Krissy and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest this afternoon (as there was an open house of our apartment form 1-3), and I have to say, it was very disappointing. It wasn’t a bad movie, but it lacked the “Wow, Disney effectively changed a popular theme-park ride into a movie” magic of the first film. It also ends without ending, pulling an Empire Strikes Back (although it felt a bit more like a Back to The Future II) “ending” that points to the next movie. So, it was largely a preface; more a preface to the next movie than it was a sequel to a blockbuster.
Actually, time will tell… if the 3rd movie is not a good movie, then it will be clear that Dead Man’s Chest pulled a Matrix: Reloaded.
