I'm usually pretty forgiving of big-budget, Hollywood, no-brainer, "entertainment" movies like the first "Pirates.." but the sequel is much worse than I was expecting, and I was not expecting much at all.Problem List:
1. Boring. REAL boring, from start to finish.
2. Ridiculous, pointless, non-sensical excuse for a plot.
3. ZERO charisma and ZERO chemistry regarding all actors/actresses.
4. Long. WAY too long. There's enough material here for perhaps a
1-minute late-night extended commercial, like those fancy BMW
commercials.
