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

Gorptholemew T 🍅 6.3/10 Honestly, it’s funny to think that there could’ve been a world where Jack sparrow wasn’t in these movies, but like he’s the sauce he’s the salt man he’s the flavor thank god he’s here 😭. A tad bit overlong and boring at parts but it still has its fare share of fun and exciting bombastic moments. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Samuel P definitely best of the franchise Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Stef R I thought the first one was pretty good. Not awesome but good and then people told me this one was even better. I remember finding it nonsensical and full of irritating male characters with not much plot. After I finished watching it I saw a documentary about the making of it that implied the writers just got drunk and had a holiday and then threw together whatever at the last minute. That story certainly fit what ended up on screen! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Macon R Remember, this is the day you almost caught Captain Jack sparrow Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Will G Almost as good if not better than the original. This movie is very good and very underrated, This movie shouldn’t be at a 71% it should be much higher than that. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Kobe P this movie is an s teir great story telling great plot screw the critics this movie is top teir materieal Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
