore is intent upon preparing Harry for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.
