Mega movie monstrosity

I just got back from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest; I am the last person on earth to see it, I know. I read some of the reviews prior to going, but tried to ignore them. I wanted to give the movie a fair shot. And to be fair, it had some good moments but too much of the time it felt like hollywood just wanted to grab more cash since they already had their hands in my pockets from the first Pirates movie. Here is my summary.

Pros:

Nothing like milking a franchise

Cons:

Bringing Caption Balboa from the dead

Actions scenes were long and drawn out giving an action movie the pace of a dull drama.

Revisited too much of the old movie, nothing felt new or exciting.

This movie is probably ok to watch, but only if you get it with a free code at Red Box. It is too gruesome for little kids though.
