Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

I really liked this movie and I had a great time!

The downsides first: Very slow start. I wasn't enthralled with the character interactions and how they introduced the story. It was very plodding.

Spoiler:
I didn't get the importance of the compass and the dead man's chest at first (unless I wasn't supposed to). Once they found Jack, the mvoie picked up considerably.


I loved:

Spoiler:
The cages that Jack's crew were trapped in and the scene with them swinging to get to the mountainside. Very funny.

The Voodoo lady.

The three way sword fight toward the end. Terrific physical comedy.


And I absolutely loved:

Spoiler:
The Flying Dutchman and her crew. I couldn't take my eyes of it. Freaky, funky, fantastic, creepy and awesome. And I especially thought Davy Jones was fantastic. Such a cool character and even though he wasn't meant to look like him, I couldn't help but think of LeChuck (as seen in Marek's avatar) when he first came on the screen.!


Did anyone stay through the credits?

I'm sure something else will come to mind later.
