The only reviews i've heard said it was really bad. I'll wait for it to get to dvd.

how odd.

every review i have read has been quite glowing.

From what I have seen it looks a bit too over blown and has too many special FX.

That's pretty much what the movie is about. The plot really has little depth, it's mostly just suppose to be an "entertaining" movie that's "fun" to watch (at least, that's how I interpreted the first one).

Without it's over-the-topness and special effects, it would have nothing (except Kiera).

well-put.

i think that's what the majority of the reviewers lose sight of: this movie (and others like it) aren't built around the notion that a deep plot and thought-provoking intellectualism are necessary... they're entertainment, created to entertain the masses and in effect, get them out of the normal, dreary, day-to-day grind.

at least that's why i go. of course, i do enjoy the deep-plot-intellectual films every once in awhile as well. but you see my point.

Haven't seen it yet.  But I HAVE seen a bunch of pirates roaming the streets around the hotel I'm in.

I'm with Captain Jack Sparrow... I loved it.

Aghhhhhh! How do I change my title??!?!?! Can I???? That fits perfect with the movie!!!! AHgghgh!

I didn't like it as much as I thought. Some of the special effects were badly animated and the characters didn't seem to have the same passion that they had in the first one. Something happens at the end of the movie (I won't spoil) that made me question if the writers had even seen the first movie.
It was alright. I wish we'd saved date night for a nice dinner instead, though and gotten this when it comes out on DVD.

Haven't seen it yet. All of my friends have liked it and want to go back to see it again, it's that good. Apparently. I liked the first one -- though it went on for a bit longer than I preferred. I guess I'll go see it sometime.

loved it!

well someone liked it. 132 million-dollars-record-breaking-opening-for-a-weekend-lot of people.

I loved it. It was exactly what it was supposed to be: lots of action and wise cracking, just enough plot to move things along.

There was only one scene that I thought the special effects were really badly done, and there was also a bit too much rolling around in general.

The effects that bring Davy Jones and his crew to life have to be the most effective and realistic I have ever seen.

This is one of the rare movies where I am glad they spent more time fleshing out effects, than plot. It's meant to be a thrilll ride, and it was, for me anyway. I'm looking forward to the third, although I expect it to be heavier on Geoffrey Rush, and lighter on Johnny Depp.

all the smurf growing on the sea captain and his crew were really gross. really took away from the movie for me.
