Review: Aarrggg! Move over Spiderman
and make room for the new box office, opening weekend, record holder,
Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). The Black Pearl still sails and
its crew and captain are being hunted by the likes of Davy Jones (Bill
Nighy) himself. Dead, yes, but not forgotten, the supernatural villain
and his motley crew are out to get Captain Jack and his most prized
possession.
Swept up in a deal involving eternal damnation Captain Sparrow
knows that the key to his salvation is to find “The Dead Man’s
Chest,” so he pits The Black Pearl against the Flying Dutchman
in a race for his soul. Throw in a very angry sea monster, some
unfriendly natives, the East India Trading Company’s best
pirate hunter, a few young lovers (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley)
and you have one high adventure on the open seas.
All of this takes time, and this cinema extravaganza takes almost
two and a half hours to unfold. Be advised that if you are prone
to sea-sickness or have an aversion to plots that go too supernatural,
you might get somewhat uncomfortable. If on the other hand, you
are intrigued by the life of a pirate and crave more, the “sequel
door” is left wide open at the end.
Have fun, me buckoos!
