Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

Went to see this yesterday with the FP Gal. We greatly enjoyed the first one back in 2003. Found it be a tremendous mixture of action, effects and just plain fun. Johnny Depp in particular was tremendous as Jack Sparrow, er Captain Jack Sparrow. So with great anticipation we went to the sequel. And greatly enjoyed it too.
The plot is incredibly complex. (I won't go into it for fear of spoiling it.) The new villian is compelling. The effects aren't quite as good as the original but that's mainly because of how high that bar has been set. And once again, the characters are just lots of fun. The third of the series comes out next summer and we're excited for that too.
