Quoted: FUCK yes.
Discuss.
Why the hell do they have to put out the previews for it eight months before it comes out? I saw Narnia last night, and they had the preview, and I'm all like "Wooo!" And then it says "July" and I'm like "WTF mate?" Fucking kangaroos.
Seriously, if anything, it looks a lot better than the first one. Which is saying something. Say all you want about Johnny Depp, he's a good actor.

I check it out in IMDB, and it does look promising. The writer & director team who worked on
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) is also working on
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006). This is encouraging, many times in Hollyweird, there are different writers, directors, and producers working on different versions of a "film franchise," and it may or may not have the look and feel of the previous movie.
Right now the movie industry needs all of the good news it can get. Making movies is an expensive endeavor and they are in slump, with superstar actors making $20 million per picture and super movie directors such as Steven Spielberg making 25% of the gross. So for a big name studio movie to turn a profit, their movies must gross hundreds of millions of dollars.
There are also movie trailers in the above links if anyone is interested.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Plot Outline: Jack owes an unpaid debt to Davy Jones and his army of sea-phantoms...his soul. Now, he must find a way to save himself from becoming one of them, and suffering forever.
