The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, being dark, salty, and indigestible.

It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten
This second film is pretty much all thrills, special effects and nonstop action -- but with virtually no cohesive or compelling story line.
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times

'Complications arose, ensued, were overcome,' Jack says at one point. Not entirely, but Dead Man's Chest is worth weighing anchor for, regardless.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
In every other way -- as adventure yarn or as satire on that form or merely as an enjoyable entertainment featuring a wonderfully sly and subtle actor -- it is not merely a loser. It is a disaster.
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
