A true disappointment, this film fell short of its predecessor.  I expected more and It was a fight to stay awake I was so bored.  Essentially I left the theatre feeling as though I had wasted three hours.  On a good note I must tell you the Costumes and Makeup for the barnacle / oceanic people were amazing. Yes the CGI Graphics were intense, and that is true, but any assumption of a plot was lacking, it felt as just a 3 hour stretch between the first film and the yet to come part 3, that being said this film was just entirely too long, and I have to admit it was painful to watch.   I went to an advanced screener with 20 adults and most of them could not even understand it, many of the scenes were useless and added for unneeded stretch time.  For example why was Captain Jack Sparrow a king for a day of the small island, and about to be made into an meal offering?  Did they really need that?  The surprising thing is there is no closure, the last several minutes of the movie set up part three's plot.
