The verdict
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest holds up as a perfectly decent English film, if not a remarkable one.

Should you spend 2h 31m on it?
2h 31m of English adventure with fantasy threaded through, not one for younger kids. That score holds across 17,601 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.

Story
Captain Jack Sparrow’s got a blood debt to pay: he owes his soul to the legendary Davy Jones, ghastly Ruler of the Ocean Depths. To escape eternal servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman, ever-crafty Jack must track down the still-beating heart of Jones. But he won’t do it alone: Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are drawn back into another one of his perilous quests—assuming they can evade execution for aiding a pirate.
