Becky, Dave and I went to see Pirates fo the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest this evening at the Showcase Cinema, Bristol. We caught the 7.30pm showing and I must say that for a Thursday night the cinema was pretty full up.

The film itself was as excellent as I thought it was going to be. It at least matched the swashbuckling of the first film and added a bit of yo ho ho to the mix. All the main characters from the first film are back, sometimes in very different circumstances! Twice during the film I thought that the story line jumped about and didn’t fully explain what was happening but it was easy to work out what was going on. There was one moment which reminded me of the film Highlander. See if you can work out what it was.

Also I must say that you need to stay to the *very* end of the credits

The cinema didn’t really meet my expectations and is not very good compared to say the Vue at Cribbs Causeway or even the Odean in Bath. The popcorn was very expensive and really not that nice. We also noticed during the trailers that the surround sound kept on cutting in and out. The main film was only shown in sterio. We complained at the end and they gave us free tickets so we are going to go back and see Superman Returns – and take our own food and drink.
