I caught it last night, thought it was pretty boring. They just rehashed jokes and bits from the first movie (stop talking about rum every other scene!) and the 2 major action sequences were remarkably similar (giant rolling things speeding down a hill?). Plus there was that deus ex machina towards the end (Spoiler: Orlando Bloom getting off the Flying Dutchman and onto the island.)
I'm disappointed that it's been a while since I've walked out of the theater thinking the movie I had just seen was great. X-Men 3 was a let down, Superman Returns was iffy at times, and this was was just stretched too thin. Here's hoping that Clerks II will bring up my summer movie-going spirits.
