Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

I liked the original movie. Lots of people liked the original movie. In fact, so many liked it that Jerry Bruckheimer took note of which parts they liked best, then gave the order to have a sequel made entirely out of those parts. Only this time, those parts will be bigger, louder, brighter, and explode twice as much. Also, the villain will be the legendary Davey Jones himself. I really fear for the third film (currently in pre-production), which has nowhere to go except fighting Satan deep in the bowels of Hell itself.

Dead Man's Chest looks just like the first film, but plugged into a larger amplifier. There was nothing outright wrong with the trailer, but the flashing scenes of swordplay, cannons, ships at sail on unforgiving seas, and pirate zombies all stunk heavily of sequel overkill. And astonishingly, the humorous moments in the trailer belonged to Orlando Bloom, not Johnny Depp. I'm sure Dead Man's Chest will be kind of fun, but like Men in Black 2 will eventually collapse from trying too hard.
