While it's a likely contender for "longest title of the year," Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was also a damn enjoyable movie. Not quite as tight as the original, I still found it a delightful mix of comedy and action. They did an excellent job of re-using the minor characters from the original (especially Pintel and Ragetti.) Parts of the trailer that I thought would annoy me ended up being fun scenes. Yes, it does leaves off on a cliffhanger, which is annoying, but I forgive them for it. Well worth seeing in the theaters. I might even end up going a second time.
Spoilers in comments, so, be forewarned.
New trailers: * John Tucker Must Die - Um, maybe. After a few drinks. OK, a lot. * Accepted - OK, see this is a clearly stupid movie that looks just stupid enough to crack me up. * Transformers - Ting! Good job not showing anything. But still. * The Guardian - The good news is, by doing this one movie together that I can ignore, both Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner saved us from having to not see two of their movies separately.
