I finally went out to see the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" flick this afternoon -- I'm on vacation for the next couple weeks, so posting will be whatever it turns out to be -- and I must say that I'm rather underwhelmed.
The special effects were excellent; lots of action; lots of Keira Knightly (hubba, hubba), but the movie didn't end. That's right, it's like the second Matrix movie -- but at least with that flick you knew going in that the sequel was coming out in six months and you wouldn't have to wait long. "Dead Man's Chest" ends on a handful of cliffhangers with practically nothing resolved.
The movie has been out several weeks, so, if you're an above average moviegoer, you've already gotten bitten by this. However, if you haven't, don't go. Wait until the third movie is in theaters and then go out and rent the second one on DVD.

You have some ability to withstand watching Johnny Depp****.
I would not mind watching Keira Knightley, but I will forego such when it comes to having watch the Depp*** at the same time.
