Rumour is that Keith Richards will be in Pirates of the Caribbean III ~ as Jack Sparrow's father.
I enjoyed it, but thought it not as good as the first one. A friend who saw it with me, but hadn't seen the first one thought it was great. Maybe the second always suffers by comparison? Eagerly anticipating the third one, anyway.
One thing that makes it very enjoyable, IMHO, is that the special effects -- awesome as they are -- support and don't overwhelm the story or the actors.
