Good ol’ Jack Sparrow, back in the second installment of Pirates of the Caribbean. Here we find out that Jack’s compass is a magical compass that brings the owner to what ever he or she really wants in that point and time. "We have our heading" this movie also is one of the long ones with a hefty 2 hours and 51 minute times frame. Anyway, the English gov. is trying to find Jack and his compass so that they can find the heart of Davey Jones, because whoever has the heart owns the seas or something like that. So Will Turner and Elizabeth get arrested for helping Jack escape in the first movie, and are forced into looking for Jack.

The movie is heavy in plot and the main people that it features the most of are Will and Elizabeth. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of screen time Jack Sparrow had, but his moments are memorable. The effects are amazing and characters are well realized. Except for the damned zombie monkey is still around. And is still a zombie. Which didn’t make much sense to me.

Other than that, the movie was good but be warned...this movie will leave you at the edge of your seat and yelling at the screen when you find out that you’ve just watched this 3 hour movie for a ”To be continued".... see you next May when Pirates 3 comes out.
