Dont read this if you havent seen the whole POTC2..it will ruin the ending.

Barbosa was shot in the first movie, but in the very last part of the second he came back..? Also, you watched Jack Sparrow pretty much get swallowed by that weird looking octopus thing, but now they want to save him? They better explain all of this in the 3rd, or I will be very upset! Does anybody know why/how Barbosa came back?

The credits had only begun to roll when I exclaimed "what a gyp!" Because although not seen, the words "to be continued..." were obviously at the bottom of the screen. This movie was a big budget seque to another film, not a story of its own. Plus it missed important elements that would have made it a great film. Jack was charming and cute, but never had any clever or heroic moments as he did in the first film. In fact, for much of the film he just seemed lost and indecisive, which made him much less impressive or fun. Who wants to cheer a dull lackluster kinda guy? Also missing was the warm comaraderie between Jack, Will, and Elizabeth. You'd never guess these were people who watched each other's backs and risked their lives for each other. I got really tired of seeing guys who looked like old, carbunkly wood (Davy Jones' captive crew were quite dreary) and I missed the sense of pirate fun from the first film. Finally, there was NOT an ending that made me cheer and shout YO HO! Heck no. Instead, there was a gloomy ending with a ridiculous character resurrection (something which now also ruins the end of POTC1 for me!) and the invisible words "to be continued..." ARGH! This flick was NOT worth my $9 ticket. I was SOOOO disappointed.

Liked the special effects, but also did not like the ending. Too much like a "To Be Continued series."
Think it cheapens the movie.

the movie was great! the whipping seen was a little
disturbing. some movies when they get a good success
on their first movie they push to hard just to make it
good and get good reviews on their second. your movie was totally not
that. and then its not as good as it really could be! but please dont let it be. i know because im in
acting camp.

I don't know if i'm right but I think I might be hitting close to home with this one, but I think the reason why Barbosa's alive again has something to do with the bonus scene at the end of POTC Curse of the Black Pearl. It shows that little monkey "Jack" come back on top of the pile of gold with the chest, and takes out a piece of gold, and you see him shake off his skin and turn into a skeleton monkey again. and if you notice barbosa's body is laying there on the pile of gold next to the chest. My theory is that in the third on they'll come up wit some kind of plot where the monkey stole 2 coins and put one on barbosa'z body, and somehow that ressurects him, but he'z still one of thoze dead/not dead dudez cuz he has the gold piece. i think thatz what they'll go with. or something involving the tia dalma where she resurrects him with some of that voodoo shit. but i like my original theory best, because it would be more acceptable and make sense,because why even have that scene at the end? but then again part 2 has that scene with the dog becoming the new god. thatz funny tho that both of 'em had to do with animalz in the bonus scenes

I'd like to think we were all watching the same movie and that these are just immediate impressions from the peanut gallery. Of course it was the middle chapter of a trilogy, see Back to the Future, see Star Wars, see The Matrix; you have to expect to be given a big fat TBC at the end, the studio already spent the money on the next one and want to guarantee you'll show up.

And if Tia Dalma says that the way to get Jack back (from the dead?) is to go to World's End, and the only one who can take them there is someone who has been then we can pretty much expect that World's End, being the name of the third movie, is going to explain how pirates can come back from the dead. Barbosa eating an apple was a pretty big clue to the fact he's no longer one of the undead.

This was the first movie ever to have me doubting my own eyes when it came to the visual effects. The photorealism was beyond anything I've seen previously. The bad guys really looked wet, the skin shimmered perfectly, rarely did you find your sense of disbelief suspended from anything but the highest halyard.

This was an awesome movie, a great sequel, and the best movie I've seen all summer. The special effects were better than ever--Davy Jones really did look like an octopus man, and I was totally convinced. I am relying on the third movie to tie up all the loose ends and explain things, though, but I thought it was really good. They did an excellent job of coming up with new problems between the characters, although I am kind of sad that Jack, Will, and Elizabeth aren't on good terms anymore. Well, Jack and Elizabeth are, but not Will. Barbossa coming back from the dead... I don't really know what to say about that, but--cool! If anyone hasn't seen it, then go right now!

JUST saw it today, since yesterday's day time session was sold out, and it was well worth turning up again! No, it wasn't "good" i.e. no revealing truths about life, no clever endings (no ending!), no tear-jerkers...but it was definitely entertaining, and that's all you're really supposed to expect for from a movie, isn't it? Depp was amusing as always, and Bloom managed to get a bit of a life somwhere between 1 and 2 (thank goodness). Keira finally got her hands on a sword, and the action sequences were tense and hilarious at the same time. Definitely worht my $11.80 (did I get gypped somewhere? All this talk abotu $9 tickets...yes, I was paying "student!")

**Do Not read unless you've seen Dead man's Chest**

I liked this movie but, i completely and toatally agree with Jill, the person who wrote comment 2. they say,

"Barbosa was shot in the first movie, but in the very last part of the second he came back..? Also, you watched Jack Sparrow pretty much get swallowed by that weird looking octopus thing, but now they want to save him? They better explain all of this in the 3rd, or I will be very upset! Does anybody know why/how Barbosa came back?"

^ that is completely what happened he got shot-don't they understand that...he can't come back after getting killed in the first one. Some say that how is him comming back to life any different than Davy Jones' crew being watever they are without even an explanation to how they teleport from ship to ship, or how they are killed. Well i think that it should have been explaned more but what is worse having someone killed in the first movie and then without an explanation having him just come back or just having some mythic creatures. And also what is up with them going to find jack, and Norrington getting the heart, i mean really, it was a good movie-but the ending deffintly wasn't the best. i liked the movie and i thought it was good but if they don't explain more in the third movie i'm gonna be upset.

I liked the movie other than the ending. way to many questions like how did barbosa come back? How come the monkey still don't die? What happened to Jack. Does the East India Tranding Comp. own the see? What happened to davy Jones and Will's Dad? What happened to Mr.Norington? and it sucks because Will thinks Elizibeth betrade him. but once you get past the ending it was a raelly good movie and it was very entertaining.

I really liked the movie, but I don't really like leaving a movie confused. I think its a really good movie but it left to many questions. I understand that was the point so people would go and watch the 3rd one. But what really bothers me is who does Elizabeth really like Will or Jack? Other than that I really don't mind the one year cliffhanger.

So I saw the movie a few days ago and I just ran across this page. I have read most of the comments and some I agree with and some I don't. I bet you are all wondering what in the world has happened to Jack. Arnt we all. I loved the movie though. It had many actions scenes as always and Will [orlando] finally stepped out of his shell and Elizabeth [keira] finally got hold of a sword and showed what women can do. [You go girl!] I suggest all you go see this movie. Yes it does leave you with many questions at the end but hey isnt that a movie, leave you hanging so you can fullfill your imagination and come up with stories of what happened yourself. Just wait 314 days until the last one and that gives you all pleny of time to go see it in at the movies or rent it or whatever and try to think of what happend. Ponder it all out like I did and maybe if your lucky, you will be right. I enjoyed the movie and loved the gorgeous orlando and johnny as always. Hope you like to too. :]

I thought that was an excellent movie. I wish Captian Jack Sparrow did not get eaten but i think he will come back in the third movie. i think Elizabeth and Jack are a better couple then Her and Will. Will thinks she betrade him but she begged the movies director to have a make out scene with jack and she did. i cant wait to see the thrid

i saw the movie it was funny and i got to admet orlando bloom is fine in the movie . But i still don't get why elizebeth triked jack and later on she wish she didn't

I loved the movie, despite the huge cliffhanger at the end. Good action, good comedy bits, etc... I think one major thing a lot of you shippers out there are forgetting is the fact that Elizebeth 'made-out' with Jack in that scene so she could back him to the mast and handcuff him there... I don't see her as 'falling madly in love with him and leave Will', her relationship is that of friendship. That's my view upon it anyway.

I have to agree. The movie is not the brilliant, original, must-see-over-and-over-again movie that the first one was, but it was a really good excuse to watch some of our favorite movie character romp around for two-and-a-half hours. The cliffhangers were to be expected (it is standard practice for a trilogy to leave its second act in a state of unfulfillment), but the surprises that arose from them were borderline mindblowing. And unlike WB with The Matrix sequels, Disney is smart enough to allow almost a year to build up anticipation for the conclusion. My only complaint, as a fan of swashbucklers, was the lack of swordfights, something the first movie had plenty of.

All in all, I'd give it 3 stars out of 4.
