Captain Jack is back!
I'll admit, I wasn't sure how this movie would be without Orlando Bloom or Kiera Knightly, but I really enjoyed it. Almost as much as the first one.
Johnny Depp(as always) was brilliant as Jack Sparrow. Why he doesn't have an Oscar I don't know. Something is seriously wrong with the Academy.
In this movie, Jack is on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth, but he's not the only one. Along the way he runs into a past love interest, Angelica (Penelope Cruz). She's looking for it in order to help her father, the infamous pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane). We also see the return of Barbossa, played by the great Geoffery Rush.
The story overall was good. Although there was a subplot involving a missionary & a mermaid that, while not completly horrible, really wasn't necessary and felt a little forced. However, I liked their take on mermaids.
The chemistry between Johnny & Penelope was believable. Although my favorite scenes were the Jack/Barbossa ones. They cracked me up.
As far as the 3D goes, it was pretty good. Some scenes that were dark to begin with were even darker so that was a little annoying. On the IMAX screen the picture quality was amazing. Def see it that way if you get a chance. It's worth the extra money.
My Rating: 8.5/10
I gave it the extra .5 because before the movie they showed the trailer for Deathly Hallows part 2! :D
