Pirates of the Caribbean, part Deux

MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS! YOU HAVE BEEN <span style="color:#FF0000">WARNED!

I didn't mind the length of the movie, but I did feel that they packed too much into it. There were scant few mellow moments to relax. There was no clear, concise plot. It wasn't a complex plot, per se, but there were a lot of unnecessary twists and turns.

At times it felt to me like they were saying to us as viewers "forget about the main plot for a bit and watch this string of well-orchestrated and humorous action sequences!" The action sequences were great, mind you, but some felt tacked-on. I wouldn't describe the original Pirates' plot as simple, but at the moment I can't think of any scenes that weren't connected to the main story (even if you don't find out how until the end).

A few gripes:
  • The bamboo fruit-cabob was too slapstick for my tastes and for Pirates-type humor, I felt.<>
  • The first kraken appearance was startling, awe-inspiring and impressive. After that, I got tired of seeing the kraken "pull its punches" for the rest of the movie.<>
  • Why on earth did the "team" in the other suspended "ball prison" keep climbing the wall? It wasn't a race.<>
  • There was a lot of Captain Jack, but not enough! He needs to be on camera 100% of the time.<>
  • Davey Jones' crew reminded me too much of those shark action heroes from the late nineties. I forgot what they were called.<>
    [st]I'll end this negative post by saying I did like the movie quite a lot. I appreciated Orlando and Keira's characters more this time around, and the special effects were spectacular. I suppose it was foolish of me to think it could live up to Pirates.
