I was treated to a pre-screening of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2″ last night (actually around 1:30 this morning). Amazingly, I did not feel sleepy during the movie. It has the same goofy charm and tongue-in-cheek humor of the first one, but with decidely more grotesquerie and less romance. There are a number of entertaining set pieces that are so over the top that even the characters in the movie take a break from buckling their swashes to stare in disbelief at what is happening. The ending is a less-than-satisfying set-up for “Pirates 3″ next summer, but all-in-all this movie is a lot of fun, and I look forward to seeing it again at a more decent hour.
