Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
July 6, 2006 in theaters
Captain Jack Sparrow’s got a blood debt to pay: he owes his soul to the legendary Davy Jones, ghastly Ruler of the Ocean Depths. To escape eternal servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman, ever-crafty Jack must track down the still-beating heart of Jones. But he won’t do it alone: Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are drawn back into another one of his perilous quests—assuming they can evade execution for aiding a pirate.

THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
A sequel that expands the mythology at the cost of the original's economy. The Davy Jones design and the Kraken are the franchise's most impressive visual achievements, and Bill Nighy's performance through heavy effects work is legitimately remarkable. The film is two and a half hours of setup for a third entry, which is both its purpose and its limitation. Ambitious in production and frustrating in structure, but the ambition is real.
