Pirates of the Caribbean 2: dead man chest
Pirates of the Caribbean 2: dead man chest really my favorite movie. Just ask the producers of "The Haunted Mansion": No one goes to see a movie because it's based on an amusement park ride. The chief reason the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" struck gold was because Johnny Depp created an irresistible character: a flamboyant rascal, Capt. Jack Sparrow.
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley added a romantic subplot, and director Gore Verbinski stocked the galley with a powderkeg of special effects inPirates of the Caribbean , but it was the Oscar-nominated Depp who steered the ship to the box-office treasure chest.
Because this sequel is now the flagship of the corporate armada, Disney has hedged its bets, fortifying the movie with an extra payload of horror and spectacle.
Running 2 1/2 hours, it ought to sink from the weight of the cargo. But it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp, stoked by imaginative effects and propelled by Verbinski's comedic pacing. With even the lovebirds pulling more of their weight, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is the most rousing Hollywood entertainment in many a year.

On the day of their Caribbean wedding, erstwhile pirates Will and Elizabeth (Bloom and Knightley) are arrested for having helped Jack escape the island in the first movie. Cutler Beckett (Tom Hollander), the villainous toady of the East India Co., offers to drop the charges if Will can retrieve Jack and his magical compass, which points to a fabled treasure. After Will sets sail, Elizabeth follows, disguised as a cabin boy on a merchant ship.
