I saw PotC2 last night! Whee! OMGYAY!
The non-spoilery reaction - yeah, it suffered from a bit of sequelitis (you know, retreading a few jokes, the tendency to try and top the first movie et al), which is sort of inevitable considering how good the first was, and this wasn't quite as good.
But that said, I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in ages. It was visually impressive, made me laugh so hard I cried, had a wonderfully twisted plot and was just so much fun.
Also, going into it completely unspoiled was a good idea. Very rollercoastery "What the hell will happen next?"
I've had a good week for not being spoiled.
On that subject, ( Cut for huge POTC spoilers *and* huge Army of Ghost spoilers )
And advice to anyone going to see it: Stay for the end of the credits. It's worth it.
