Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow and is caught in yet another tangled web of supernatural intrigue.
It turns out Jack owes a blood debt to the legendary Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), ruler of the ocean depths and captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. If Jack can-t figure a crafty way out of this one he-ll be cursed to an afterlife of eternal servitude and damnation. And as if that weren-t enough, Captain Jack-s problems throw a huge wrench into the wedding plans of the blissful Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), who quickly find themselves thrust into Jack-s misadventures!

Product reviews...
Full of adventure, action, and typical Jack Sparrow humour, this movie was a great sequel to The Curse Of The Black Pearl, and even after watching it 4 times already, it still hasn-t lost any of its fascinating charm. Since I-d seen the first Â"Pirates of the CaribbeanÂ" movie and absolutely loved it, Â"Dead Man-s ChestÂ" was, for me, a must seeÂ- and I most definitely was NOT disappointed!!
The big sword-fighting scene, which has Will Turner, Jack Sparrow, and Captain Norrington all running like mice on a HUGE wheel - dancing and diving all over it, is extremely entertaining and very well done, as are the special effects that turn Bill Nighy into Â"Davy JonesÂ", which are shown in great detail in the Special Features on the second discÂ- definitely worth watching, along with most of the other sections on the Special Features disc!!
I am now thoroughly looking forward to the third movie, and know that Dead Man-s Chest will be a regular visitor to the DVD player!
