when I finally saw this on DVD, I overall enjoyed it- but had the near same feeling as when I eventually saw the first one- a little goes a long ways.
A little Jack Sparrow, a little swordfighting, a little slapstick to pad out the tension in a set piece...it just goes on and on and on...and then its time for the second act and repeat the whole process again.
It seems odd to complain that a film is over-stuffed, but these are (for me anyway). They don't get me especially jazzed to see the next adventure, so much as they leave me kind of exhausted and numbed.
Good movies, and well made but I just wish they weren't so bloated.
