AVAST AND AHOY, MATEYS! Despite some dodgy effects work in the final act (Davy Jones and his crew are great, the Kraken, in many shots, less so) and a slightly messy first act that takes a bit too long to get the main characters in one place, I quite enjoyed Pirates 2. I won't spoil up here, but two suggested topics for discussion in the comments (which is a land for spoilers, matey!):
  1. Discuss the ways in which the film borrows from the second volume of other movie trilogies. There's one in particular I thought it hewed to quite closely (and to good effect).
  2. Compare and contrast--Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Malcolm Reynolds.
