fifty men on a dead man's chest
I was torn about Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I wanted to see it but I was skeptical at the same time, hesitant to watch a sequel that I didn't think would hit the same mark as the first one. We Netflix'd Netflix'd it to watch with the kids over the weekend, and when we watched it on Saturday I was pleasantly surprised to find that I liked it, in spite of Orlando Bloom (I've had a hard time liking him after seeing him in Troy).
***SPOILERS***
Jack Davenport (Norrington) made me laugh several times, the interaction between Will and his dad made me tear up, and Kiera Knightly's character made me grind my teeth (leaving the chest so she wouldn't be left out while the guys were fighting was stupid, and it really irked me that she didn't just tell Will why she kissed Jack). I'm looking forward to seeing PotC: At World's End. Hopefully it won't be the disappointment I thought this one was going to be.
