Hmm... I saw this today. It was okay, but nowhere near as good as the first movie... it just seemed to be missing a lot of the 'fun' or something. It was also maybe longer than it had to be (though I didn't really mind, it could have been shorter for sure and would have been no worse...) and once I'd seen it I understood why some reviews said that the movie often replaces true 'scares' or threatening moments with more images of the disgusting members of the Flying Dutchman's crew... I was dissapointed. Not awful, but it could have been a LOT better...
One good thing though is that I thought the characters acted realistically... not something you can always say about characters on film... (though, of course, there is very little character development, but you don't expect it in a film like this)
