This is what a summer film should be, and usually is. Only this tended to be a lot more fun. It has a whole lot more humour then the first, and the whole audience was basically pissing themselves through the entire thing. Also, the budget has been stepped up quite a bit and the effects were amazing. So were the sets. Nice, colorful beach scenery, expecially in the tribal scenes, and dark, grim imagery later on when at sea vs Davey Jones. Speaking of Davey, his crew and himself were pretty much some of the best character designs ever. Part fish, part human. Very cool characteristics and looks. I had fun trying to identify what each one was. Starfish, clam, crab, lobster, squid, etc. The Kraken was also cool, but I expected it to play a larger part and have more of a character. It was kind of... just there. Though it did play part in a twist I was rather dissapointed with. Won't spoil it, but let me just say the "death" scene was not as climactic as I wished it to be. It was... forgettable. Then they just moved on and brought back a character from the first. The ending definately took a dive in the excitement factor, but I still await the third part which is probably finish NOW even though it only comes out in May, 2007 due to them filming the second and third part at the same time. Oh, and Orlando Bloom took off his shirt. Actually, it was ripped off. Mmm, he has a sexy back. (AAAHH!!! JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES EWWW)

Thankfully Ive already seen it, but Id slap a spoiler warning on that for those who havent got to yet. Even though you dont flat out say what happens, you do hint at a few things that probably are best not hinted at...if you get my point.
By the way...(*Spoilers*)
How much more climactic did you want the "death" (Hah, like that's gonna last) to be? I hated the reasoning behind it, but thought it was a very cool looking scene.
