By now, with reviews coming in from CTC, movies.go etcetra, we know that some people didn't like the sequel as much as the first one. Perhaps Dead Man's Chest just fell a little short. Most will probably feel like they just watched TLotR: Fellowship of the Ring or The Matrix: Reloaded. Figure out the similarities between the two.

Personally, I'd say go watch Pirates. It is more action-packed than Pirates 1 and has more humour and personal conflicts which even more developed the already lovable (or you-love-to-hate) characters. It kind of reminded me of the movie Cut-throat Island which starred Geena Davis (Long Kiss Goodnight). I'd recommend you to watch that one if you're into pirates and treasures. Cut-throat Island has the same feel and action into it as Pirates so the movie just won't grow old.

If you're a fan of Geoffrey Rush, you'll love the ending! (spoiler alert) But really, Dead Man's Chest I think served it's purpose - a purpose the producers kept from the viewers which is to build up for a third installment that's going to be real big. *shivers me timbers already* (whatever that means)
