Fortunately for all, this second review confirms everything from the first!
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Early Review
The good people over at MCN, have recently put up their early review and, like the review before it, claim that POTC: Dead Man's Chest is everything a summer audience can hope for.
Oh yes… And Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is easily the best studio confection of the year ... kicking ass, taking names, and reminding us all of the joy that going to a big summer movie is supposed to inspire in us.
I guess the place to start is by saying that I was surprised that this is, essentially, a Middle Movie. There were indications of this as the film went along, but I wasn't sure whether it would be a standalone story until pretty close to the end.
Still, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio do a nice job of making this movie stand on its own, reflecting the original and whetting the appetite for the third of the series with a cliffhanger that has none of the suspense of The Empire Strikes Back, but all of the fun that sends you out of the theater smiling, laughing, and applauding.
The review gets slightly sidetracked when it begins to discuss how the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise could go on forever; well, at least farther than the third installment.
Add to Heffee!
