He still does amuse from time to time, however. His (almost idiotic) chivalry and goodness simply does not click with the mischievous magnetism that Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann delivers. Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Swann does her share too, but Orlando Bloom as William Turner is still somewhat.wooden, perhaps because of the insipid character that he plays. The slapstick comedy involving the various sequences on the cannibal island and the water mill are amusing, the scenes at sea with the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken draw gasps, and, as ever, the antics of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow brings endless pleasure. From start to finish, it practically flaunts the fact that it is pure and utter entertainment, comic yet breathtaking. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', thank goodness, does no such thing.
When she grins her black-toothed grin, one cannot help but grin along with her. Naomie Harris is just as charismatic as the former two, but her charisma is not menacing or stoic but mysterious and even alluring. Stellan Skarsgard is completely believable as the wretched Bootstrap Bill, a man who has fallen to the depths as far as he can go, and yet can still find the strength to endure it all in the love he has for his son, William. Bill Nighy delivers his lines with aplomb, smacking his lips as if he relishes each syllable.
If you have the patience, stay till the end of credits. (Remember when you watched 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' and realized that you would have to wait another year for 'The Two Towers'? Like that.) NB.
