Critics Consensus

Gone is Depp's unpredictability and much of the humor and originality of the first movie.

David Ansen Newsweek The result is an overproduced movie that tries so strenuously hard to be "fun" that it's a chore to sit through. For all its razzle-dazzle production values, the story itself feels cluttered, hard to follow and hard to care about Mar 14, 2018 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO Dead Man's Chest is simply something we've been missing most of this entire summer - a film that's truly alive. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle It's all a bit much, yes, a bit exhausting, that's true, but then why on Earth would anyone expect otherwise? Rated: 3/5 Jul 22, 2006 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site In the second film. calculated commercial interests, which are generally guaranteed to kill off genuine audience enthusiasm, have won out. Feb 14, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Although the previous film ended rather resolutely, there's no denying that the further tales of Jack Sparrow are significantly suitable affairs for cinematic realization. Rated: 8/10 Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof A loose film, which certainly does not offer what it promises. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

jakov s I could recommend this movie to a kind of person that likes sequels and didn't (for some reason) watch the first one. But for me a fan of this whole franchise i is a downfall from a first movie, the reason why is that it dosen't feel that much like a Pirates of the Carribien movie any more. Acting is still there, sometimes comedy (witch I like), can be fun, actually 99% of the movie is really fun but it lost that THING that made the first film absolute must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review movies4granted Davy Jones is one of the best CGI characters ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Brayden G Not as good as the first but it’s still pretty good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Sankalp good S My best favourite of all time it's amazing nd davu Jones stealthe show everytime nd all others r great with simple story but great action adventure plot n unimaginable ending a best n worthy sequel of all time best 👌⚡💫👏🎉👊😃♥️😍🙌 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Jorge R Sequel holds up pretty well. Lives up to its predecessor. And the CGI is top notch! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Adrian G Muy divertida y entretenida, Jack Sparrow es un gran personaje y los efectos especiales lucen mejor que en la primera Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
