Returning director Gore Verinski and screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have wisely taken a cue from Depp and learned how to play fast and loose with the material. The second Pirates does more than improve on the original, it pumps out the bilge and offers a fresh start. A pirate could braid his beard in the time it takes for producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s floating franchise to cut loose from the shoals of plot incoherence and put a wind in its sails. The flab extends to the overlong (two hours and thirty minutes) sequel, but mostly in the dawdling setup.
In his Oscar nominated performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp swanned through the first Pirates of the Caribbean(2003) with enough wicked zest to make you forget the film was a bloated crock.
