The important thing to keep in mind about this movie, is to expect it to end as a cliffhanger into the third movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007). I didn't know this, and was a little surprised, but the impact was smaller than when I first watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings (2001).
I don't remember the first movie being as funny as this one, but the action in the first film was more fun and believable than the action in this one. The second movie, however, wasn't quite as magical as the first. It has, however, been a while since I've seen the first movie, and this is the first time I've seen the second.
Watching some of the special features got me to appreciating many aspects that went into the movie.
Overall, while the second film was not as great as the first, it's still worth watching because it had a lot of funny lines and some decent action sequences. Furthermore, the music in the movie, like the music in the first one, was fantastic.

I started this movie today thinking I hadn't seen it before. It turns out, however, that I had already seen the movie. I decided to watch the movie anyways.
With respect to the plot, this film had a lot of story to follow. Many characters in the film had an agenda to fulfill; to name a few, we have Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Norrington, and Davy Jones. I would have been lost without the ability to rewind and turn on caption.
The part of the film I enjoyed the most was the design and effects of the character Davy Jones. His other crew, such as William Turner, was also a joy to watch. I loved the tiny details.
Overall, while the movie isn't as memorable as the first, I believe it's still worth watching. Of course, I've yet to watch the third film.
Netflix determined the movie for me as a 98% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.
Instant Comments:
1: lol great seeing him pop out. awesome
1: ensued overcome
1: great light dark comedy to start things off.
2: "Why is the rum always gone?"
2: Now, where's that dog with the keys." (whistles in reference to the ride at Disneyland)
1: lol if it weren't for these bars i'd have you right now
2: Haha. "Actually, you won't need everyone. About six would do."
1: lol the entire fruit bit is hilarious [beginning with when Jack spears all the fruit], Jack springs over the cliff... lol.
2: "There be no knowing here."
2: Haha. "Is the jar of dirt going to help?" "If you don't want it, give it back." "No." "Then it helps."
2: Haha. Elizabeth reveals herself to Jack. Jack tells his first mate to hide the rum.
2: BT: 3 two's. DJ: 4 four's. WT: 4 five's. BT: 6 three's. DJ: (has 4 five's and a four) 7 five's. WT: (has 3 five's, a two, and a one, while BT has 3 two's and 2 three's) 8 five's. BT: 12 five's.
2: "You actually were telling the truth." 1: "I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised."
1: it's interesting how they fight with swords but don't intend to hurt each other... I guess its more like fencing.
1: lol the one part with Sparrow in the water wheel is ridiculous.
1: lol. Holds jar of sand up and asks "Lose something?" Falls down.
2: Hehe. The rum too.
1: great movie... only a couple of things aren't funny; overall great.
1: @2 hr 20 min, Tia Dalma mentions "At World's End."
Credits:
1: After the end credits, the guard dog is seen as the leader of the natives. 2: And he's holding a bone instead of keys.
Special Features Watched:
Bloopers of the Carribean
1: This was alright, some slightly funny things.
Charting the Return
1: Spends about 25 minutes going through getting the second and third movies up and running. The main obstacle seemed to be getting the movie done on time. There's various interesting pieces of information such as coordinating the stunts on the wheel and casting of the pirates.
According to Plan
1: An hour of aspects went into filming the movie. A lot of what was shown here emphasized location and shooting real footage, that is not succumbing to using computer graphics. Part of filming on location is dealing with the weather. They started with a 200 day film schedule.
Captain Jack: From Head to Toe
1: Play all. About half an hour of all the aspects that go into Jack Sparrow's costume. Hat, beard, coat, sword, wig, boots, everything. Every once in a while, there will be mention about how Johnny Depp was particular about or put input into various aspects that goes into his costume.

Haha, this HISHE (How It Should Have Ended) video brings up a good point. Probably one that briefly crossed my mind.
