Dead Man's Chest
My spoiler free thoughts:
Yes, I loved it. Not as much as the first one, but still great. We saw it late Friday night, and again Sat. afternoon. My quibbles were mostly about the unbalanced aspect of it. They really could have toned down the slapstick IMHO. I thought it diminished the emotional impact of several key scenes, especially that last one with Jack. More isn't always better, and the audience actually 'gets' that sometimes, things aren't always a belly laugh.
Comments (if any) may contain spoilers! So read those at your own risk.

Hi there, I just wanted to say that it is nice to find someone who agrees. I went to see it Friday evening, at the local Drive In theatre, and although I may have missed some scenes b/c of the lack of sound in speakers, it was rather enjoyable. I was telling my mom that too many people go into a movie, especially a sequel, and expect it to be as good or better than the first. You can't do that with a Disney sequel, especially. It ruins the movie for them. Lots of people around here weren't impressed with it, but me?? nawww, I LOVED it!
