Long Live Sparrow!!

I watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest this afternoon with NW and PA. NW and I were very excited about the movie, we were longing to watch this one and in fact, we bought the ticket a day before. The problem is, we were caught up with something in the office and got to the theater 10 minutes before the show. We can't find a decent seat and we sat on the second row from the front. It wasn't that fun to watch movie that close to the screen, with the neck pain and eye strain etc afterward.

Anyway, it is a great movie. Great acting, great CGI, great characters and good story line too. The only thing is since this is the second movie in the trilogy, the ending of the movie seems a little loose, yet, I can't wait to see the third one now.

The scene where Captain Sparrow first appear on screen was hilarious. Its even funnier than the first movie. The other funny one is Elizabeth Swann went "Captain....Captain Jack Sparrow" to Lord Cutler Beckett (some bad guy in this second one), exactly what Sparrow said in the first movie when he was about the be hanged. My favourite is Pintel and Ragetti, where this time around, they are helping the good guy.

The score for this movie is excellent, haunting at times, hilarious at times, especially when classical music were used in one very unlikely scene. The score actually tie the two movies together, you can hear some resemblence to the first one, yet there are some new elements.

NW and I speculated that the voodoo lady in this second movie is actually a bad one, because of some thing that she owned in her little hut, which resembles something that Davy Jones own. Well, its just our speculation.

Something to look forward to next year, since the third and final one won't be in the theatre till next year. And, Yes! Captain Barbosa is back too! And an academy award for Johnny Depp!! (it won't happen anyway, cause this is a comedy)
