Saw it. Blew my mind. I was going to watch X-men 3, but I decided to head to POTC 2 and Im glad I did! The effects were amazing! There was a pun every other line and they werent that bad. Oh and go Krakken! It was just a great summer movie which you'd most likely enjoy with a box of buttered popcorn. I loved it. It was much more than an improvement from the first. The last 10 minutes were, I found, the best.

I thought it was OK. I definitelt like the cgi effects of Davey Jones and the monster. Other then that, thought it was just OK

Yeah it was just OK for me too. I found the first one much more enjoyable. Its entertaining, but thats about it. And I felt the jokes were forced, not as natural as in the first one.

It was decent. I found that both that "hampster ball" cage and the water wheel were completely over the top. I really liked to see Davey Jones play that organ. That was my favorite part. I don't think the story flowed the way it should have, which is a common mistake with the second part of a trilogy. I found the first one far more enjoyable. Much was left unexplained that could have been helpful. All it would have taken is to cut down on some of those really long, over the top scenes. I hope the final one is better. And by final, I mean third. We have all seen the horrors of a popular series getting a fourth installment.

I thought it was excellent-Im 2 for 2 now as I enjoyed X3 too.Hopefully Supes will thrill me as much as the last two. and Id say spidey regains his throne next year because Spidey 3 will be a friggin monster at the box office.its only competition will be Transformers and POTC3

I saw that little teaser form Transformers and thought it looked pretty corny. I want to actually see the bots soon. Im positive Spiderman 3 is going to take away POTC2's top box office score. But POTC3 is probably not going to be able to beat it. They will both be released next year (I think) which is something to look forward to.

I think the teaser for TF the movie sets the tone nicely myself.it looks like the decepticons invade and the Autobots arrive to stop them

At first the Autobots were looking like the bad guys looking in the teaser. I hope they might use some same voices from the cartoons because I found the voices very well done in the shows, although the show itself reeks.

The movie was, in a word, tentalicius. I adored and squeed over the whole Jones pirate crew ("And this, dear children, is what happens when you flush your begrudged seamonkey's down the toilet."). The Kraken was fantastic. I agree that the plot was a bit weak and not well laid out. Personally, I think the time that should/would have been spent on a steadily paced plot was squandered on references to Movie 1 jokes. On that note, I call the line for the third movie. Jack to the Kraken, "You will remember this as the day you almost digested Captain Jack Sparrow." The best part of the movie, aside from Johnny of course, were the special effects. I was very fond of the scene with Davey Jones playing the nautical organ. Cthulhu of the Opera, on the open seas. Okay, enough rambling from me for now. Ciao.

[shadow=purple,left,300]It was a good follow-up to the first film. It seemed a bit long, and there were a few moments that seemed too over the top, even for POTC, but those points can easily be overlooked. I thought it was a fun movie with another decent mix of action, comedy and suspense.
8/10 [/shadow]

I really enjoyed Pirates 2, it was just a great old fashioned fun time out, the way they used to make 'em but rarely do anymore. Good stuff. I think it's going to turn out to be a really fun trilogy, but waiting for part 3 is going to be a damn long wait...

It'll only be about a year. Compare that to how long other trilogies take (leaving out The Matrix pt. 2 and 3)
