"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is the second film in the franchise starring Jack Sparrow. After a first film that establishes the characters and the pirate world, this second chapter finally introduces the saga's main villain: Davy Jones, a tentacle-faced creature brilliantly portrayed through motion capture by Bill Nighy. The story unfolds as Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) tries to retrieve Jones' heart to avoid enslaving his soul in service to him—only to find his enemies also seek the heart for their own agendas. Director Gore Verbinski brings even more energy to the action scenes and skillfully keeps the audience engaged as the various characters’ paths intertwine and diverge at breakneck speed. There’s also a spotlight on the ever-complicated romance between Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), with sparks constantly flying."
