在夺回了自己心爱的“黑珍珠”号以及摆平了被诅咒的巴博萨船长之后，迷人的杰克船长（约翰尼·德普）并未就此过上风平浪静的逍遥日子，这次他又迎来了一个更为离奇的敌人--传说中的不死人大卫·琼斯（比尔·奈伊）！这在大洋深处都令人人闻风丧胆的魔鬼，将驾驶他的“飞翔荷兰人”号乘风破浪而来，向杰克船长讨还一笔血债，如果杰克想不出奇招逃过此劫，恐怕将要面对生生世世被奴役和诅咒的命运！另外，已经与杰克分道扬镳且正忙着举办婚礼的小铁匠威尔·特纳（奥兰多·布鲁姆）和美女伊丽莎白（凯拉·耐特莉），再次被卷入这场海上争夺当中，二人闻听杰克有难，还是毅然决定出手相助。随着双方激战的展开杰克一方陷入重重危机：荒蛮土地上凶残的土着人群，面目狰狞势不可挡的不死人琼斯，无不让几位好友濒临命运的危机，甚至是死亡的边缘。但令大家意想不到的是，威尔本以为已经去世多年的父亲--“拉靴带”比尔·特纳（斯特兰·斯卡斯加德）在关键时刻离奇现身，成为全局的转折点…… The always dependable Hans Zimmer took the wheel fromKlaus Badelton 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the sequel to Disney's surprise blockbuster smash Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.The Curse of the Black Pearlscore was a mishmash of several composers, and its weaknesses were derived from the resulting lack of focus. While there is little that positions the Dead Man's Chest score anywhere near the esteemedSpielberg-esquemantle that it strives for, Zimmer adds much-needed zest and characterization to the franchise. Jack Sparrow, a cello-led waltz that perfectly encapsulatesJohnny Depp's cartoonish antihero, finally gives the character the musicality it needs, and the occasional burst of Celtic folk brings a warmth and whimsicality to the series that was sorely needed the first time around. Zimmer, who brings his usual blend of percussion-heavy keyboard orchestration to the action sequences, could do this in his sleep, but it's the kind of mediocrity that dispels negativity. Lastly, the embarrassing He's a Pirate [Ti?sto Remix] sounds like an outtake from a Project Runway\u002FZoolander pirate week.
