Critics Consensus

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

Great popcorn movie leaving us with a cliffhanger making me want to see what happens next.

Not as good as the first one... that happens a lot. But still, it's a really good movie, with amazing action, characters and a good cliffhanger that adds to the whole experience. My only problem with this movie is that some of the action sequences get really dragged out, so they become boring and not interesting anymore.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

The action is astounding, the acting is great and Davy Jones is one of the best villains of the entire franchise.

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

Dead Man's Chest is simply something we've been missing most of this entire summer - a film that's truly alive.

It's all a bit much, yes, a bit exhausting, that's true, but then why on Earth would anyone expect otherwise?

In the second film. calculated commercial interests, which are generally guaranteed to kill off genuine audience enthusiasm, have won out.

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

A loose film, which certainly does not offer what it promises. [Full Review in Spanish]
