Pirates of The Caribbean

I am way into fiction ( medieval, epic, Tolkien-ish worlds, knights, magic.. ), cyberpunk and streampunk as well as stories concerning pirates and their exploits. Having said that, its easy to assume that I really loved the first movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl. Johnny Depp was beyond great in it, the plot was great, the action, the scenes, everything. I was really looking forward to the second one, "Dead Man's Chest" which premiered in Greece a few days ago. I watched it with Dora yesterday and my feelings about it are currently mixed. Great action, great performance by J.Depp and the rest of the cast, great battles..yet the plot seemed somewhat confusing and not that tight. I was told that over 6 plots were fighting for domination, so to speak, for this movie which resulted in some sort of plots mash-up. That said, its great nonetheless, just not as good as the first one.
